I searched but couldn't find anything (maybe didn't look hard enough) but will a 2004 SC430 leather and wood steering wheel work with a 2002 GS300 without having to change the air bag? Basically, would it be a plug and play, or would i have to change the airbag and/or connectors? Thanks

U should be able to use your original bag.

Based what I am seeing on ebay, the airbags between sc430s and gs30/430s are interchangable, after 01...but according to a member on here, some gs's (post-01) still have single stage, but it doesn't make sense to me that some would have single, and others double.

For anyone who cares, an sc430 steering wood steering wheel bolts up perfectly to a 2001-05 lexus gs300, just need to switch your cruise control switch since the connector is different. That being said I did notice a extra wire and connector that matched up perfectly with the audio steering control on the sc430 wheel, but when plugged in, nothing happened. I'm assuming more wiring needs to be done to get steering wheel audio controls? I saw the plug and figured I was lucky.

most people have used the wood wheel from a RX but the SC430 should work

I believe some sc430s had black wood and I paid $115 shipped, but I was surprised because most sc and gs wheels, even used go for $250-450 so I'm very happy

all 98-00 airbags are single stage...

airbags from 01-05 vary from single stage to dual stage...

in my research and (there are a ton of threads here that explain all of this) I have found that the majority of single stage airbags produced after 01, were only made in 01,02 so there are a lot more dual stage airbags with the new style chrome emblem and different fit.

Ive purchased a few wood steering wheel setups now and the important thing to remember is that if the wheel is dual, then you need dual and so on....

I've seen a 2005 gs300 with a single stage airbag, and the sc430s have single stage as well (single plug). Mine, the 2004 sc430 this came out of, and the 2005 gs300 I saw, all had single stage airbags unlike my 2004 es330 that has a dual stage.

The 2003 SportDesign steering wheel I purchased came with a single stage airbag. I lucked out!

every es airbag ive seen is dual, have not purchased or researched the sc bags yet...in my area ive done a few swaps already, and been buying the rx wheels and airbags so maybe getting the sc wheels could be a cheaper route...

good find OP...congratz!!
