Some of the buttons won't work, airbag won't be a plug and play thing most likely. Assuming it's anything like our 2IS steering wheels in the 1IS (http://my.is/forums/f90/isx50-steeri...it-diy-479993/), it'll be a little bit of work.
The 3RX RX350 F-Sport steering wheel may be a better choice TBH. All of the functions on it's steering wheel would, technically, coordinate with everything we have, only problem would be the airbag again. I've actually been thinking about picking one up and giving it a try, prices are a tad bit high though, and the airbag itself seems to be removed from most of the used ones (with the airbag itself selling for $300+)
Thanks Zmon. I've just gone ahead and purchased it anyway. Only $200 for a perfect condition wheel with red stitching (match my matador red IS). If it's too much of a hassle to get it fitted I'll sell it on.

Good luck, $200 is a deal. Post up your progress with it.
A little update. Received the '14-'16 F Sport wheel and it's damn near perfect but as I was forewarned it's not entirely compatible. The wheel itself fits along with the airbag but it's the two switch/button units either side that are different in shape. Also the two locating pins at the rear of both those two units are a different layout. So as far as I know what I'd need is the two button components, airbag cover and silver piece (basically the remaining parts that I did not receive). So if anyone has these or knows where I can get a good deal on them I'd be really appreciative.
Here's a pic of the wheel I received and beneath it what I need to complete the setup.
Are you trying to reuse your airbag, or did that steering wheel come with one? TBH, the steering wheel airbag w/ the cover is usually fairly expensive when I see them up on eBay, usually a good $2-300.
Good find. Yeah was going to use my airbag. The covers can be found on aliexpress I believe. I'm just starting to think it may not be worth it with all the shipping and install costs. I'll keep an eye out for some deals though. There's no rush.
The minimum order states '100 pieces' but I got in contact and they seemed more than happy to just sell one. Waiting on the price but it's obviously going to be far cheaper than from an auto parts dealer.
An update. So I've received the control switch assembly and airbag cover from China. Both parts look great but it turns out I need the matching airbag assembly. I think I was a little naive thinking my one would be compatible with this wheel. So if anyone has an airbag they're willing to part with or know where I can pick one up for cheap that'd be greatly appreciated.
You will want to post a WTB in the 3IS sub-section.
Thanks mate. Possibly a WTS too. I may just get rid of what I've got. I've also just asked a seller on eBay if he'd swap my new wheel for one of his 2IS DTM wheels.
Very interesting project. Interested to see if the buttons on the 3IS steering wheel are programmable and will work with the 2IS electronics. Best of luck!
If you were going to do an aftermarket headunit in your 2is as well, you could just use a PAC SWC module to program everything pretty simply. At least my knowledge would leave to believe that.

Maybe, but who knows if the two units are identical enough to the point where you could do that. If they are different units entirely it would be very difficult.
