Then there are the controls to wire up. It is a nice steering wheel though the practical costs. Mod on

the steering wheel should bolt up. The LS430 airbag is a dual stage so you need to get a connector that allows you to connect to only one of the two connectors on the back of the bag.

Ok... is there a air bag release or something to prevent it from deploying while unbolting it? My 95 LS400 has the original car phone still in it and chirps eerytime i start the vehicle... kinda cool but i would probably need to disassemble those cables as well.??? just need some help as well before i purchase one. thx for any assistance

Just have to dive in and see what does- doesn't. Part of the mod game if you play that way. This is why the Aussies can build some pretty nice rides using OEM parts from many different models-years of Toyota and other cars. I've read on suspension upgrades, disc brake, ways to drop the car and maintain a good alignment spec but swapping lower control arms from other models...incredible amount of research and experimentation.

Probably could program a host of features withthat steering wheel. BUT it isn't a simple unbolt, bolt-in application. Of course it takes $ though the benefits for other Toyota nuts is well worth it.

Only bolt on option for a 95-97 ls400 is a JDM Celsior or Silkblaze or Clazzio wheels specifically for that age range.
98-00 have a completely different air bag and mounting method for said airbag so you'd need that too if you wanted to go that route. Same basic deal as the LS430 wheels.

What about the UCF10 and different wheel options? Can use a 2nd or 3rd gen on my 1st gen? Or a SC?

01-03 steering wheels look better IMO there smaller and sportier,While your at it,you can convert the from of the car to a 98-2000 ls400, I see them all over dubai
