Default Scion TC steering wheel swap?

Do you think the Scion TC steering wheel will bolt up? I know the airbag is a dual stage so that wont work, What I am interested in is the audio controls, Is there any interchangeable with audio controls and a single stage air bag, If not i might end up just hacking the controls from the TC wheel and modding them into a GS wheel. Thanks

Tc in SC? Will that cheapen your ride?
I remember it is plastic, right?

To answer your question, the wheel will bolt up.

The '08s were leather wrapped and I think leather was an option with the "sport" wheel before that.

I think you can wire the tiptronic buttons on the GS steering wheel for volume controls, but you might have to do some searching to find out how.

i dont think it looks too bad if you can change the emblem in the middle, but make sure the airbag plugs in tho.

+1 ^^ Even still, IMO, I don't think he should do it. Go with a GS, or RX wheel.

It may be a yota, but it is not on par with lexus quality. Still, putting anything newer looking on an older car looks out of place. Gotta find creative ways to mod what ya got.
