Default GS350 Steering Wheel Swap: what parts?

Hi. I bought a gs350 steering wheel from a fellow member, and need to know exactly what parts are needed for the swap.

Where can I find a fitting airbag and 2step adapter? What do I need to make my cruise control work? Can I use the cruise stick from the gs350 wheel since its attached?

Picture for reference:

Nice choice...it's always good to be different from the bunch I'm using a IS-F steering wheel on my SC. From the pic I can already tell you that you're going to need to buy the airbag & airbag cover set-up. Also the newer steering wheels are dual-stage wired so you'll need to do some rewiring as well. I took the ignitor off of my original SC airbag (the metal piece on the back of the air bag with 4 nuts holding it in place which has the wire attached to it) and swapped it with the new one. But you're going to need that airbag & cover.

I purchased my steering wheel separate from a guy with a wrecked IS-F. I found the air bag with cover on eBay. Search "GS350 Driver Airbag" That should guide you in the right direction.

How did you wire the 2 stage airbag? Is it working and functioning?

I swapped the airbag ignitors from the back or both airbags. Mine went right in. But I'm also going to be wiring in the paddle-shifters soon as well to shift my transmission. Depending on the rear of the airbag you might be able to just swap the ignitor. Unfortunately without the airbags on these newer model wheels nothing works. Well the horn at least
