Default IS350 Steering wheel in GS400?

I've always loved having controls on the steering wheel, so I was thinking about swapping my steering wheel for a 2IS Steering Wheel. What does everyone think?



I wanted to setup the audio controls with my double din head unit and wire the paddle shifters to my e-shifters. What's everyone's thoughts on this? I understand that the air bag is different, so I was thinking about just getting an airbag cover on ebay. I saw someone in the SC forum doing the same so I said, whyyy not

I saw the steering wheel without airbag on ebay for $160, which seems pretty cheap to me. I'm pretty sure installation should be like mounting any steering wheel, can anyone correct me on this one? I would just have to figure out how to switch up the steering wheel controls with my double din head unit.

I don't think its possible. The wheel might fit? since its lexus spec tooth. BUT I highly doubt air bag, stereo will work. Since I don't think anyone has even made the oem steering wheel audio controls to work with an aftermarket deck.

I know you can use those PAC modules for aftermarket units to use oem steering wheel controls but I think they have to come with the car, adding that wheel may not be possible, but I'd love it if it was, airbag or not.
