Ok, thanks - I was affirming what I had heard earlier about the pre-2001 and 2001 RX airbags having the same connector. So, for those with pre-2001 RX's wanting the oem wood/leather wheel, it is possible with a 2001 airbag. I just couln't find one - I wasn't paying $600+ for a new one.

Excellent info. Guess, I lucked out big time on this deal. This probably needs to be sticked somewhere. There's tons of 99 and 00 folks wanting the wood wheel.

I agree. I was asking because so many people want to do the swap and it is an issue for us pre-'01 RX's. We need to swap from old to new airbag, and the only newly shaped airbag that will work (at least as far as the connector goes) is the 2001 RX airbag.

Thanks again for your info.
