question about changing steering wheels

Before you bash me I have been searching the site on and off for 2 hours lol.

I have a 1997 sc300 and my cousin recently totaled his 2003 Es330 he has agreed to give me his steering wheel which is very nice tan leather and dark wood. Does anyone know if these are compatible and would anyone be willing to give a Diy write up?? if some knows of a post with this info I apologize please point me in the right direction.

The supra swap mentioned previously is very detailed- it's worth googling... The only question I have is- anyone know if the sc like the supra has an extra trace on the clock spring?

I want to make use of the radio steering wheel controls at some point...

all the wheels physically will fit, what you want is one that has a 1 stage airbag, otherwise it will not plug up. some need the adapter or you have to do some wiring.
