REF:STEERING WHEEL SWAPPING MKIV
mkivowner said:
Hello!...
I try to swap '98 Supra's steering wheel into my '97...Do you
guys think will it fit???
Thanks.
All years are interchangeable.{as in physically fitting}
But here are the problems:
The air bag spiral cable different on 98 only{small plug}93.5-97{large plug}.
The spiral cables are not interchangeable ie:swapping the 98 spiral cable into 93.5-97 cars,to get the 98 wheel to work.Or using a 93.5-97 spiral cable to get the TRD STEERING WHEEL to work in a 98.
The same applies to the TRD JAPAN STEERING WHEEL.This wheel will PLUG into the 93.5-97 cars,not PLUG into a 98 car.
In order to get the 98 steering wheel into the 93.5-97 cars you have to carefully CUT and SPLICE the air bag plug from your old air bag and install onto the 98 air bag.
The same applies to the TRD JAPAN STEERING WHEEL,{in a 98}CUT the plug off the 98 air bag and SPLICE onto the TRD JAPAN STEERING WHEEL air bag.
If you don't care if the air bag works or not then install wheel /air bag assy,and unplug air bag ecu.
DISCLAIMER:read all pages of SRS SYSTEM in factory repair manuel before attempting any repairs/modifications.

This is based upon my own personal experences working at a Toyota dealer,and owning various years of Supra's.
The cruise control issue on the TRD STEERING WHEEL can be addressed by calling me for more info.
