Steering Wheel

[nikbiomed]

Hi

 

I want to change my steering wheel for an aftermarket type but where I have done this before to both my other supes this one has an airbag and wondered what my options were.

 

Can anyone help?

The TRD wheel with airbag, but Nic's last post in this thread:

 

Unfortunately they are discontinued now and TRD Japan have no stock left

An alternative supplier with stock?

a RAV4 wheel is very much like the TRD in look and a wheel from 01-05 RAVs willl fit. Mind you that there is a leather version and a non leather version where the latter being a bit boring for the soop. Check with a few salvage yards if they have any. Also bear in mind that the airbag will probably have popped, so a new one from Toyota is needed and that is rather expensive. Around £250 here in Denmark. You can dump the airbag and get a replacement plate or something in stead for aprox half that price.

Sound like a plan, I will look into this. Don't mind loosing the Airbag so long as I can get a decent Airbag compatible boss kit (where from though). My only concern is the insurance, but then if I let them know I nolonger have a car with an airbag then I should be OK.
