    Did some research but I’m stuck a bit . So got this wheel from Japan not knowing it would not have the airbag igniter. So question is
    Anyone did a wheel swap like this from Japan? And how did you do it with out igniter .

    I'm sure you can just mount everything up without the inflator and use it as-is, but it'll throw the airbag light on the dash. I personally wouldn't drive without it. I'm sure you can pick one up from a junkyard.

    Thanks for your reply I know I’m trying to have the bag hook up right for safety. I check used ones from junk yard and are over $150 …

    The airbag inflator on your stock wheel may even fit physically, but I'd cross reference part numbers to make sure they are compatible operationally. Take precautions when working on that stuff, if it goes off unexpectedly it will cause damage.

    All boils down to the AB pigtails
    If male/female yellow plugs are the same your good
    (Very likely IMO)

    That JDM SW looks very similar to a USDM Corolla SW
    I know Corolla SW would plug and play bc of steering wheel swap vids I have seen

    Bolted right on. Cruise and airbag worked fine. But mine was an 04 truck, I know some of that stuff changed around 03-04.
