    if you can get all the parts needed for the 13 wheel you can use the air bag from the 05 wheel. but it takes a lot to find all those parts. I am in the process of hooking up the controls just waiting on the interface kit

    I have my 2007 Steering Wheel and I'd like to use that airbag.

    I'll need to find the 2012 Steering Wheel now right?

    I saw some on ebay, lowest airbag was 350, and lowest steering was $99. I originally was going to do that coverall but I'm thinking about the 09-11 wheel w audio control n Bluetooth. I usually hold the stewing wheel at 8 & 4 o'clock so, it'll fit my grip better...and cheaper as well. but that 12 wheel looks nice though

    Jake, would you happen to have the part number or pic of the spiral cable for steering wheel audio/Bluetooth controls? I'be found that is cheaper to get Camry''s steering wheel, bag n controls for less than $100. Just need the wiring/spiral from the wheel to the head unit. Thanks man

    So the steering wheel's audio/Bluetooth control plugs into the clock spring, what's the part/harness from the spring to the head? Or is that just the wire kit for aftermarket unit?

    there is a wire harness you can get from taco tunes that plugs in a aftermarket head unit. if you have jbl factory unit then it's already plugged into the back of it. the truck in already wired for it if you don't have jbl. the plug is behind the head unit. it the one not being used if you have aftermarket.

    I have an 08 with no steering wheel controls, so just making sure that they'll fit

    I have a 2015 steering wheel. I've been looking for a complete airbag but the don't want to drop $350 for the airbag.

    So if I read this correctly, I can use the airbag from my 2006 wheel? All I need to do is exchange the cover from the 2006 to the 2015?

    2015 aftermarket airbag covers are $50 new.

    That seems too easy?


    What is the part number for the correct clock spring that works with the steering wheel controls for 2015?

    It boggles my mind sometimes how concerned people can get about trivial shit. If the design of the steering wheel in your truck makes you so angry that you want to throw it out a window.... then I hate to say it, but you're not really a truck guy.

    A truck is a truck. Its a tool. It is to be used in a utilitarian manner. If the radio dials have a 'fucking terrible texture' and the steering wheel is too bulky o_O or look like shit, then you're overthinking your truck.

    I went the cheaper route, ordered a Camry's steering wheel and airbag with controls for $75. Will attempting soon

    Color match / black would be schaaaa weeet. But derping it is not.
