    Hey all,

    I have been looking to upgrade the steering wheel on my 2006 Tacoma and have purchased a replacement.

    This is a photo of my current wheel

    This is a photo of the new wheel

    The issue is that the new wheel was supposedly complete with an airbag. The wheel is 100% complete with all brackets and hardware BUT minus the airbag inflator.

    Am I able to reuse my current inflator? I would prefer not to purchase a complete used airbag if unnecessary (about $500 Canadian).

    I have read elsewhere on TW that the change between my inflator and the ones found in the 12+ wheels is that the placement of the wires have been swapped (as shown in my pictures).

    Thanks for having a look.
