    So I'm all excited to install the intermittent wiper stalk (bought used off ebay), new spiral cable (cheapie off ebay), and steering wheel controls (from a TW member, which I carefully plasti-dipped black last night) this morning. I get everything apart, and the wiper switch won't fit. Careful inspection reveals that they're very close, but not quite compatible. Strike one:

    The spiral cable goes in without a hitch, and as I'm re-plugging everything in, I realize I've hit strike two:

    The control harness only has one wire. Everything I'd found online to this point led me to believe that this would not be the case. Anyone have a lead on where I can get the harness I need to connect the spiral cable to the head unit? This is the control set I have:

    I've been pretty unsuccessful finding this harness anywhere, and it's looking like I'm going to have to make it up myself. Working on getting some pins ordered and I guess a spool of 22 awg stranded.

    I'd love to hear someone tell me there's an easier way!

    That was a bit more work than I wanted to sign on for, but I got the wires run for both cruise and the steering controls, and it's working great. The controls I have were listed as 2013 take-offs, but I think they're actually 2014 controls. I ran all four wires, but the left/right and back buttons don't seem to do anything.

    I still need to get the right wiper stalk; anyone have suggestions on how to make sure I get the right one this time?

    I believe you’ve got a 2016 and up Tacoma wiper stalk.

    I think the 2013 Camry and Corolla are the same fit.
