Steering wheel conversion with Radio controls

Official write up with more info here.
https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads...tooth-phone-controls-offical-write-up.537400/



The Airbag is the 2 wire type. The 2002-2005 Sequoia uses a single wire airbag and some older Tundra's as well as Camry's. So I'm looking for a different airbag now.




This clock spring will fit our column mounting locations and has the correct plug for the controls and single airbag. https://www.amazon.com/QKPARTS-Spring-Toyota-Sequoia-2002-2005/dp/B077Y8PHB2






The wire connectors from the column to the clock spring assembly I'm still researching.
Most after market radios will work with steering wheel control interface. If you have a Pioneer head unit check this info. http://jvde.net/node/7 Since most controls work off resistance This Pioneer hack may work for other head units. Just google search for your brand. Connector for radio controls:

EDIT: Looking like using a interface module would be the cheapest and easiest to hook controls up to HU.


Connector for cruise control and cruse control stalk. All the resistance for each button appears to be the same as ours. So the CC should be just pinning the plug correctly to match ours.

 

Parts list so far:
1. Steering wheel with factory radio controls and wire harness some: 03 Sequoia, ? Landcruiser, 4th gen 4Runner, ? Camry and 2nd gen Tacoma's.
2. Airbag with single connector: 03 Sequoia could be other years or model Toyotas.
3. (Optional) Bluetooth Cell phone control option. Part number is for: 4th gen 4Runner, ? Camry and ? Landcruiser. According to Camelback Toyota.
Switch $77.04 part #84244-35030-B0 is for the gray color. Looks black, tan was the only other option.
Cable $30.37 part #84204-58010
4. Clock spring:

I always wondered this, sub'ed.

 

Interesting. Looking forward to see how this turns out.

Also looking into adding the Bluetooth phone controls on the right side of wheel.

 

What year is that steering wheel ?

funny @gearcruncher I was just reading your stereo build thread. 2004 4runner

 

I need to find a 00-03 Tundra airbag since they only use 1 connector.

 

I can most likely get you one if you need it.

 

Yes that steering wheel does have bluetooth control as well. Looks like a 2nd gen steering wheel. Same as my bro's. I bought the 2013 navi unit from another member on here and steering wheel airbag and srs ribbon cable, radio controls and bluetooth radio controls from dealership.

Did you only hook up one side of Airbag? The one I have is a dual bag.

EDIT: Your second gen so yours would already be a dual rate bag.

 

well this is interesting.. i may look into this instead of the older sequoia wheel.. this looks cleaner.

 

i do believe those had the same wheel as 01-04 Tacomas, the airbag wont fit. I know the 02 i just had at work was definitely the same wheel as my 01 taco.

 

I needs to be a tundra wheel with the audio control options. There may be other years and models useable. I'm still researching it. The Tundra and Sequoia clock springs have the plug for audio controls with only 1 airbag plug. That's what has pointed me in this direction for model of vehicle.

 

this look similar?

That's just like the one that's in a 1st gen now. No provisions for the audio controls.

See my very first picture

 

but cant you change the cover

 

No the actual spokes for the wheel are in different locations. I looked at swapping just cover to my airbag. It's completely different.
