Curious about an upgrade I want to do down the road. Will a Toyota Solara steering wheel work on our cars? I ask because I had a 2006 Solara a while back and it has steering wheel controls I really liked. There is an adapter to make the controls work with the pioneer stereo I have. Will the wheel bolt to the steering column and will the airbag plug in? I checked this thread and it says nothing about it:

Alright, got a chance to sit down and get my info together. My setup is an IS300 wheel with the E-shift buttons, IS300 clock spring, PAC Audio SWI-RC interface for the steering wheel controls, and Pioneer double din head unit that allows for remote input. The IS300 clock spring is plug and play in the ‘98-99 Celicas but 94-97 will need a new plug on the harness to plug in to the car. The benefit of the IS clock spring is that it has two extra pins that allow the signal from the buttons to get out, vs our clock spring that if I recall correctly, every pin is used. You may need more than just the two extra pins though, so you may need the entire Solara setup. Leaving the clock spring, I had to run extra wires from the steering column to the radio, where the interface is. My setup only allows for volume up and down, but that’s plenty for me.
