Mans! You could not be any clearer on the instructions..top of the toppest level man. Can't wait to see what else you have done to the FJ. Thanks for posting.

[@daniilshahov5014]

Very good Job

[@kylegreen9421]

Thanks

[@visionaryjunky]

Did you disconnect the battery terminals again before plugging the air bag wires back in? I’m concerned they can accidentally set off for some reason lol

[@kylegreen9421]

Yes. I was also concerned about accidental deployment.

[@stevedrawdy2532]

Can steering wheel controls be added to FJ's without steering wheel controls at all?

[@kylegreen9421]

Yes. My 08 is a base model and had no controls but the wiring was there. Some later years removed the wiring but the early ones definitely had it. See the description for my other 2 videos and check for the plugs before you order the parts.

@@kylegreen9421 very cool, thank you for the reply. Subbed!

[@elitechen5918]

tried on a fj 2010 base model, aftermarket kenwood radio, not working, no lit up on the control........am i missing something here?

[@kylegreen9421]

Were all the connections the same on wiring harness at the steering wheel? Was the Kenwood installed with a harness that plugs into the factory harness or was it cut and spliced in?

[@martijnrijnsburger9420]

Kyle, like all the extra options you could buy on a early fj cruiser, I assume that all this is pre-wired? Are these OEM parts or aftermarket? Can you also tell me the part numbers. Thanks a lot from a proud fj owner from Holland....

[@kylegreen9421]

Yes, it's all pre-wired in the early models. The parts are OEM. www.fjcruiserforums.com/threads/add-steering-wheel-audio-controls-to-base-models.743832/#post-9349368

Hi Kyle, is the same installation process in a 2018 FJ cruiser? I would like to add the media and phone controls.

[@kylegreen9421]

Sorry, I wish I knew about the 2018. From what I have read on the forums much of the extra wiring for optional components was removed in the later models. Best way to tell would be to remove the airbag unit and see if the wiring harness is there.

[@freddyrivera8890]

Did you have to cut the center airbag cover to fit the radio control?

[@freddyrivera8890]

Got it, thanks a lot man... great job 👍

[@kylegreen9421]

I hope it helped.

[@mariochahin2029]

hi bro on my steering wheel dont have any controller option if i want to upgrade and order the controller audio and the phone controller will be possible to install without changing hole steering wheel or no need ?

[@kylegreen9421]

Check this out. www.fjcruiserforums.com/threads/add-steering-wheel-audio-controls-to-base-models.743832/#post-9349368 If you have questions after that let me know. I did not install the phone side as my head unit handles that on the touch screen.

[@leechapman485]

Who did you order the switch from

[@kylegreen9421]

I ordered from a Toyota dealer in my area. You can also look at Toyota dealers online. Many of them will ship it to you for less then your local dealer. There is a link in the description to my post on the FJ Cruiser forums with part numbers you can use to search. You should be able to find the left control for around $100.

[@Phenixrising-p1p]

You need gas lol just sayin

[@kylegreen9421]

No doubt.
