It's a good thing you did non-OEM style fogs, because you'd be hating yourself for having to take the wheel off, since the light stalk can only be removed after you take the wheel off... At least the wiper stalk you just have to take the cowl off. Just gotta get a good deal on some S parts so I can scoop those/some S trim wheels (Not got the $$$ for fancy rims/lowering, so going OEM alloys seems like a smart move if I can get junkyard prices...)

[@BrandonStellmach]

Yeah I would of hated to have to take off the steering wheel and air bag again. But that’s what I have been trying to do is source some cheap S parts to update my corolla! But it’s hard to find good deals because they are always so over priced!

[@ProjectBlackweather]

@@BrandonStellmach I was lucky, and when I had to do the PITA that was replacing the vent selector wire, noticed that I don't have the relay plugs, so I didn't end up blowing $$ on that stalk. Gonna try for rims closer to when I need tires so I can just get the TMPS sensers swapped over and new tires. Probably will get the fogs done sooner tho. Wish there was an option for heated seats, since those are dope, esp if you do manual work and have a sore back

[@BrandonStellmach]

That’s what I did. I got a hole in one of my tires. And the rest were going to needed to be replaced. So I just orders wheels and tires together! I have heard some people had heated seats in the corolla, but I’m pretty sure it was a dealer option. And not an option with the car! But heated seats would be great!

[@ucielmartinez213]

That steering wheel is great, that steering wheel only had to come from a xle Corolla model with jbl system or an Xrs model because those two models came with the two keys and the regular corolla S steering wheel only came with one key, great upgrade!!👍

[@BrandonStellmach]

You know I was thinking the same thing, because I don’t see many corolla steering wheels with the phone controls. When I bought it the listing just said Corolla S. I assumed it just had more options or something!

[@ucielmartinez213]

@@BrandonStellmach Yess, it was listed like that because the xle is basically the S trim just that it has a full JBL, with sunroof and some come xle's come with leather heated and cooled seats, the xle is basically an Xrs trim just without the 2.4L engine

Okay. So pretty much I have a fully loaded steering wheel!

Nice upgrade. Will need to check on options for my 03 CE (base model). My wheel has some wear marks from years of use.

[@BrandonStellmach]

If your 2003 came with steering wheel controls it would be nice to get them. Or swap out to the XRS steering wheel!

[@Pallidus_Rider]

@@BrandonStellmach I've been looking at carbon fiber wheels. For rubber section on wheel, the rubber finish has worn :( Saving up money now

[@BrandonStellmach]

@@Pallidus_Rider another idea you can do, is check out eastdeatiling. They make custom steering wheel covers that need to be sown on. And they only cost about $50. I put one on my 2016 Camry. They fit nice, not like a typical steering wheel cover. Looks stock.

[@TheRealVolk]

Hi, thanks for documenting this mod. I would like to duplicate exactly this wheel swap in my carols and I have a couple questions. 1. Why can’t you just plug in the airbag from the new steering wheel? Why do you think it necessary to carry over the old one? 2. Why do you want to change the clock spring? Thank you!

[@BrandonStellmach]

The reason why I used my old air bag, is because to buy a new air bag is really expensive, and since I already have a good airbag that’s why I used mine. And for the clock spring, I only changed out the clock spring because I was adding steering wheel controls to my car. If your car already has steering wheel controls, or if you are not adding steering wheel controls then you will not need to swap it out.

[@TheRealVolk]

@@BrandonStellmach Okay, gotcha, thanks for that info. My current steering wheel doesn’t have audio controls, so I guess I’ll need to add a new clock spring to this project. And a quick follow up question about the airbag. Did the new steering wheel not include an airbag? Is that why it was a good deal compared to a steering wheel option with an air bag? Also thanks for the swift reply. 🐾

[@BrandonStellmach]

Yeah I only bought the steering wheel without the air bag, because if I would have bought one with an airbag they usually sell for around 300-400$. But the steering wheel itself was only $100.

[@TheRealVolk]

@@BrandonStellmach Definitely saved some money there. Thanks so much for explaining those details. Finished product looks real good. Cheers! 🐾

[@fernandozepeda5606]

Did the multimedia buttons on the steering wheel work for you? I have a corolla 13 le, it does not have steering wheel controls, I am going to put the corolla 13 s steering wheel on it and it comes with the controls, I hope it works for me.

[@BrandonStellmach]

In the video they did not work, because I had a bad clock spring. But now I put in a new clock spring with a radio that supports steering wheel controls and they all work great!

[@dougmead7669]

@@BrandonStellmach I'm in the process of adding stereo controls to my 2005 Toyota Tacoma PreRunner. I got the modified air bag, and the steering wheel control switches (from a Toyota Camry Land Cruiser, 04-07 2006) from Ebay. (I was able to mount the switches to the steering wheel,) I thought with my Kenwood Echelon 1057XR and the mmr2 steering wheel interface, every thing would wire up, WRONG !! ) It looks like I need to change out my existing clock spring and add a clock spring from a Toyota Camry Land Cruiser, so the wire harnesses will be compatible! Has anyone done this mod? and is changing out the clock spring the answer?? Thanks and awesome video!

[@BrandonStellmach]

@@dougmead7669 yes you will need to change out the clock spring, to one that supports the steering wheel controls. Otherwise those steering wheel buttons will never go past the clock spring. And the steering wheel controls should have a extra plug to plug into the clock spring.

[@dougmead7669]

@@BrandonStellmach Thanks for the info! So I assume I change out my existing clock spring, to the Toyota Camry Land Cruiser clock spring that the stereo controls came from?

[@BrandonStellmach]

@@dougmead7669 well you are saying you are working on a 2005 Tacoma. So I’m not that familiar with that year. But what I did was, was get a Toyota Corolla clock spring from a higher end corolla that already had steering wheel controls. So I would look and see if the higher end trim models of the Tacoma had steering wheel controls. And if they did look for that part number clock spring. But knowing Toyota they probably used the same clock spring in many other cars. I hope that makes sense.

my clock spring is still good, would i still need to replace it to add the SWC? finally found a nice corolla S one at the junkyard, only paid $9 for it!

[@BrandonStellmach]

The only reason you will have to upgrade your clock spring is because the base model corollas doesn’t have the same clock spring as the Corolla S, and when you add steering wheel controls. You need to make sure you have the plug for the buttons. If you already do, then there is no need for you to change the clock spring.

[@mtaahahabib9844]

I have a question.. Can you change the leds lighting up the buttons on the steering wheel controls? mine have yellow light in them and i wanna change it to white..

[@BrandonStellmach]

I’m not sure about that. I have been thinking about the same thing. Might try to upgrade them In The future!

[@faaygoo]

Is there any wire going from the steering buttons to the car stereo in order to assign them?

[@BrandonStellmach]

I have an after market stereo, and I was able to link up the steering wheel buttons for volume and the next/previous song! Not sure if it will work with the stock radio.

[@emil.drachev]

Hello, great video! How did you install the horn, multi steering wheel, cruise control and airbag? Can you show a picture?

Hey have you thought 💭 of getting a corolla s seats ? They will feel so much better then the base model

[@BrandonStellmach]

I have been thinking about it, the hard part is trying to source all the seats in good condition, unless I could find a donor car or something like that. Other wise I was thinking about getting some good seat covers!

[@LostParadise_]

For the steering wheel controls, is all you need the wheel with the controls and the clock spring to plug them into it?

[@BrandonStellmach]

So one thing I don’t know if this will work on the stock radio. Because I used the android SWC learning feature to tell the car what each button does. And I talked with someone and they said swapping out the clock spring didn’t work for them. But yes all I did was get a steering wheel with the controls, and swap out the clock spring with the correct connectors.

[@LostParadise_]

@@BrandonStellmach Gotcha. I have a Pioneer radio in my 2010 Matrix. I had an XRS with SWC and they worked fine, but that car got totalled so I have a '10 S that doesn't have SWC. I was told to install this little black box that translates SWC from most cars into something the radio knows what to do with, probably because my radio is not an android radio. I've just heard that you need to start ripping entire harnesses out and add pins to the harness.

[@BrandonStellmach]

@@LostParadise_ I heard about all the wiring that needs to be done as well. But I knew the clock spring needed to be replaced anyways. And after I replaced it I tried to link the buttons to the radio, and it worked. So I’m not sure if certain cars already had the wires installed already or not. Or if the android radio helps or not. But overall I did not have to splice any wires for the steering wheel controls to work.

I had a base corolla, with no cruise control and no steering wheel controls. And when I swapped out to a good clock spring with the plugs for the steering wheel controls.
