So, these other Toys that use the "same" steering wheel as the 80–can I use the wheel and drop my airbag center section in the middle, replacing the original? I mean, seems like a no-brainer, but thought I’d ask, because using a wheel with the wrong airbag is a Hell-no for me...

Add: just found this--wheel fits, airbags incompatible--so now I'm really wondering how many of these 'plug-and-play' wheels are FULLY compatible with airbagged 80s...


I've seen several accounts of LS400 wheels with swapped-in 80 airbags, but the year isn't always stated. Then there's this...


Many years are listed as compatible in that thread, but some folks also say the 98-2000 LS400 wheel fits but the 80 airbag doesn't fit the wheel and the horn won't work.

So I'd be interested in hearing from those who've swapped wheels from other vehicles and used the 80 airbag, preferably with model-year info.
