Swap '01-'03 Steering Wheel Audio Controls & Airbag onto '00 Possible?
Is it possible to put a 01' or higher steering wheel into a '00? I am buying a '00 I30t soon, and I am SOOO used to my '01's audio controls on the steering, I will miss that feature a lot. The airbag looks so nice on the 5.5Gen too, it would be best if i could put in a 5.5Gen airbag and audio controls onto the '00. If anyone have done it or knows how to do it, please chime in. Thanks!

Does anyone have rear pictures of the bose for '00 '01 and '02?

You would also need the spiral connector on for the steering wheel harness to have a harness to plug the steering wheel buttons in. I dont see a reason that they would ahve prewired this for an 00, but I'd double check to make sure the parts are diff/same.

I included 5.5Gen in my original post because that's the airbag that I like, but I would be happy with an '01 Maxima's that has the audio controls too. If the 5.5Gen's do work, then I have a higher chance of finding one. The '01-'03 I30's airbag looks the same as the '02-'03 Maxima's, they changed the design 1 year earlier, so I do have the option of using an '01 I30's if the 5.5Gen airbags are incompatible.
Thanks everyone for your inputs.

I want to change my 5.5 gen wheel with a 6gen wheel and the stealership said they wouldn't touch it because there are so many different steering wheels that Nissan uses. I know also that I ran into different airbag technology. Your best bet is to just get used to the controls that come with the car you want. It is a pain at first, but you will adapt.

For example, we don't NEED to have remote door locks, but once you're used to it, you don't want to go back.
