Add Steering Control Wiring Kit (+$200)

Your factory steering wheel was designed to be inoffensive. The Black Bandit wasn't.

Full core replacement, hand-stitched leather, flat-bottom design. Every button, airbag and control carries over exactly. The cabin looks and feels transformed from the first drive.

What makes it different

🏆
Full core replacement — not a cosmetic upgradeA complete steering wheel from hub to rim. Built to factory tolerances and designed to fit your Toyota column the same way the original does — because it replaces it entirely.
🛡
Airbag, horn and all controls retainedYour factory airbag transfers directly using the original connectors — not modified, not disabled. Horn works. Cruise control works. All illuminated steering wheel buttons — media, dash, and call controls — retain full function if your vehicle has them from factory.
✋
Thicker grip — hand-stitched leather flat-bottomNoticeably thicker than the factory rim — fills the hand properly on long drives. Hand-stitched premium leather that improves with use. Flat-bottom design gives more leg clearance getting in and out, and gives the cab a more purposeful, modern feel.
🔌
Plug and play — 30 to 45 minutes in the shedNo cutting, no coding, no auto sparky. Bolts directly onto your factory steering column. Every connector plugs straight into your existing harness. Basic mechanical experience is all you need.
🇦🇺
No SRS warning lightsThe plug-and-play loom is designed to prevent airbag or SRS warning lights from triggering. Your dealership service schedule stays unaffected.

Common questions

Will all my steering wheel buttons still work?

Yes — all factory steering wheel functions carry over. Volume, skip, call, cruise control and all illuminated controls work exactly as before. The Black Bandit uses your factory connectors throughout.

Will my airbag still work?

Yes — your factory airbag transfers directly using the original connectors. Not modified or disabled in any way.

Will it trigger any warning lights?

No — the plug-and-play loom is designed to prevent SRS or airbag warning lights. Your dealership service schedule is unaffected.

My Toyota doesn't have steering wheel controls — can I add them?

Yes — all 2009+ Toyota vehicles can add steering wheel controls using the kit option. Your head unit must support steering wheel control input. Message us with your vehicle and head unit and we'll confirm before you order.

How does it feel compared to factory?

The grip is noticeably thicker than factory — fills the hand properly. Most buyers prefer it immediately, especially on longer drives. The flat-bottom also gives more leg clearance getting in and out of the cab.
