OKIE DOKIE-- Got home from work and decided I had the time to replace my JVC in-dash DVD unit that died. Figured while I was at it, I'd remove my steering wheel (gets in the way anyhow) and try doing a swap with a wheel from an '09 Expy XLT. So, the verdict is---
MAYBE it can be done. The hookups are totally different where the harnesses for the controls and such go into the steering wheel mounting base. The airbag connections are the same, but nothing else is. So, I COULD do it, but I would have no horn, cruise, temp, or audio controls. Now, if someone REALLY HAS to do this, I'm sure you could if you had the patience to re-wire the connectors. Doesn't look like an easy task to me.
So, one of those "Can I....?" questions answered for me. All it cost me was $30 bucks for the wheel (it's in pretty ratty shape. The guy was surprised I even wanted it) and 30 minutes of my time. But, now I KNOW it's not worth doing. I'll just buy a new wheel.
