Default Will a Solar steering wheel fit a 04 Corolla

I want a steering wheel with radio controls, I have a remote for my Aftermarket stereo but I would like them to be built into the wheel (I'm lazy). Does anyone have any ideas if it will fit? I Know 04 - 05 Solara has a steering wheel with radio controls?

Talking Re: Will a Solar steering wheel fit a 04 Corolla

In a word, No.
And even if it did, the wiring harness does not exist in the steering column, needed to make the buttons work, and even if IT did, the radio is not wired for remote operation.
So....you really have only one option here.
If you must have a steering wheel with buttons to control the radio, then you will have to buy a car that comes that way from the factory, or take it to those guys that produce the "Pimp My Ride" TV show, and tell them to completely re-engineer your Corolla.
(I think that might be wishful thinking.)
Ah well, it's always nice to dream of miracles isn't it?
Next time, I'm going to get a car that already has all the bells and whistles on it, instead of trying to do it myself.
It will probably be a lot cheaper, in the long run.

I was thinking the same thing for my 2006 Corolla using the 2006 Sienna Steering wheel with audio controls. I have to do more research on that. But now I think the answer is not possible for now.

The only remote(aftermarket) that I had was a Pioneer Infrared that hooked up with my High End Pioneer SuperTuner3(single DIN). I had that in my old Corolla. I had complete control of every aspect and feature.

The remote mounted to the inside of my steeing wheel. It was coool. It worked great. That system sounded Incredble. Blows away anything I had OEM. It was double amped.SUB and all.

What yu want to do would be cost prohibitive though.
