Another thread from TW. This looks like one of my future projects:

As with all other X-Runners of my era, I have the left side steering wheel controls, but I don't have the right side controls.

I'm still running the original factory head unit, but I'll eventually upgrade to a unit that has both Apple Car Play and Bluetooth. It would be nice to have functional Bluetooth controls on my steering wheel!

Thoughts?

I love this. I've having issue with getting my steering wheel controls to work with my new Alpine head unit. If I get it worked out, I'm very interested in adding these. Plug and play I assume?

Pretty sure it's full plug & play since it's all Toyota parts. Now with that being said, you will probably still need to purchase the aftermarket module with the aftermarket radio to make the steering wheel controls work. You can find those on Crutchfield.

When I do this, will probably replace the clock spring at the same time, since you have to pull the steering wheel to do the install.
