Shogun506 Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Here's my walkthrough on swapping a 2011 STI wheel into your 05-07 Legacy or Outback. In my opinion it makes the interior look new again. Renew your leather, get some steering wheel audio controls, or just get the nice red-stitch look without spending $600 on a DAMD wheel. Credit to MasAyinde for the cruise control wiring. If you're going from an 05-07 you need an airbag for the new wheel (or at the minimum an airbag cover without the igniter).

battelready Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Great video dude. I didnt realize how easy wiring the cruise was. I was basing it off another install where the guy was doing alot of soldering. Now i have a damd wheel with no cruise because of my paddle retrofit. http://i.imgur.com/vSnycf4.jpg I bought an auto be more involved in my uninvolvedness . 200k+ Club If you can't blind them with brilliance, baffle them with bullshit.

GTEASER Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Nice job. I did the same in my 2009 FXT. And put the STi airbag on also because I got it for $40 and the horn switch on the stock airbag wasn't working well, so I figured, why not, gotta have a properly function horn to call out the idiots. http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160701/046d289e3c2d93e4befbbb344812da0e.jpg GTEASER's 2012 Legacy GT - Sold GTEASER's 2009 XTeaser - Sold GTEASER's 1992 Legacy SS - Sold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dre617 Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 Great Video, I need some clarification on something. You got the 2011 STI Steering Wheel with the 08/09 Legacy airbag? I might look into doing this, I like the stock steering wheel but its slowly pulling itself apart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shogun506 Posted July 6, 2016 Author Share Posted July 6, 2016 I got an airbag without the igniter from a newer Impreza. It came cheap on a worn steering wheel so I just took it off and mounted it on the STI wheel. The airbags from the later model legacy, wrx, impreza, forester are all the same.

Dre617 Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 ok, I will look into pricing this stuff, i like the Damd wheels but that price kills me, going to look over in Nasioc and see if I can find a STI Part Out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shogun506 Posted July 7, 2016 Author Share Posted July 7, 2016 I got my wheel off of ebay for $100 shipped. They're out there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
javishm Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 So I followed the instructions Cruise seems to work but I'll head out for a drive tomorrow and see how that goes. My car actually never had any wiring for the audio or illumination on the steering wheel as it's a Forester Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmnc Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 I can see in the vid of the lines lined up but could you more accurately tell me which color lines up with which color? i.e. RED(STi) to Black(old) or which port to plug the wires into the connector? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
