bespoke steering controls

So I was wondering if anybody tried this yet?

Scion tc 2012 has a bespoke radio with steering wheel controls, has anyone thought about ripping a tc steering wheel apart and checking out if we can wire it to our cars?

Could be a cool project but they specifically didn't give it to the FR-S so we could have 100% #becauseracecar steering support.

Went to the dealer just now, parts guy told me that the steering wheel is wire to the whole car or some crap, but I'm trying to locate a wrecked tc that I can experiment with

Do-able but a real pain in the ass .. Worked on a friends car and it took us around 40 hours to get it done .. And it wasn't worth it , system glitched lots and he hated it after

Sorta kinda related, but does anyone know if any of the wireless Pioneer remotes work on the Bespoke? I find a remote eaiser when driving.

Thanks,

Jacob
