Default 2011 steering wheel on 2010?

I am not a huge fan of the new interior but I love the steering wheel. Iv been driving an Acura TL and am about to pull the trigger on an unlimited but may miss all my buttons on the wheel. I think its dangerous enough driving a manual but riving a manual and having to touch the stereo I dont know seems risky haha. just wondering If I was hypothetically able to find a 2011 steering wheel could I hook it up to a 2010?

For what you are asking, it would be a big pain in the ass and not worth the $$$.$$, and then to get it to work right is another story! There are some who have a 2011 who are already having problems with the audio controls on the steering wheel. Doing this swap I'm thinking wouldn't work and wouldn't be a good idea.

thanks for the intelligent response. I guess I would be better off going aftermarket or custom fab has anyone done this?

Picked up my 2011 Rubi last week with the 430N. Have had no problems so far... but am keeping an eye out. The voice control of my iPod is awesome!
