The airbag is an 01+ gs/IS/rx/es and the steering wheel is a 00 rx.

?! do you mean the other way? 01+ airbags are all dual stage except the rx. if you have 01+ airbag from other cars i am not sure how you connect the airbag?

Thumbs up well...

It was from a GS... but I was told would fit others. Didn't really care as long as it fit my 98 GS.. So you may be right, in that it came form an RX and not a GS as claimed.. It was new, single stage and it fits. So I am good to go know what I mean??

FYI... I have heard that there is an "adapter" for that.. But I could not recall where I read it. probably here.. Check around in the threads.. You might get lucky..

so you have that "adapter" or what? the connector for the single and dual stage airbag are very different, i don't even know how you can connect them to make them work?
