The reason why toyota stopped putting the steering wheel shifters on the 430 is that driver's often did not use them and found them as an eye sore, so they removed them for the more "luxerious feel".

4. E-Shift (For GS300)
General
The GS300 has adopted the E-Shift system, which enables the driver to shift the ranges by operating
the transmission shift switches that are located on the steering wheel.
Provided that the shift lever is engaged in the M position, the driver can shift the ranges be operating
the transmission shift switches that are located on the steering wheel.
The maximum gear speed is limited in each of the ranges, permitting the gears to up-shift and down-shift
automatically within the respective allowable range.
Accordingly, the driver can shift the ranges without releasing the hands off the steering wheel, thus reducing
the time involved in shifting.
This feature, combined with the high-response shift control, further reduces the shifting time.
Construction
The transmission shift switches for down-shift are located on the top side of the steering wheel and the
transmission shift switches for up-shift are located on the back side of the steering wheel.

Back Side Shift Pattern

Shift Program
The driver selects the M position by engaging the shift lever. At that time, the M mode indicator and
gear position indicator illuminates in the combination meter.
When abnormality has occurred in this system and if you shift lever to M position, M mode indicator
flashes and informs the driver. However, usual driving is possible with other shift positions.
The usable gears are shown in the chart below.

I'm sorry, but do you have tiptronic and radio controls on your steering wheel? I thought that you could not have both....
