Call Rancho Lexus Recycling as they have a database of what parts fit different model years http://www.rancholexusrecycling.com/

Steering wheel swap is tip of the iceberg. Shift ****, ashtray, foot pedal. There is an over all theme.

I previously had a 2010 350 and purchased a '13 last year, and I enjoy the visual upgrades the cabin has to offer between the two. Like Salim said, there are several changes (between pre and post refresh) and you may find yourself wanting to change more. I don't know the function of the button in the lower left hand corner of your '11 wheel (mine didn't have it), but if you went looking for a '13+ wheel, you'd want to make sure it had the same abilities.

The wiring harness plugs are likely different as the features appear to be different.

sounds good
can u give me more infos about cables, must be repined or maybe plug&play
this button on the left side is for side camera, i can activate it, if i drive under 10mph or in parking position. some 2013 modells has the same function with this button, i think, i must buy complette steering wheel with this button or just buy new from lexus just this left side buttons with this function.

I know this is an old thread but I was curious if anyone ever ending up trying to switch steering wheels. It looks like there are wheels with the same buttons just not sure if the plugs are the same.
