That discontinued air bag sub harness help
Soooo it's been a while since I"ve posted but I thought I"d lend a helping hand for all those that are trying to put an is300 wheel or any other factory wheel that requires sub harness 09082-00760.
There's a lot of threads that have people posting that it's discontinued so I'm posting this on it's own thread for all the people to see instead of posting in each individual thread and bumping all of them.
Long story:
I recently was given a free is300 steering wheel w/ air bag and went to go buy the airbag harness. Turns out if you give the part number (09082-00760) the toyota dealership will tell you that it's an invalid part number, are you sure that's the right number, and blah blah blah
So I did a lot of forum searching and it turns out the part has been discontinued through the dealerships parts department and that's where all the information ran cold other than get lucky on ebay or forums.
As it turns out the part is still listed on Toyota's service solution, special solution tools. and you should be able to order it from them over the phone. I'm not sure if this just them running through the stock they have left, OR since the part is made by bosch it's a part that could still be made in the future but just limiting production of the item.
I actually ordered mine online from a site that's basically a third party dealer (vendor) for the toyota special service tools and got it within a week. When I got it the receipt included was actually a Bosch form that listed the company I bought from as a third party.
My best guess is Bosch has them sitting in a warehouse, toyota special service calls in an order and it gets sent from Bosch.
Short Story
Discontinued at toyota, part number no longer reads in system.
Available through Toyota special service tools (call them) or a third party vendor that deals with them.
Parts are made by Bosch and probably sitting in their warehouse 'till toyota special service calls in an order.
Hope that helps all in their search for the sub harness air bag connector.

^ The SST outfit that 3L4jzz31 is most likely referring to is a different place. Their per unit price is much lower than handsontools.com's, but the shipping price makes it close in the end. I found it myself through a very indirect method, backtracking through some old forum posts elsewhere. I never did find it in google searches, for some reason. Their site maybe is set up to not be spidered?

I bought mine from handsontools for a bit less than you did LoveSCs but close enough. I decided to leave that part out as they are not a sponsor of the site and didn't want a mod to get disgruntled of advertising a non-sponsor site.
Handsontools is basically just the middle man that calls SST who then calls a bosch warehouse that actually ships the item.

It's $7 + shipping from Australia (1 day) or japan (5 day) which either way is gonna be air (so not cheap). So then I get the part for $7 w/ $15-30 shipping + any custom fees, in the end it'll be different by a few dollars

I did a full write up on steering wheel stuff about a year ago when I did mine. Lists the number to call and everything. End up in the 25-30 dollar range but it's available at least.

up dating this post OTC tools will NOT provide this part if your not outside the UNITED STATES!
ive called today for extra harnesses & they said that toyota restricted this part for sale to US customers!
" something about a safety issue / toyota changed their restrictions "
FYI.
