Default JDM/bB Steering Wheel

I have an aquaintance who exports parts to the US,who can get me practically any bB part I want. The first on my list is ditching the Scion steering wheel. I just don't like the aesthetics, plus I'd love a leather wheel. So naturally I look at the bB wheel: Leather, no goofy Scion emblem, less chunky...sweet.

My question: Will the airbag work with the Scion? I know these cars are practically the same, so I'm thinking it will be a plug/play affair with no issues. For those that say "no it won't work", do you have any proof/documentation that this will not work?

Thanks

So I am going to assume practically any late model Toyota airbag and steering wheel will work on the xB? So far I'm keeping my eyes out for the Corolla/MR Spider (looks almost like the 3-spoke Nardi in the Miata) and the Camry/CelicaGT steering wheels.

It's from a 2002 to 2004 Camry SE. The SE model has those black-housed style headlights. The 2005 SE model is not the same as the former models. Check your local dealer for part number.
