New airbag new wheel?
 
Is there any other model Subaru that has a steering wheel that fits into an SVX?


Like how the WRX Momo fits into the 99-01 Impreza.

Links to any successful swaps...

There are at least 5-6 threads discussing this. Search 'em up.

Quick answer
 
Quick answer - all legacy, imprezas (including WRX) and SVX steering wheels are interchangeable - from a splined shaft point of view. Small differences in wheels may require some slight modifications to the donor steering wheel.

what about the airbag?? In the other threads nobody is being able to tell if they use the same voltage or signal or what....

Airbag
 
The airbag is a completely different animal - I don't know of anyone that got the donor airbags wired into the SVX circuit.
My WRX steering wheel came without a bag altogether so I never tried to hook it up. My problem was trying to get the airbag light to go out by simuating the presence of the airbad with a resistor. I never did get the light to go out, so I removed the light. My wife is only 5'4 and sits so close to the bag that if it were there and would go off, it could do serious damage. I believe in belts and my family won't drive without them , but the airbag is supplemental to the belts and IMHO can do my wife more damage than good. Consider that the SVX airbags were designed at a time when the standard was stopping a 200 pound, 6' man, so they're not ideal for shorter and lighter humans.
