adding steering wheel controls

[rick5295]

i was looking into adding the steering wheel controls to my truck but wasnt sure if i could because my truck dont have some of the features on the steering wheel.

my truck doesnt have onstar or xm or any of the bottom controls' features the radio i have is

if i bought the wheel how would i go about hooking it up and what would happen with the bottom buttons

[Chris]

I did this. I had none of it. Change wheel and clock spring. Go to dealer and have it programmed. The lower buttons will work after programming

[rick5295]

what are the lower buttons for?

[Chris]

Settings, fuel mileage, advanced odometer features

Like said above once you got the parts its an easy reprogram fr the dealer

[rick5295]

since i dont have these features when i get it reprogramed i will have access to these features? and what clock spring do i need?

[Chris]

Yes. Mine did not have those features. Mine works as if it was factory installed. Clockspring is part number 26101829
