Have a fully loaded 1500 except a heated steering wheel. Has all other options. Can a heated wheel be installed as plug and play or are there other things that would need to be done. ECU download to activate? Air bag clock spring work? 

Thanks,

David

Check out this thread:

 

Heated steering can be added fairly easily. You'll need to source a heated wheel and a new clock spring, both of which are pretty easy to swap out. The issue is whether or not you have an active wiring harness under the steering column that is active or not to run heat to the clock spring/wheel. It seems like it's hit-or-miss on whether or not the connector is active or not.  If it is, then you've got an easy install. If it's not, it is still a pretty easy install but you'll have an extra step of adding a small wiring harness that is available via @pgamboa

 

Your airbag will remain functional (you'll swap it to the new heated wheel), and there is no programming necessary. Like I said above though, you do need a different clock spring though, along with the wheel.
