Question Steering Wheel Radio Controls?

Searched around a bit, but couldn't really find anything... But anyways, I installed the cruise control module into my '02 Dakota SXT and just finished putting in a single dim, 7" touch screen deck, but my question is, has anyone successfully installed a steering wheel with radio and cruise control buttons?

The same thing I would find in my '10 Tacoma stock. Anyone got some insight or ideas?

Thanks!

I have never seen a Dakota with steering wheel radio controls. I don't think it is/was available. You can check with the parts guys at the Dodge dealer to be sure.

Steering wheel controls are listed in the 2000 wiring diagram.

You had to have the RAZ radio, AM/FM/CD/Cassette with a 3 band equalizer.

That's probably why you don't see many out there.

It's the same in 2001.

I am corrected, did not know it was available on a Dakota. I did check and found these steering wheel control adapters for an 02 Dakota on the Crutchfield website, no idea if they will work for you though.

Sorry about posting wrong info. I just have never seen a Dakota with steering wheel radio controls, and I don't really remember anyone here posting about it either, but maybe some have and I never saw that, either.

All Data shows it listed for '99 also.
With am/fm/cd-eq also.
(I've never seen it either).
