Was told 4th gen steering wouldnt fit a 2nd gen was running a 3rd gen on my 2nd gen for a while until i found a deal on a 4th gen and gave it a shot


Final fit

 

Do all the steering wheel controls work?

 

You can get them to work I did it on a buddies 3rd gen.

 

the horn works and the cruise control just messed around with the wires around a little not all the buttons work as my 2nd gen only came with cruise

 

If you use an afternoon head unit and a PAC controller they will all work

 

how do u do that im runnin a 1400nex pioneer double din as i did the full 4th gen dash

 

How hard was the dash to install? Have any pics? If the headunit is capable of steering wheel controls (most after 2006 are) then you would buy a PAC Audio controller for a 99 or newer Ram. The directions are wrong though I have a write up (I added a 3rd gen wheel to one truck, factory 01 wheel to another, and a 4th gen one to a buddies)

 

I think Pioneer suggests

for linking up steering wheel controls.
