Default Has Anyone...

Has anyone replaced their steering wheel with one that has all the controls and everything on it?

I know some have added radio controls to their existing wheel but I don't know of anyone swapping out the entire wheel. Should not be that hard and the controls are probably plug and play. Might have to very the dealer to turn them on with a starscan tool.

Im not sure if the Radio ones are plug-in play, I now the Cruise Control Are a simple plug in + Starscan for 06+, the 05s need the servos and such.
My 05 doesnt have any cut-outs or knock outs for the Radio controls. Unless u have to cut them.

they might be part of the wheel then, my works Caravan has them, and them seem to be part of the backside on the wheel. But I havnt drove/used a Dak that has Radio controls, so they could be different.

yes, they are on the back of the wheel and I though there were little covers over the holes that could just be pulled out. Maybe I'm thinking of the cruise controls but I coulda sworn someone on here installed remote buttons for the radio and it was plug and play.
