Default Steering wheel controls

I have a 2012 express 1500 crew with no steering wheel controls for stereo. Is there a way to buy them and hook them up?

One more question. My 2012 express did not come with the optional dash that gives u all the info. I only have one led line of info I have to toggle through. Can I buy a used electronic information control from say a Laramie and have it work in my express ?

Default added evic cluster and works great

I finally added my new evic cluster today. It plugged right in and everything works great (even the horn). No flash needed so far. Only problem I have now not enough buttons on steering wheel to control the electronic information. I can scroll up and down, however I do not have the "enter" button which is an arrow pointing to the left. I ordered the upgraded button group from Dodge Dealer today for about $50. I am hoping it is a simple plug in and play. I will let you know.
I gotta say I am amazed at how easy this was. The dash looks SO much better than the downgraded version with only the one line you scroll through.
I also had Sony aftermarket radio installed and I put in the upper glove box. All works and looks great.

I searched eBay for speedometer and EVIC. Three came up and I bought one for 180
