Thanks for showing the actual process and the struggles you encountered. I hate videos that say, “first, you have to remove the transmission” and then they cut immediately to,”okay, now that it’s out, you have to remove the engine…”.
I used your video to upgrade my steering wheel. I also installed some Laramie heated and cooled seats which has the control module (under the drivers seat) that controls the heated wheel. Only difference, I had to use alphaobd to tell the bcm to allow the seats and steering wheel to function! Needless to say to anyone else that is doing this mod, if it doesn’t turn on right away it still can be done!!!
Adam, I just did the heated wheel upgrade to my 17 Ram Express. Replaced the wheel, clock spring and the switch panel. For now I just have the manual switch. Everything is connected but heat function on the wheel doesn’t work. Checked the fuse box and the required fuse is there and appears to be a good fuse. Do I need the dealer to flash the computer?
@@chrisrash6479 personally, I would purchase the alpha obd program and the obd link tool and turn it on yourself. I’m certain a dealer can do it but they are hit and miss on what they are willing to do. So the answer is “yes” have a dealer program it or program it yourself.
@Adam Cliff, thank you! Do you know if there’s anything else I need to make the heated steering wheel work since I’m using only the manual switch for now?
Can you please help as i am also going to Install those seats in tradesman edition. Please tell is there is any kind of wiring pre installed in this trucks or do i have to run all new wires.
I have a 2013 Ram 1500 sport, i have the leather seats with the ventilated center on the seats, but my truck doesnt have the heated seats, do i just need to replace the center control like u did? Or will i need wiring and all that?
Hi Thanks for the video I’m on the process of upgrading my 2015 ram LST I already did the 8.4 radio bezel, canter console, I like these changes so I continue with the heat steering wheel but I have one cable extra on the steaming wheel now you teach me what to do next My question is if I can install heated seats on my LST I can’t find enough information about I only have like 5 wires on The harness
Hey man, great video! So, I have a 2017 big horn and its equipped with heated seats but I don’t have the switches to use them. Can I add the switch’s to my existing control center or do I need to replace that with switches that are already built in? I hope this makes sense.
Gotta replace with one that already has the switches from what I recall. Because that whole panel has one connector in the back and it’s not where each button has its own connector if that makes sense. I’m pretty sure you can find em cheap on ebay or parts yards around you! Everything was plug and play for me, no programming was needed as well
Lololol 😂. I honestly don’t see why not, especially if it’s a manually adjustable mechanism. But if it’s motorized, that might be a different ball game.
Possibly. As long as you bring over all the right parts. I believe that would be the steering wheel, clockspring and the actual buttons/module if i can recall.
@@MJAltairy I think you’re the only guy that knows how to do that’ I tried to ask all the car custom shops and nothing bro smh even the ram dealer specialists and said no but they don’t wana deal with it
@@MJAltairy if I get the parts can you do it for me I’d pay you whatever you charge me brother? You have a number of anything where I can reach you personally ?
Very good video,,,Nice to see a young man do a video without cursing
Thank you!
Me too

hey I'm trying to replace my steering wheel with a heated one I have the steering wheel and alfa odd can it work without me replace the clock spring
Can you please help as i am also going to Install those seats in tradesman edition. Please tell is there is any kind of wiring pre installed in this trucks or do i have to run all new wires.
Great information! Thank You!
Lisle makes a tool for the air bag removal.
Also can rent a steering wheel puller, i rented mine at O'Reilly
I have a 2013 Ram 1500 sport, i have the leather seats with the ventilated center on the seats, but my truck doesnt have the heated seats, do i just need to replace the center control like u did? Or will i need wiring and all that?
Do you by chance know the part number for the clock spring needed for the heated steering wheel?
Hi
Thanks for the video I’m on the process of upgrading my 2015 ram LST
I already did the 8.4 radio bezel, canter console, I like these changes so I continue with the heat steering wheel but I have one cable extra on the steaming wheel now you teach me what to do next
My question is if I can install heated seats on my LST I can’t find enough information about I only have like 5 wires on The harness
If I buy the heated leather seats for the ram would the heated seats work
Can you do a video on replacing the cruise control switches
Hey man, great video! So, I have a 2017 big horn and its equipped with heated seats but I don’t have the switches to use them. Can I add the switch’s to my existing control center or do I need to replace that with switches that are already built in? I hope this makes sense.

@@MJAltairy That’s what I was thinkin. Thanks again for the video and for getting back to me!
@@brianmcglew2117 definitely!
Is it possible to exchange steering wheels and parts for one that was telescoping? My Ram does not have telescoping and I have T Rex arms.
Lololol 😂. I honestly don’t see why not, especially if it’s a manually adjustable mechanism. But if it’s motorized, that might be a different ball game.
Do you have a heated seat install video?
Any chance you would want to donate the cluster and radio from you do at truck?
Are you looking for the 8” evac cluster ?
Did u have to unhook the battery to remove the airbag
Yes it is highly recommended!
What’s your wheel and rim setup on your truck
Rome Wild they’re 18x10 moto metals wrapped in a 35x12.5x18 Thunderer MT tire.
@@MJAltairy do you have the 3:21 gears? If so, how does it handle the 35s?
@@RickySlatton i’m not sure to be honest but i do know it has the factory limited slip differential.
Where is your video on doing the seats?
I did the seats prior to doing UA-cam vids. The process however is very straightforward. Just a whole bunch of 14mm bolts if i can recall.
Was the harness connection for the heated seats already in place?
@@markbaguley4560 yes they were. The whole process for the heated seats was plug and play.
So you can switch a heated steering wheel from a fully loaded 2013 ram to a another 2013 ram that doesn’t have the heated steering originally?
Possibly. As long as you bring over all the right parts. I believe that would be the steering wheel, clockspring and the actual buttons/module if i can recall.
@@MJAltairy I think you’re the only guy that knows how to do that’ I tried to ask all the car custom shops and nothing bro smh even the ram dealer specialists and said no but they don’t wana deal with it

@@MJAltairy where are you located?
@@MJAltairy what clock spring is it exactly ? For
My ram 2013?
Do you wanna sell your old clockspring ?
Did you flash the code to activate the switch
As far as the heated steering wheel switch? Nope, just plug and play.
Would you sell me the driver door panel I need it for my truck haha
Hit me up on IG @mjaltairy
I understand why you have no viewers. The shaky camera is not good and there is no flow to the video
Appreciate the feedback. This was earlier in the start of my channel so it wasn’t perfect.
