Wondering if anyone else is having intermittent issues with the left side audio controls on the steering wheel? I believe the center button is to jump favorites and the up down is to scroll through each station. Sometimes they do nothing at all. Any input would be appreciated, the manual is vague. Thanks

When I had my first radio upgrade about midyear my steering wheel radio controls have not worked consistently. The left side controls will skip stations on SiriusXm where unfortunately I have to manually adjust the dial. I haven't reported this issue to FCA yet because I am due for my first maintenance and will address it at that time. Plus one of my harmon/kardon speakers on the front passenger side was having a static meltdown out of nowhere. But has not reoccured the last couple of days?

Finally figured out the fix for my left side of the steering wheels controls not working. I had to unpair my phone and delete it . The held in the volume knob for ten seconds until it rebooted . Put my phone back in and it works ow. So maybe try a reboot .

There was a TSB for some years that involved pulling the airbag, inspecting the connection, and spraying contact cleaner on the connection. If that does not work I try factory resetting.

Just wait until you start changing stations sometimes from the RH audio controls.

I have a Ram 2016 2500 and the left side menu buttons on steering wheel quit working. I can't access the menu and the horn doesn't work but everything else seems fine. Took it to the dealer and they want just under $1k to fix. You all have any suggestions?
