sorry for another post about this topic.. I got part numbers from Benny -- Thanks! I called the dealer and they said it can't be done because there is no kit for the 2022. Has anyone successfully upgraded their manual folding mirrors to power folding? They also said I couldn't swap out the steering wheel for one with audio controls. ?? Is that true? TIA

Well, not knowing the answer, here is my best guess based on how many manufacturing processes save money: by minimizing complications and different parts.

For example, I bet they used the same wiring harness, but perhaps the wiring to the mirror for the motor is missing. I would guess it’s just an extension to a larger main harness. Good luck.

I will tell you what i recall from discussions here on the Ramforum & YouTube ( YouTube is your friend )

First of all, it can be done
Who ever you asked at the dealership about it, is simply uninformed

If you look at 3 tradesman trucks, all Gen 4 Tradesman models, 1/2 , 3/4 , 1 ton, all being Crew Cabs
You would notice that the cabs are identical, except for the mirrors.

If you remove a inner door panel, i would start with the passenger side, just to get a feel for it
As you remove the door panel, be very gentle on the Door Locking Rod, it will bend if you are rough with it

Please buy a Trim tool or a set, you can buy them at Harbor Freight, Tractor Supply, Walmart, any auto parts store, the guy in the video using a screwdriver ruins the plastic & irritates me.

The screws around the door panel have a little washer type thing behind it, use a plastic paint knife to get them out & do NOT drop them in the grass, or else


Because i have not seen your setup
You may need to buy 2 door modules, those are the ones that were hidden by the door panel
You may also need to buy the drivers door Master Switch with the Fold Button

I do not recall whether anything has to be programmed to work, like the Power Fold function

When going to TOW Mirrors
You may want to think about the OEM Tow Mirror Braces

Curios if anyone has done this upgrade and got to work? I too was told by a Dodge parts service person that it can't be done until there is a kit. He said they tried to do one and couldn't get it to work. They ended up ordering a vehicle for the person with the mirrors installed.
