The radio itself is PNP, but to use the voice recognition or Bluetooth phone you need to add a microphone. For you to go OEM you will need to add the harness and replace your rearview mirror since that is where the mikes are, its easier than it sounds. The harness is 25.00 and the mirrors can be found on Ebay or boneyards for about 75.00, make sure the
mirror comes with the two piece plastic trim covers. I do not have those part numbers handy.

In addition you may want to add the upgraded Evic buttons with the voice recognition and phone buttons, this replaces your current Evic swith and has the two additional buttons.

Here is the EVIC switch
SWITCH | Genuine Mopar | 56054449AA
1- 56054449AA

While you at it you could also add the steering wheel audio control switches
Here are the steering wheel control parts
Ram 1500 Steering Wheel Audio Control Upgrade (Part No: RAMAUDWHLKIT)

1 - 56046099AD Left Switch
1 - 56046098AD Right Switch
1 - 68163713AC Wiring Harness (Replaces part 68163713AB)
1 - 1YH75DX9AC Black Bezel

Here is the mirror and microphone you need but I would not buy it here way overpriced.

The above used to offer an aftermarket solution, but now they are just selling the OEM parts at a very high price.


As far as the Radio buttons go most guys just replace the whole steering wheel from seats and such on EBAY. For the
virtually the same price as buying the kit and EVIC switch you can get a like new leather steering wheel with all that all ready
in it for 169.00. Less work, abuot same money, much nicer end game + no brainer.

GL Im sure someone will chime in with the individual harness, mirror and cover part numbers. If not reach out to RLK he recently
did exactly what you are doing.
