Replacing my steering wheel for my 2021 Ram 1500 Classic SLT

Honestly I’m not too sure. It is the 8.4in wireless CarPlay radio. But on infotainment when I look for audio buttons to add to my wheel, it says “not compatible with retrofit Uconnect5 UBD radio”. I’m also out $500 between the wheel and clock spring. Pretty upset with myself at the moment lol.

You can post them for sale in the classified section here if the seller won't accept returns.

Now that your here, you can DIY the parts acquisition too and not pay the markup of resellers like infotainment.

I'm not saying it's not possible, but you'd be better off trying a Ram specific radio for radio upgrades. I too am a an avid modder and currently working on a project to add 12.1" screens from 2019+ 5th gen trucks to 2013+ classics...it's going very well.

Holy smokes! That’s insane! I thought the radio upgrade I was getting was OEM. I’ll put a picture down below.

That radio pictured is OEM but they include their custom Volume Control in that kit. Personally, I prefer Uconnect 4C over the newer UConnect 5 OS (they seem snappier and more intuitively laid out). Your best bet would be to get a UAS or UAQ 8.4" radio for the upgrade to stay as factory as possible.

Those were a little out of my price range when I was looking. It was cheaper to get the Uconnect 5, probably because of the non-OEM bezel.

Also, I don't think I have access to the classified threads due to being new to the forum.

Only because you're looking at Infotainments prices! You can get these parts yourself for much less. My UAX setup is less than $1000, similar prices can be had with 8.4" UAS/UAQ radios.

You'll get there...it's a buffer in place to keep scammers out.

Yeah that’s what I figured. The parts should sell relatively quick on here. The wheel is basically new. Clock spring I believe it new as well.
