The radio controls are plug and play with the steering wheel swap. Just swap wheels and you are done, nothing to do or plug to find.
My wheel isn't in bad shape so I didnt want to change it... just add the control switch... that's why I was interested in the plugs and harness...

Gotcha. I swapped my wheel out because the rubber was separating from the metal ring inside, evidently the Trooper than had my truck "death gripped" the steering wheel. I went with an OEM leather wheel, well worth it IMO.

Got almost everything in to really complete my new radio install, the only thing I am lacking is the bottom dash tray with the USB plug and power plug. Got the USB harness for the OEM plug, USB cover, the parking brake/brake pedal sensor bypass for the head unit, and a wood grain trim bezel.

Patience is key for finding the right prices. I've been debating on ordering a wood grain bezel for months now, since I swapped the horizontal dash trim to wood grain last year. They are typically $50-60 in good shape but used, and you can find some around $75 or so plus shipping, new. I picked up one for $30 shipped, it is in perfect shape. Pretty stoked.parts.jpg

Hopefully you have better luck with the PAC setup. I did not and went with a maestro setup after returning the PAC.

So I'm done with this for now. Ran my phone mic in the port I created for the USB in the lower dash pocket, until I feel like running it into the overhead garage door opener panel.

But got my OEM USB hooked up, wired in the parking brake bypass, and put in my wood grain bezel. I'll clean the truck out Saturday and wipe it all down for a better pic inside. I'm pretty happy though.

For when I don't have my phone hooked up, I bought a small USB drive for my music, so it's less likely to get bumped or catch on something.
