@brental1 --- I'm re-writing a how-to for the seats, I'm at the station for my 24 hr shift -- it will be posted once it's ready... as far as the heated wheel, you'll need a new clock spring and the wheel, haven't done mine yet but it is on my list..

Yes.. to Fuse box and to the Can junction block.... unless your body wire harness already has them presently...
If I remember correctly, you'll need 3 or 4 power wires and a pair of twisted wire for the data...

@tabber02 ... yes and no, I did have my shop drop in the heat pads, module, and seat wiring. I just got to remove the center console to change the harness and add the rear buttons to the end cap. Also have to create a harness that comes from the rear module to the fuse box and as well as the...
I've looked everywhere for the heated seat how-to write, can't find it anywhere... I will get another one together, it's just going to take a little..
@ ...Ram76 -- yes, the drivers seat YP (yellow plug) is wired to the pass seat YP, then wiring goes from the pass seat YP goes back to the fuse...
here is my install..

Not sure it's as simple as cutting and splicing... that black box attached to the under side of the pass seat is the heated seat/wheel module... it is tied into the BCM thru the can-system. I can post what each plug does if that helps ya...

I haven't actually dug into my wheel but the module that is used for heated seats is also used for the wheel... when doing the wiring for the seats, i would also add the wiring from the module to column.. you'll need a new wheel with heat, pins and plug, and then programming...

I think I did a write-up on adding Auto Climate as well as another for adding the Heated Seats... Let me see what I can dig up.. search my sig for my posts, you should find something useful.. I will also search my server once I get back home...
FYI -- I would purchase the oem seat pads,backs...
OEM heated seats/wheel can be installed... don't think you'll find any dealer that will be willing to take on the task. You need the heat module, pads for front seats, new radio shroud that includes the seat/wheel buttons, wiring/connectors and programming... Got mine done except for the wheel...
@ UJim... not sure if you tried this way or not... with the radio pulled, slide the tube from the left to the right and have the top glove opened and with your other hand guide the tube into position... when it's in place there is a stop far right and it won't go any further... if I remember the...

I added OEM heated seats to my ride... they were NOT pre-wired from factory... Now I am not saying yours isn't but mine wasn't, so before digging in check under both seats and locate the large yellow plugs... find the part number tags and do your research. Remember you also need the heat module...
I know you guys are all checking the obvious but don't overlook the handle caps... make sure the small magnets are present... I have seen the proper part number but had them missing...

@ buckeye2019 ... if you got the 8.4 w/out NAV, the Aux switches may not populate on the radio. I added the 3 setting changes thru Alfa to a customers Ram 2 days ago and no changes as of this a.m. Still testing, but it doesn't look hopeful for the non nav. It definitely would make a great...
Done and works--- it's not plug and play, but it's doo-able...
