Post a review next time. I am curious about its quality.

RAM has the best heated steering wheel of any vehicle I've ever driven. My 2020 would sometimes get TOO hot, LOL

That’s a good looking wheel, but no heater is a deal breaker for me.
Hey guys,
I received the wheel 2 days ago and installed it yesterday.
And it looks awesome!!
Overall quality is amazing and install is a breeze once you get the airbag off (disconnect battery before attempting install). Also for all you guys in cold weather reigons you loose the steering wheel heating function - but from my research this is the case with all Carbon wheel options available at this time, to me its a non issue given that the coldest it ever gets here is like 60 ;p.
Also it will take a while to get used to the new steering especially being a flat bottom on a pickup - doesn't feel wrong just a bit weird as I'm used to this style on more sporty vehicles.

Looks good. Did you trade your original wheel in on that one, or did you keep It?
Any issues with codes due to no heater ?
Kept my OE wheel and no codes whatsoever

That looks awesome. How much was it and how was the install?
The wheel was about 1100$ with shipping & taxes.
Hardest part of the install was the removal of the steering wheel air bag, its not hard it just needs a particular technique. A fellow forum member posted a good way to do it - use a size 4 hex with a T-handle and while pushing the hex into the access hole pull the tool towards you so it catches the retaining spring (once you get the hang of it it gets super easy).
Disconnect the battery prior to starting work to avoid issues and also don't worry on reconnecting the battery if you loose all additional functions like backup camera they will return back automatically after some time.
Other than that its really not complicated - definitely not as hard as the 4th gen wheels

That's for sure! I love a heated steering wheel in the winter, and the truck's is so AGGRESSIVE I find myself turning it off after 10 minutes. I wish the seat heat was that strong!
