I just did mine yesterday, I found a complete steering wheel in great shape, so I just swapped the whole thing. Would never have happened if I hadn't come across this video. I absolutely love them. Thanks dude!!!!!
Awesome find! These parts are getting hard to get
So cool I can't wait to see them in person.
Nice video, really explained everything nicely. Going to be adding paddle shifters to my rt too here very soon.
Loved the video, very well done and informative. I will be ordering the parts so I can add paddle shifters to my 2013 Charger. The parts list makes it so easy, thank you.
Glad to help. Hope you can find them in stock. Might have to go to a salvage yard
@@dasllamas I priced it out and it is roughly $400 US to buy the pieces new not including shipping or taxes. I think I will look as you say for a donor wheel.
Great install video. Very well done!!! Fortunately I don’t need to do this but if I did this video is well done and a great resource for anyone wanting to do this. What a job but well worth it.
Thanks for the great video, I found it very helpful. I just finished installing mine yesterday. I used your video and the service manual to do it. That bolt on the steering wheel is no joke. My Dewalt impact driver could not get it off so I have to use a friend.
Everyone I have talked to needed a friend. I'm sure someone out there has done it alone but phew what a fight
Excellent video/tutorial Dave! 🙌🏻. I couldn’t wait to see you break the center bolt loose, lol. When I did mine I thought I snapped the steering column 🤣
I thought I was going to break my arm
Dude... THANK YOU!! Great vid yet again!
thank you!
Great video. Not wanting to install paddle shifter but do wanna take out the grey plastic parts on the steering wheel to plasti dip. & this gave me all the information i needed & for that i thank you my friend :)
Glad the video was helpful!
Awesome vid, super helpful. I’m lookin into doing the same thing to my 11 rt awd. Thanks!
Hardest part is finding all the pieces. Nobody makes them anymore
This is awsome I was going NA but now I'm thinking about procharging my new charger im searching for one now a charger
Great install
I have one more thing to add. I have a 2013 R/T Plus. Upon getting this salvage paddle wheel I decided to swap everything to my wheel. The salvage wheel is in great shape but my leather looks different.
There are two rubber nubs on the spokes of the wheels that are different between the paddle and non-paddle wheel. The nubs on the paddle wheel are larger and have slots for the barbed tabs on the paddle shifter modules. I ended up just using the salvaged wheel.
But I noted one can trim off the paddle module barbs because the mounting screws will pull it all together securely. Maybe some vehicles not having paddles will have the nubs anyway.
The video author had no issue.
Awesome video! I was researching this and definitely want to do this mod eventually. I have to get the tazer first so I can unlock the paddle shifter feature and then the paddle shifters themselves.
Find a friend with a tazer and see if they can turn them on for you
Ill get my own, this way I can deactivate it if I need to go back to the dealer for anything and they decide to flash the pcm.
Your video was awsome bro you explained it so well 🫡👍
Thank you
good evening. I love the change from the levers to the steering wheel. Will it be possible to make a change for a charger v6?
Yes you can 2012 to 2014 only in this body style
Awesome...did this mod today.
Actually found the parts? Impressive
Great Video!!! Very detailed I love videos like this! Awesome job man!
Thank you!
Nice camera work!
Thanks. Tried my best
I’d like to do this eventually with my ,13 Chrysler 300C. Thanks for a terrific video tutorial. Are you able to add these to a heated steering wheel?
So a friend and I are looking at how to turn the heated steering wheel in in the car. We have been able to do it but it is kind of involved. Until tazer makes it available it wont be easy to do without software and additional cables
And maybe I misunderstood the question but yes the process to add paddles to a wheel that is heated is the same process you just need a different harness not the one I gave the part number for.
Thanks for the video. My car already has the paddles, but I have been curious about how to remove the airbag, because I would like to do a custom emblem where the dodge logo is. I'm curious though, have you considered upgrading to the 2015 and up guage cluster? I did and it's pretty sweet. I forgot how the old one looked with the menus until I saw yours lol.
It is an upgrade I want to do. Still working on go fast mods at the moment
@@dasllamas Whenever your ready let me know, I can hook you up with the guage cluster. Its only the 140 mph one though. I upgraded to the 160 version shortly after doing the mod so I have it just laying around. But I'm not sure if you would want to use a 140 mph one in your car. It's the bezel that'll cost the most.
Very helpful video!
Can this done on a 2012 Durango citadel 5.7?
As long as the durango has it ss a factory option and you can turn it onwith a tazer or alpha obd
Great video brother
Thank you
Very informative video getting ready to install them on my car also. Just an FYI you don't need a tazer to enable the paddle shifters you can enable them using a program called alfaodb also much cheaper then the tazer.
Alphaobd is awesome. Didnt know about it till after this video. Must have if you do a cluster swap
Yes sir enabled mine through the alfaobd 😊😊
I was interested in buying a 2014 Charger police car can i do this same procedure? Very detailed and well out video
I have not personally done it. As far as I know you can. Only diffrence is the column shifter.
Will this work for Chrysler 300
cool video
good job man, where did you order all these parts?
A subscriber named Bruce sent them to me
“Didn’t hear a boom from the airbag” 🤣🤣🤣
Luckily!
dasllamas I really like the install video thanks so much! Do you have insta for her?
Great video. I’m working on doing this myself very soon. I found a used steering with with everything I need for $100. My question is do I absolutely need a tazer to program them to work?
You need the tazer to turn on the paddle shifters. If you are in Colorado I can do it for you
dasllamas thank you for your offer, unfortunately I am in California.
dasllamas
Do you need to keep the tazer plugged in to keep the paddles working?
@@alejandroflores8660 No
Hey brother, do you or any of your followers by chance know if this mod will work on the 2013 prusit package? Mine is a prusit and has a 5 speed transmission and column shifter. Thanks for any information you guys could provide.
I dont see why it wouldnt. It is all the same parts. Only difference would be the column shifter. I dont have first hand experience doing it on a pursuit though.
You think this would work with a 2015 Charger Pursuit? It has the 5 speed trans with the Colin shifter. Been hard to find any answer if it’ll work or not.
It has been asked before on the video. Might wanna read some of the comments and ask them if they were successful. I personally dont know
Is this possible on a 2011 charger ?
Is a new wiring harness required ? i have a chrysler 300 with heated steering wheel and I want to retain it but can give it up for pedal shifters. Thank You
You need to have the harness to connect the paddles
Just found and ordered a steering wheel with paddle shifters that came out of a 2013 chrysler 300c in a junkyard from eBay. I already have the tazer and am just going to swap steering wheels. Hopefully there will be no issues.
That works. Should be easy swap
@@dasllamas Hope so,Thanks.
I installed the steering wheel that came with the paddle shifters today successfully. The only issue is that the steering wheel I got didn't have the white connector that plugs in to the right of the steering wheel. I believe it was a 2 wire connector and had yellow and white wires. I went ahead with the install and everything is working except I don't think the lights are working for the cruise control, instrument cluster info and phone buttons. ( I installed it outside during the day, need to wait till night time to confirm for sure). Otherwise a quick and easy swap.
Thank you!!! I needed this info.
Glad it was helpful
Hey I have a question I hope you answer I have 2014 rt charger with an electric steering wheel tilt and paddle shifters w heater steering wheel the problem I’m having is my clock spring ripped it’s no good and I’m having trouble finding the same exact setup I’m only able to find charger with electric tilt with no paddle shifters or paddle shifters with manuall steering wheel tilt (that one doesn’t fit my charger the plug that goes behind the clock spring is different but I’m seeing everyone who’s adding the paddle shifter they don’t mess with the clock spring so I’m wondering if I get a clock spring from a charger with electric steering wheel tilt would it all just be plug n play I’m getting it form a local pick a part since the dealer wants 600+ for the clock spring and they have to order it thansk let me know if you have any advice
I don’t mind the heated steering wheel not to work I just want the paddle shifters and the buttons on my steering wheel to work
Would u be able to just do a steering wheel swap with a 12-14 that already has paddle shifters
You can do that too as long as it is a 12 to 14 steering wheel. The button mapping for the 15+ wheels are different
You know if this modifications fits with a Chysler 300 2013 3.6 v6? Thanks.
I dont know sorry
Mine is a 2012 Charger Pursuit with the column shift and autostick. Would it work with those too?
Have not personally done it on a pursuit but as the shifter is on the column and has nothing to do with the steering wheel I dont see this as an issue. I cant say for sure though.
Would you know a part number for the heated wheel option?
Not off hand sorry. I found it before on a google search kinda buried
FYI-there is no need to disconnect battery. I did it many times without disconnecting battery.
Can you do this for a police rt?
Not sure if the column shifter would get in the way but I dont see why not.
What's the cost to do this? I'm wanting a charger and this is a must have for me. Debating on settling for 1 without and adding.
The parts to do this are impossible to find now. If this is a must find a care that already has them installed
I just wanted to know i have a 2012 charger r/t and was wondering of it would work or would it have to be an srt? Also you said something about tazer what exactly is that? Thanks in advance
It will work on ypur rt. You need a Tazer from zautotech yo change the settings i the car to make the paddles work
@dasllamas with the tazer do I need to keep it plugged into my car in order to continuously use the paddle shifters or does it basically reprogram everything and I can remove the tazer?
What size hex bit for the steering wheel bolt? You might have mentioned it in the video but wasn’t sure.
3/8 hex bit
@@dasllamas thanks bro
Quick question would it work for a police package vehicle as well or?
As far as I know it will. Jusy need to have a 2012 or newer. Dont think the tazer works for the 2011
I wonder If I can do that on my 2013 challenger
Yes you can
I paid off my 2011 charger. So im looking into upgrades. Paddle shifters was first on 2015 and newer? So is it ok to get any model shifter from 2015 and newer? Or should i play it safe and get the ones you got?
Paddle shifters were available 2012 and newer. These as far as I know will not work for 2011. Tazer that is used to turn them on does not work for the '11
@@dasllamas dang it
Do I need to by the Wiring Harness (Non-Heated Wheel) - 68196079AB
?? Because i can not find it anywhere
www.moparpartsgiant.com/parts/mopar-wiring-steering-wheel~68196079ab.html
Good luck finding a back cover (discontinued) or one of the paddle bezels which are discontinued. I got lucky and found a salvage yard steering column with a paddle wheel on it for $100.00 shipped! They took the wheel off for me.
They lost the paddle bezels and I scrambled fining two via ebay. The back cover is a tad chalked so I went on the hunt = discontinued.
The leather and cosmetics are very good, I'll plastic paint the rear cover. Good Luck!
Thank you for the info. Pinned for the community to know
Steve White Motors has them. I bought both paddle bezels from them last week. The wheel back cover I got off Amazon 2 weeks ago. BTW, you have to search for the part numbers on their site. If you use the drop down menus to select your car, it shows some parts as not for sale.
Lmk asap ! Thank you I have a 2013 Chrysler 300
Diffrent part numbers and if tazer doesn't work you can use alphaobd
I got the heated steering wheel feature on my 2012 dodge charger r/t max. And I want to keep my heated steering wheel feature when I put my paddle shifters on. Is there a wire harness for it so I can keep that feature when I put my paddles shifters on???
Yes there is. Unfortunately I do not know that part number
@@dasllamas 🤦♂️
My back cover fits but it won’t completely snug down any advice ? I have a gap on the back of the cover between that and the steering wheel
Soneone had mentioned in a comment that they had to trim a couple plastic tabs inside their cover to make it sit flat
dasllamas hmmm I wonder if they fully explained it so I can fix mine
I have a pursuit model I did this and shifters still don’t work and advice?
Just confriming you activated the paddles using the taser? 2012 and newer?
Alright. In your description you state this can be done for the 2011-2014. I have a 2011 and have been told this can't be done for the 2011 model. Is this true or can it indeed be done for the 2011. I also need the part number for the heated steering wheel harness for the paddle shifter harness.
Part number should be (68196079AB)
I think I said 2012 to 14 because the the time of this video the tazer did not support the 2011 my bad if I put 2011 in the description. If they now support the 2011 then you are good to go
@@dasllamas i checked on the Tazer Website and it seems the 2011 can't support the paddle shifters. It will allow shifting using the cruise control +/- buttons on the steering wheel but not the paddle shifters. Oh well.
@@johnnyray5515 sorry 😥
I seen another video with a dude saying it works for the 2011 is that true
The reason I said 12 to 14 is because you need the tazer to turn on the paddle shifters in the computer. Unless tazer now supports the 2011 i dont think it will work.
Does this work if I buy a custom steering wheel would this work?
As long as your custom wheel supports the paddle shifters
Would you be able to do the paddle conversion to an 11 charger?
Tazer will not work on an 11
When you remove steering wheel how long to wait before you remove the air bag you mentioned letting the battery discharge or something so I assume you can’t just disconnect the battery and get right to it?
Just disconnect the battery and leave a door open for a few minutes. Try to honk the horn. If everything is dead you should be good. Just be careful of any static discharge as you work. Not likely to set off the airbag but still best to be safe.
@@dasllamas thanks for the quick response I’m assuming removing the steering wheel is the same process for a 2011 charger as wheel? And for actually removing the steering wheel lock thing was it a special tool u needed?
@@Jay-oe2od was just a hex bit. I dont recall the size and dont remember if I mentioned it in the video. Its been a while since ive watched it
Can I do this on a 2016 Dodge Charger pursuit, wanna change it to a civilian model
Im sure you can. Different parts though
👍
Hi. I installed today Paddle Shifter however.... Have you noticed space between rear plastic bazel on the corners and the steering wheel? I have this problem on both sides. It seems that steering wheel designed for paddle shifters have slightly different shape. Have you noticed it?
I did notice this. It is just slightly separated at the ends. I figured this was because I bought a third party bezel
@@dasllamas yes i have similar issue. This does not looks good. But i'm wonder....is this possible to buy not an OEM backs bazel? who would like to produce this thing....
And you left it like that?
Ok so I found here www.chargerforumz.com/threads/the-quest-to-add-shifter-paddles-to-a-2013-r-t.159184/page-2 info that steering wheel is different. Thats normal-its not a matter of third party bazel. What i think is possible is to go to the guys who will replace a leather on the steering wheel and they will build up a bit of it on the back near this plastic.
What have you done with it dasllamas? You left it like that?
Does this work if you have a column shifter ?
I do not have first hand experience with doing this on a column shift set up but there isnt anything that should prevnt you from doing this. The parts are basically impossible to find now unless you get them from a scrap yard
Can I turn the paddles in with a Diablo tuner ?
Have to use tazer or alphaOBD
I have a 2014 SE, can I still do this? Do you only need the paddle shifters and the tazer?
Yup. Tazer is the easypart. Finding the paddles/harness is the hard part right now.
@@dasllamas I just found an entire wheel. Its from a challenger 2012-2014 with the paddle shifters. I just wonder how compatible it would be with my charger, people are saying in the charger forums it works so I might give it a shot.
Also I might be better off just doing it ur way, then I dont need to worry abt getting a new airbag.
hello does this fit on a 2014 chrysler 300?
I think you need different part numbers for the chrysler wheel. The process is the same
Does this work for the 2011 charger rt?
I have said it does not because the tazer does not support the 2011 charger to turn on the paddles but I had someone say the tazer works on their 11.
Hi, I have a 2012 300 and I was wondering if anyone knows if you can use the same rear cover from the Charger on my 300. If the answer is no, then which part would I need?
I believe we have different wheels. Best thing to do is go to a local dealer and ask the parts guy for the part number then google search from there
@@dasllamas Thanks, I just want to make sure that it has the ability to accept the paddle shifters
Is this possible with a 2015 dart?
I have the autostick manual mode but no paddle shifters
I think you have to use a program called AlphaOBD. Check out their facebook group and they guys there can walk you through it
@@dasllamas thanks so much!
that's awesome. I thought I had to buy a whole new steering wheel. how much was the total install?
It is still going to run you 200 to 300 in parts. Paddles are 60ish each the covers are cheap. Rear bezel is closer to 100 and harness is 50ish. These are all ballpark prices not exact
@@dasllamas not bad considering that a new steering wheel goes for 600+, from what I've seen. do you have the heated steering wheel?
@@josuevillanueva3016 i do not have the heated wheel. A friend had figured out how to turn it on in the computer but it is kind of involved but it can be done
@@dasllamas oh ok. only asking because I do have it, and was wondering if I would need anything extra for the swap. your way seems pretty straight forward tho. I'm pretty sure that since the grip on the wheel stays the same, I wouldn't have any problems.
Can I do this in a 2011 pursuit package?
Tazer does not work on a 2011 sorry
the cover and wiring harness is discontinued... can anyone link theme from another source?
So far I dont think anyone has found them. Junk yard is your best bet
Can I add them to my 2012 rt?.?
Yes
wait does it also work with the SE models because well I'm not rich and stuff and will only be able to afford the SE model as my first car so yeah....
Yes it will. Id look for 2012 or newer. The 2011 has the old evic on the dash
@@dasllamas okay I wanted to make sure thanks for the help hope you have a good day
Anyone know if this works on the pursuits?
I don't see why it wouldn't as long as it was a 12 to 14 charger.
Can someone post a link for the heated steering wheel variant of the harness? Can't seem to find it.
I believe this is the part number you need.
68196079AA
(68196079AB)
Is the new part that replaces the old one but verify that it is still the same plugs
What website did you buy the parts from? Or do we just put the part name and serial number and just buy which ever we see first that has the numbers?
They are on a few sites if you google the part numbers I think one of the sites is mopar parts or something like that. I don't have the exact website right now sorry.
Look for a good ebay seller too if that is your thing
@@dasllamas I found them on a website all the parts are available still so it good because the first website I found to buy them said that they dont make them anymore and I low key got mad and though I wasn't going to be able to install them but in the website I found with all harness wires and parts the price goes to almost 500 without adding shipping and taxes if they also add those things
@@dasllamas btw can you do a video explaining how you activated the paddles so they could work
Are all the parts and install process the same for the Chrysler 300?
Install should be similar. I part numbers are likely different
@@dasllamas how did you find the part numbers? I'm looking for Chrysler as well.
Just wondering: would this work on a 2016 3.6l Pentastar Jeep? It has a NAG1, so basically exact same tranny (i think). Steering wheel looks pretty much the same too...
Grand cherokee? I believe so. Check tazers website
@@dasllamas oops forgot, no: wrangler.
@@White.Elemant will not work on a wrangler. Tazer doesn't support the wrangler till the JL/JT
Will this work on a 2011 RT?
As far as I know the tazer does not work for the 2011. You may have to look into AlphaOBD and see if you can turn on the paddle shifters through that.
Where can I buy the parts at and will this for sure work on a 2011
Will not work on 2011 because the tazer is needed to turn on the paddle shifters and the tazer does not work for 2011
dasllamas ok thanks
Having a hard time finding a place to order them. Any ideas on where I can?
Junk yard is gonna be about it. These got hard to find pretty quickly when the body changed in 2015
@@dasllamas alr thank you!
If I have a heated steering wheel will I lose that function changing out the wiring harness, also are these parts interchangeable from dodge to chrysler.. I'd imagine it would but idk sometimes these guys surprise me with some next level bullshit 🤣
As far as I know they are the same harness. You have to buy the harness for the heated wheel so it will have the power wire for the heating elements
@@dasllamas okay sounds good thank you! I'm gonna just buy that single harness you reference in the video if I dont get the heated steering wheel it's not the end of the world but finding that back cover is gonna be a big issue 😅
@@michaelmicalef3345 check scrap yards my friend
This work for challenger too?
Yes, not sure of the model years though. You have to see that tazer supports or alpha OBD.

Check the pinned comment. I think it may be there
Could you modify the stock rear bezel to mount and work with the paddles? Im having a real pain finding a legit website with one as they have been discontinued and am considering modifying the stock one if possible to at least work untill i can find one. Any advice or knowledge on this would be greatly appreciated, thank you.
The way it screws together I dont thing you can just cut it open for the paddles
@@dasllamas most likely not but if i could add material onto it and drill out the proper holes i might be able to make something work, looking at the diagrams they seem almost identical though i cant find enough refrences to be completely sure. I have a replacement so i might end up trying at least,if it works i might make a video or get photos so that others can have a solution to not having the part.

If you can find the parts. Yes you can
I cannot find the bezels in 2023, please help me!
Honestly surprised you found any of it. These have stopped production and imposible to find. Check your local junk yards
Why you need a wire harness. All my friend did was add the back cover and the paddles then turned it with the tazer
Plugs for mine were different.
You think this will work on a Chrysler 300
Should be a similar idea. Double check part numbers and tazer compatibility with your car
Hello my friend, one question.
This work with a 8 speed transmission?
I believe so. It was an option for the 8 speed v6 as well
whats the wiring harness for?
Connects all the buttons to the computer
Does this work on a v6?
Yes I believe it does. As long as it was an option for your car from the factory
For some reason I cant find any of the bezels I need like the rear cover or the bezels for the steering wheel. Ive searched by part number and all it says is "discontinued" can anyone help me out?
Unfortunately with this being a car that stopped production almost 9 years ago you will have to look for parts in a junk yard. Basically impossible to find new now
@@dasllamas damn, thanks anyway
Will this work for a 2011 rt awd?
The tazer will not work on the 2011. You might try to see if alpha obd will work but i have not heard if anyone has been successful
@@dasllamas my tazer works on my 2011 I have a cluster from a 2015 in my 2011 the tazer works perfectly I’m getting a trans from a 2018 soon and a bcm from a 2015 so I can have srt pages and my motor is a 2012 nothing is stock other then the wheel itself so before I hit the scrap yard I was just kinda seeing if it would mount right to a 2011
What was the total price for all the parts?
Was about 200 at the that I did it. Much higher now that the parts are hard to find

Ya these parts are almost impossible to find now
