Audio Steering Controls Retrofit

Just swapped my wheel. Thanks for all the info!
 
Well I installed my steering wheel and the volume control on the right does not work. I then ordered a replacement right button and tried it and still nothing. What is weird is the center button on the switch switches between sources just fine but the up and down do nothing. The left button changes channels fine and switches presets as expected. Any ideas.

Does the switch work fine with your original radio, but only have problems with the 8.4nav radio installed?
 
I can’t for the life of me get the air bag to
Clip in. It’s Ike it won’t go back all the way. I either get one side or nothing. And the springs are out

I’ve read it over and over. But I’ve just watched a video earlier saying you do have to push the clips in to lock them in and quickly push the air bag in place firmly and fast. Or else either one side clicks in or neither. As soon as you place the air bag up it’s like it wants to pops those springs out automatically. I tried for nearly 45 minutes. And using the pick tool it’s not working and I’m started to leave little round spots on my air bag from trying to reach the tool around while pressing hard on the air bag in ward

By ordering the parts in this thread yourself from any of the multiple online mopar parts dealers that discount list prices you can get it done for like $450 in parts instead of $600 in that kit.

Thank you i appreciate it
 
Will part number steering wheel 6wr76tx7aa work for the audio upgrade? Seems to have same codes as the 6wr73tx7aa when looking online. Maybe color and/or trim is different. Don't know doesn't matter for my install.

Both 6WR76TX7AA and 6WR73TX7AA show sales code RDZ (steering wheel mounted audio controls). Looks like the main difference is that 6WR76TX7AA has sales code NHS (heated steering wheel).
