Default Right steering wheel control for 2021 Silverado

Does anyone know if and where I can purchase a right steering wheel control for a 2021 Silverado? Through Chevrolet dealer? Other avenue? It's the control for audio, phone, options and the DIC.

I'm not as familiar with Chevy as other makes. Are the hook ups in place for this under the cover?

Not sure if doing this would require a different steering wheel or if there are different right control sizes for what wheel is in truck.

Thanks for any help.


My config:


Right Control wanted

Call the dealer and see if they can add this build option. adding anything into a bus network requires programming to add the module to the bus. the dealer can find out if its a configurable option or not.

with todays builds...you can't just pop in a switch and connect it.
if they can add it...they will have a kit. you buy the kit, pay for install, pay to have the option added to the build and pay to have it programmed.
adding options like remote start and brake controllers cost around $400 where i am.

Thank you for the info. I'll talk to my dealer. Figured if I could get the part, I'd still have to have it installed. No plug and play anymore as they say lol.

Did you ever find out if you can add the controls on steering wheel. I have the Custom Trail boss and want the controls so I can upgrade my Dash Cluster

Did anyone ever find out if this is an option to add the Audio controls to the right side of steering wheel? I’d be interested in adding that ASAP.

Seems like because I have a 2021, no parts shop either wants to sell a new steering wheel for the 2021 Silverado 1500 Custom or just don't have it in stock. Has anyone successfully added a audio control to Silverado 1500 Custom or replaced the steering wheel with or without the controls? I would really like a leather wheel with controls but seems there's none out there. Nevertheless, I'm reading from earlier threads that it might require dealership installation...and of course at a price. I did see a YouTube video that replaced the Cluster and steering wheel with controls successfully. However, one cable had to be added to make the radio controls work and operate the Cluster. The Cluster was a Denali make with digital display and the steering wheel looked like an aftermarket. All worked according to the video. I also found an aftermarket steering wheel at $600.00. Steep but the only one I found that was available and fancy.

Something to check is do you have a radio that is compatible with the right hand controls?

Here's the video I saw that helped me. However, I subsequently decided to purchase a steering wheel that had controls on both sides (cruse and radio/voice). I've yet to replace the cluster (coming at a later date). Hope this helps...

Everyone I've talked to from the dealer to a buddy of mine who runs a dealership in VA has said it can't be done on mine that is a custom 1500. I haven't looked into it any further than that.
