Updating 2006 to 2008 Steering wheel
Recently purchased a 2006 Express 3500. Been sorting things out. Like adding a Ford Taurus cooling fan so it cools really well sitting still.
The Ridetech shocks like StanVan recommended, things like that. So I decided I wanted to upgrade sound system and add backup camera. Has anyone had any experience with installing a 2008 steering wheel and maybe computer. I want to have audio controls on steering wheel for head unit. My work van is a loaded Town n Country so it spoiled me. Just wondering if it would work or would there be way more involved. |
Ron (Teammuir1) did one. He should chime in soon, but he said this is a busy time of year for him, so it may take a day or so.

what is the impala inner clock spring? |
A 2007+ van steering wheel physically fits on the steering shaft just fine, but you'll need to buy a new air bag.
The Impala clockspring is needed for the radio buttons , they're a "resistance ladder" type. The clockspring in your van only has 2 wires for the air bag. Yes the four bottom buttons are not used, however they're connected to the clockspring so I could wire them to control something else if I needed to. If I did this again, I'd jump for an Escalade wood and leather steering wheel. |

No need in reinventing the wheel when someone else is already figured it out. yeah I can find something to do with those bottom buttons make my life easier. maybe control light bar, maybe some additional interior lights, something… |
