I'm beginning a swap of the SRT type wheel to my 2014 JK. I should probably address the "why?" question upfront. The wheel looks sporty and comfortable - a nice bonus. But I'm really after the paddle shifters for the auto trans. I've always driven manual trans vehicles and can't stand the shifting on this auto. I've been using the console shifter full time, but thought the paddles would be nice to have as well.
The particular wheel I picked up is from a 2014 Challenger 100th Anniversary model. From what I've gathered, the splines are not the same size. I haven't figured out what to do about that. From pictures, it looks like the spline receptacle on the wheel is pressed in. If that's the case, maybe I could press out the receptacle from my wheel and press it into the new wheel.
Another issue is wiring. I don't know if there are any spare wires in the JK clock spring to pass the paddle shifter signal. Also, I believe the connectors for the cruise control, evic, radio, etc are not the same between the two wheels. So I need to figure out the wiring.
Does anyone have access to wiring diagrams of the steering wheel/horn area/clock spring for these two vehicles? (2014 Challenger 100th Anniversary edition, 2014 JK Unlimited)
I'll post back with progress for anyone that's interested. Don't have the new wheel in hand yet.
Thanks,
Dom
