I really have searched the forums to answer this and I might have found the answers the problem is i don't actually understand them because they reference uconnect/mygig & i don't know what UCONNECT or myGIG do cause i've got the basic stereo on my 2014 jk sport (am/fm/cd NO blutooth). It has steering wheel buttons but only for cruise control and cycling through milage stuff (and volume/seek on back) but there are three blank buttons on the steering wheel that don't press in or do anything.

I'm upgrading my head unit to a Pioneer NEX4000 (to get carplay/bluetooth) and I'd like to be able to have the buttons that you'd get with Uconnect (answer/hang up, and blutooth i think?) is this possible to do?

Also random but would it be possible to use these buttons for anything? there's still a blank, could it be used for offroad lights on/off? I love the stock look and hate adding random switches on the jk.

thanks, J

 

You have to buy a $400 module to use UCONNECT, when I bought mine I went to the jeep dealership in my area and asked why I couldn't use it and that's because you have to buy the module if it didn't come in it

 

Don't want to use UCONNECT whatever that is... I just want to use the blank steering wheel buttons & the guys at carrots don't know if they can till they rip it apart.... Hoping to shed some light on this prior to.

 

Look at idatalink Maestro ...it's amazing ....too bad I don't have steering wheel controls ...easy to install but pricey ....there's many videos on YouTube on the Maestro
