Installing MOPAR Cruise Control
Works great! thanks for the help. did have a bit of trouble removing the airbag. that L-shaped flat screwdrived worked well. for those who havent tried it yet. you will be pushing the screwdriver in with the blade going left to right with the screwdriver at at 20-30 degree angle from the ground pushing towards your belly. once inserted twist 90 degrees. good luck
I'm also very interested in this mod, but would love to have the pictures before I dive in.
I cant see the pics and have tried on several conputers with several internet feeds. My guess is the hosting site was removed. I did it w/o pics. The only pic I miss was the removal of the airbag. ended up using a utility knife to pear away the shroud till i could see the clips. if you use a knife pear away towards you (.5 - .75 of an inch) and once you can see the clip its a no brainer. the rest is super straight forward.

I followed the write-up and all went perfect. If it were not for people sharing their successes someone like myself would be lost. I just wanted to say thanks for both this site and write-up.

Just installed last weekend, and couldn't have done it without this thread! To help others who were stuck at step 1 - removing airbag behind the Jeep symbol on the steering wheel - here are some pics
Cutting away the shroud to find the clips (that were not where I expected them to be). The push twist wasn't enough with my stubby screwdriver - I had to push then flick them off

The airbag, the three clips now removed. I remove the yellow and black connectors by carefully pinching the sides and pulling them out - AFTER THE BATTERY HAD BEEN DISCONNECTED. Disconnect before removing the steering wheel - I pulled too hard and broke the wiring harness.

Bought the kit off ebay from Jeepsareus - very quick shipping - included instructions were fine once I figured out how to get the airbag off.
I have very little mechanical ability, and it took a little over an hour.

I put the whole thing together and was in middle of reconnecting the battery when the horn started blasting. And it will not stop. So, I messed up one of the horn buttons when I pushed those 4 buttons into the steering wheel didnt I? Some one please tell me I didnt do that. I have no wish to pull off the airbag AGAIN.
