The ASWC instructions included a short blurb about the possibility of regaining the functionality of the hands free buttons, but it didn't work for me.

I'm guessing that the reason for it not working was that I didn't have a uconnect module installed. Anyone have any thoughts on the cheapest way to get this up and running. I don't even need the bluetooth to work, just the uconnect (and dealer flash) to get the buttons working.

Just wanted to give anyone who is interested a heads up. Purchased my 2012 Sahara on memorial day. Had all the options I wanted except the uconnect package. Dealer agreed to install the uconnect package at cost. All was well, or so I thought. I later learned that I would only be getting the uconnect module which would allow Bluetooth connectivity. I really would have liked to have had the USB port inside the console, but after hearing of hit or miss pairing with the iPhone 4s I wasn't too disappointed. Also was hoping for the steering wheel controls, but didn't get those as well. After hours of research on the net and many forums, I came across someone who had successfully swapped the steering wheel controls. Long story short, I went from the controls with only the step/reset button, to the controls with the handsfree buttons. Now obviously I don't don't have the evic display. No big deal. I can still toggle through the display with the menu button and the compass button changes Fahrenheit to Celsius. Best of all though, the handsfree/voice ready buttons function properly as well.

Plenty of write-ups for removing steering wheel on web. Only took about 20 minutes to swap out controls.
If anyone is interested, the part # for the handsfree controls is 56046405AB

Here is what I had before:

YUP!

Just ordered the part and plan on doing the exact same thing to my Sahara.
Thank you for posting this as they had no idea and just laughed at me when I asked the service dept about it.
Looking forward to showing them how easy it was!

If i see anything different in my experience I will post it as well.:cool:

Did you add the UConnect kit and have it activated as well? If you don't have hands free now, you still won't with the 430N, unless you add the kit.

I added the Uconnect Module and took it to the dealer, Tech there noticed I had lockpick and told me I would not need to have Starscan. Works very well, I put the mic on the dash to the right side of the drivers side Tweeter/Tombstone and works very well even with windows down. I did this so I did not have to run up through pillar. Also if anyone else does this dont spend the money on the OEM IPOD Cable as you can just buy a usb mini to USB adaptor and save some scratch.
