INSTALLING PADDLE SHIFTERS ON MY JEEP GRAND CHEROKEE!!

I've been wanting to install paddle shifters on my 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee for a while but the 2018 Altitude package doesn't come with the paddle shifters installed from the factory. 2017 and prior has the paddle shifters pre-installed as well as higher models such as the Limited etc! The ones that I have installed now are SRT / Trawkhawk versions and are larger than the standard paddles. Overall it's a fairly simple install, I tried to do a full how to / guide on how to install the paddles and remove the steering wheel air bag to install them. It takes a bit of patience but it's not the worst thing to do.

    I figured out the SUPER easy way!!! Remove the bottom plastic piece that has the 2 cross tip screws FIRST, after you remove that then you can literally see the spring AND the punch. Under a minute to pop both sides. Thanks for this tutorial brother, you always crush it 🙏🏾

    Installed ebay paddles today that cost like $40. Only issue was I didn't know after disconnecting the battery, it took a few hours for the system to reset completely. Initially, the reverse camera stopped working along with a couple of other features. Waited a few hours and enabled paddles in JScan and everything works perfectly.
