If it didn't come with it will it have the necessary goodies under the hood? Or is 2006 drive by wire? I'm always forgetting when it switched.
2007 should be the first year for drive by wire.

2005 was drive by wire. I have the pedal for sale in ebay. I believe 2004 an down wasn't, as my 2002 required the switches, the actuator, and a new clock spring.

Your good to go. Just get the switches an screw them in.
Thanks, just learned something. I thought 2007 had the first electronically controlled throttle body, which then carried over to the 08 KK. Thanks for the updated info.

Very likely. They had carried the 3.7l through many years before any updates.

Just read 2002-06 was still cable driven in the 3.7L. So if you have a gasser you'll need the actuator for those years. If it's the CRD then it's drive by wire. That's what I was assuming fjt226 was talking about having. Even still with the gassers it's still an easy upgrade. Switches, actuator, an possible clock spring (I know in my '02 gasser I needed a clock spring). Can all be done on ebay for well under $100, dare I say even under $60. But good info to share for others. Thank you for bringing up the gassers I was totally focused on the diesel.

You suggest adding the switches to the steering wheel. I see no blank spaces in which to use to do this. Is there a different steering wheel face that must be replaced as well? Also, I checked with Jeep and they said that the parts are no longer available from them.

What you have now are blanks in there. When you pop off the airbag you'll see each side where the switch goes is a cover held by a small screw. The new switch takes place of the blanks that are there now. Search ebay for the switches, that's the cheapest route to go.

The picture of the steering wheel that you show is not like the one in my vehicle. My steering wheel does not have those switches, or blank covers at all. So do I have to get a new steering wheel as well? And thanks for the help.

If you can post a picture of yours.

Something to keep in mind, it is not just the switches but the surrounding plastic that all come out in one piece that would be swapped out if that makes sense.
Your wheel may not look like it would be able to adapt them into, but there's a good chance chrysler didn't put the money into making multiple steering wheels when trim pieces could just be swapped out.
You may be right for your wheel though, I don't know for sure!
