My 2001 service manual says the steering wheel radio controls are hardwired
to the CTM through the clockspring. Not via a radio signal.
Your post did surprise me though. I was wondering if it *were* via a radio
signal how Dodge protects vehicles from interfering with each other and
also protects from pranksters. Unwanted remote control of your vehicle
could be a very very bad thing.
Anyway, so I looked it up. But do please let me know if what I'm seeing in
my service manual is wrong, okay? -Tod
