5 MONTH UPDATE!!!!
Volume goes up and down on its own
Occasionally muted itself
CarPlay sometimes acts up and I just decided to stop using it and use regular Bluetooth for my phones music
Black screen every once in a while, but just turn off and back on again or put in reverse and it fixes.
Overall fairly satisfied, however I would recommend getting a 4GB ram instead of 2gb ram model for $50-60 more on Amazon.
How do you control your A/C?

I have had mine for 2 months and love it. No complaints. I would recommend getting 4GB units as it would be much faster than the 2GB. You will love it! Thanks for the video
Yep and that’s what I did. No major issues and it’s way better than that factory uconnect system.
To keep the factory camera did you need to do anything extra
was it difficult to retain the factory camera, and what was involved in hooking it up, also did you have to upgrad the "CAN bus" on the radio or...im looking at getting one myself but i havnt been able to decide weather or not i need the 2 core 2gb ram or the 4 core model amazon canada has options all the way to 8core 8gb ram sooo
Plug and play for back up camera. I’d go with 8 cord 8gb ram or 4gb. I have the 2gb due to it being cheapest it isn’t bad at all but sometimes slow.
Did you end up installing a backup camera? I have this head unit and want to install an aftermarket backup camera
Did you have the big red harness plug in the back? Did you have to cut out a metal bracket behind in order to fit?
I’m not sure to #1 but question 2 is for sure no
Which CAN BOX type did you choose?
Is this compatible with a YADA backup camera on a 2015 ram 1500?
I bought something similar and everything works well. I too have a 4th Gen Warlock trim. Did you retain your Parksence factory beeps with this unit? My Android unit is responding with my gauge cluster and showing the rear bumper senor, but is not giving me the tones for proximity in my speakers like my old unit did.
Not sure, I turned off the park sense. Used to drive me nuts.
It just the button you switched off under your climate control? Or you took out the module? Are you able to test it is what I am asking.
@@cjppedersen yes I can check for you later and get back to you
@@cjppedersen sorry it took so long everything is still working yes
@@Letsdoittv67 Thanks will be purchasing.
What about all vehicle settings that the original Uconnect stereo controls? Do you still have access to those?
No, some are still available from the cluster though like the “time lights stay on after shutting door” etc
Is their a video of you installing it
Can’t get factory B/U Camera to work on my 2018 Ram; did you have to splice or convert any of the connections for that?
No direct plug n play. I responded to your other comment with the specifics. Good luck brotha!
In the settings can you adjust the dashboard lights, headlights and all the lighting?
I'd like to know myself
Would this work with amp and subwoofers?
Please help, I’m lost.. 2015 ram 1500 big horn looks the exact same as yours. I disconnected my factory got the this new one all mounted up ready to go. Went to plug in the screen and no power the my new aftermarket screen. Connected back to my factory unit works perfect. Idk why it’s now powering up
It could be defective. Try unplugging and replugging in, check all connections and make sure nothing is loose. Did you disconnect battery during install? If not you could of sent a static charge, I think that’s what it’s called, but you get what I mean and that can shock the board causing a resistor to fail. Try checking everything, no good I’d suggest sending back.
Hey, did you ever figure this out? When I installed my new one, I had the exact same issue. It was the canbus attachment (little red box that’s sorta clear)
I have an outdoorsman and it has harmon kardon stock speakers do i risk any comm issues?
I don’t think it would make a difference but you just never know. Can always keep your stock system incase things go wrong. What year is your truck?
Everything is fine with the radio but nothing can be heard from the speakers. can anybody help me?
Do you ever have an issue where the car play won’t connect and the screen just says verification approved? That’s what is happening to me every so often.
I don’t have an actual fix, but I close all apps out and click “reboot” or “restart system” and usually it’ll help fine when it connects for a few days or so.
@@Letsdoittv67 where do I find the reboot or reset system?
@@peterhuang7148 in some models you pull the screen down and select reboot, in other models it’s in settings > system > restart system or reboot
How do you get Apple car play I’ve looked but can’t find it on my radio
“Cp link” app
did you get the steering wheel contro; to work? cant get mine to work
No, I never did get it to work. I most likely missed something in the instruction manual. I have the upgraded version now with 8 cores 4 GB ram. It also has OLED instead of LCD.
@@Letsdoittv67 do u have the link for the stereo
@@jaimemoreno2532 check description of this video and new video, I’d suggest the newer one over this one.
I run a 4 channel amp and sub amp what RCA’s are on the back of it ?
I’m going to be pretty useless here, I do believe I saw a red/white hookup on the back but I could be wrong. I’d suggest going with the slightly higher end model if you purchase, and I do believe the Amazon links show full picture of back and front.
Sub rca and 4 4 speaker rca’s just hooked up mine
Which connector from the truck is the back up camera?
Check all your included wires. I’ve had 3 of these in dash aftermarket upgrades (not replacing, they hold up nicely, just kept upgrading) and on each model it was a yellow wire or yellow wire adapter + a cord that is basically a USB-A type. Remember the old school wire that was on the ps3 controller and also on older mp3 players and some phones. That one. You need both plugged in, one is for power other is for video.
I know for sure I did not plug in that “Camera type plug” as I couldn’t find a plug for it.
I’m gonna have to double check it one evening this week.
Thanks again.
Do you have heat and ac control on screen?
No just manual controls
Did you have to get any special wiring harness
No it was plug and play. I believe this is only for the 7 speed fan models that have RA1 or RA2 radios, so you’ll need to move the ac control module to the new face plate. It was super easy took about 25 minutes to compete the entire thing.
What's RA 1 and 2 radio I currently have a 5.0 uconnect
@@mikeadair2363 the 5.0 is RA2 I believe. That’s what I had in my truck from factory was the 5.0 inch UConnect screen
You've been a great help thanks so much By the way your presentation was excellent Hope to order and install mine soon
Also did USB outlets still usable in the flip up console or do you have to reroute it?
what year truck did you put it in?
2020 but it’s a classic (09-18 body style)
Is thia still working? Im hesitant on the longevity of this system..
I upgraded. Same brand, but 4gb ram model with 1080p instead of 720p. I strongly believe it would still be working. The main issue that drove me crazy was the volume was moving on its own however it was probably a factory defect.
Does the back up camera still work
It will fit a 2021 ram?
The classic yes
Will it fit a 2021 ram 1500 classic warlock ?
Yes. Mine is a 20 warlock in video.
Has to be the manual dials for ac control not the dual climate
Perfect it should work ! I will order it soon. Thanks mate much appreciated
will it fit in a 2009 ram?
2013-2018 (2019-2024 Classic also)
They do sell similar ones for 2009-2012 as well
Why wouldn’t you show the actual instal ?
I have another video on my channel showing how to do it
