I Just upgraded mine to a 8inch I got it from Infotainment , you give them your Vin number and they set everything up, All Plug and Play. They send you a bezel that you swap out.. worst part was Disconnecting the plugs, but not bad at all, Well Worth it Very good Video, Thanks for sharing
Hey, it’s a nice upgrade is a nice video I just like to know what are you by the cluster the radio the vessel, everything to feeding your tracks nicely and the wiring for the heater you did a nice work on your truck. I just like to know if you can let me know whether you got all the stuff I really appreciate it. 23:58
I'm assuming you're not using the dual auto temperature control? Also, did you have to install a temperature sensor for the single zone temperature control to work?
Thanks man! I honestly don’t have them anymore unfortunately. I would go to ramforum.com and search for 8.4 uconnect swap. There is a TON of info there and it’s where I sourced all my part numbers.
If I have the bezel and everything but the 8.4 CarPlay version can I just do a direct swap without the conversion harness? (I have the climate controls like the ones you swapped the bezels for) I just don’t have the newer car play uconnect
Ok, stupid question..... I have a 2011 Big Horn, they don't come with the shift knob, but an actual shifter stick. How does this bezel setup work then on my 4th Gen?
Thank you! It’s a 2013 tradesman. I source my parts from all over. I just look on eBay, fb marketplace, and also the ram forum and usually find what I need. Lots of research and finding the part numbers I need. If I can’t find it used in good condition then I’ll search the part numbers on a mopar parts website until I find the best price. Hope this helps
@@bgarciaink Thank you! I’m looking to do the same upgrade on my 2018 2500 SLT. Starting to hunt for the parts, do you know if the 2020 screen will work? Also, are you doing the follow up video showing the Apple CarPlay, etc? Thank you!
The 2020 screen will work but will require modification. You would have to make a conversion harness as well as modify the center stack behind the radio. There is really no benefit to using one of these. I would stick to 2018-2019 classic if you want CarPlay/android auto. I never was able to recover those videos. I lost the footage unfortunately. Maybe in a future video I’ll show an update
How did you get the temperature indication on the screen showing the real value in number instead of just the blue and red bar? Is this something that you setting or have to do with the display you install? Thank
Wow i have the same low crappy radio in my 2018 express and the guy at the dealership laughed at me and said it could not be done that i would have to by a better ram
This video is awesome. I have a 15 ram 1500 but I have a the Seven speed fan no apps or CarPlay. Would I just need the upgraded screen. If so where do I purchase!
You would need a 2018/19 classic screen for CarPlay and android auto. For the harness you would need to check out 4wheelelectronics and give them your info. They can make you a harness for your specific needs. Also you would need to change your media hub (located in center console or jump seat) to a 2018 hub. This is needed for CarPlay to work
i hope someone sees this. i did this install bought the same kit but my truck i cant find that blower motor resister that has to be swapped out its not on the passenger side floor
I have an 18 slt with 7 speed. I still need the harness correct ? What about the hvac control module? You used it to convert 4 to 7 speed but if u already have a 7? Thank you!
You will still need a harness. Visit 4wheelelectronics.com and find what you need for your vehicle. Your harness would be different than mine but you would still need one. I’m not 100% about the cc module but those guys over at 4wheel can answer all your questions. Hope this helps
Great video but I'm confused my truck is a 18 express with a 5" screen and my headliner has the speaker in it because my rear view mirror is plain jane all it does is flip up to dim bright lights and also my radio has XM and a backup camera already so maybe I'd be alright installing a radio like this? Thanks for great videos
I’ve never heard or seen the mic in the headliner? If you have the backup camera already then you’re that much closer. You might still need a few extra parts to get the radio to work. The 8.4 works together with your climate control so you might need the conversion harness to get it to work. I’m not sure about all the different ram models, but if you’re interested I would check out ram forum and search for 8.4 uconnect swap. Lots of great info for every model
@@hardymarshfarm7843 18 is not a 5th gen, it’s a 4th gen, and all “Classic” models still fall under 4th gen. The Speaker in the headliner is either the mic for your Bluetooth, or if your talking about speakers at the rear of the headliner assuming it’s a crew cab, that’s apart of the alpine sound system.
It may turn on, but you will not be able to use half of the radio controls. The ac and radio are connected together so it most likely won’t function properly. I’m pretty sure you need the harness
Sorry it was the video where I installed the taillights. I just remembered though that the footage was scrapped because I ran into some issues. I briefly explain in the video, but it’s not a full walk through unfortunately
Good morning I’m sorry I’m behind you but I have a quick question bro that’s a great video and I trying to do the same and my truck we have the same track and already have stereo and there Climate control but I have a hard time to find the harness for the climate control where do you buy it or how to look do you have any part number or from where you buy it
I enjoyed your video and was able to learn from it for my own upcoming swap to 8.4. Thanks for including the link for the harness. I just ordered the harness and control module from them. I already had the 8.4 radio and the bezel so they were the last things I needed to get started.
Everything should be the same for your truck. You just have to specify which ac you currently have. I had a 4 speed I think.. but when you get your harness made they’ll ask you that question
Done in excellent work on the truck
Link to the stuff you buy helps a lot in all your videos ✌🏼👍🏼
Good job u make it look easy
Looking good my friend
I Just upgraded mine to a 8inch
I got it from Infotainment , you give them your Vin number and they set everything up, All Plug and Play. They send you a bezel that you swap out.. worst part was Disconnecting the plugs, but not bad at all, Well Worth it
Very good Video, Thanks for sharing
I’ve been curious about that company. Thanks for sharing
how much $$
Really good video.
Where did you get your harness made at ?
Looks amazing
Thank you!

I just like to know if you can let me know whether you got all the stuff I really appreciate it. 23:58
where do you get all the harnesses and parts
I have a 2013 ram and I would like to implement this same system. Will you have the part numbers of the parts you bought?
How would one of these with nav work if you upgraded from what you had originally? Would it need a roof fin thing?
Thank you. Great help
I have done everything the same.
But my A/C compressor is not starting some way.
What the solution can be. Should I connect more harness?
You are good. Nice instruction.
Thank you!
If you add this can you also add the rear back up cam still after adding this? And still have it auto turn on when going in reverse?
How many band Equalizers does it have on upgrade? And is it a better quality sound or same?
I'm assuming you're not using the dual auto temperature control? Also, did you have to install a temperature sensor for the single zone temperature control to work?
Where did you buy everything & all the parts ?
I have a questions , does your Bluetooth still work ? Mine doesn’t want to connect to my iPhone anymore.
We need part #s and where did you get the harness?
What is the part number for the wiring harness?
Where did you buy the radio from?
Do you need the conversion harness for a 2018 Dodge Ram 1500 with a 7 speed fan? Are the plugs different?
Were did you get the custom hardness?
Did you upgrade media hub? Or can I just plug mini usb to the back of the radio and connect my iPhone to to have CarPlay?
What was the cost
Amazing video man! Would you happen to have part numbers for all the stuff you got? I would highly appreciate it.
Thanks man! I honestly don’t have them anymore unfortunately. I would go to ramforum.com and search for 8.4 uconnect swap. There is a TON of info there and it’s where I sourced all my part numbers.
Infotainment is a great place for upgrading factory Ram stuff.
If I have the bezel and everything but the 8.4 CarPlay version can I just do a direct swap without the conversion harness?
(I have the climate controls like the ones you swapped the bezels for)
I just don’t have the newer car play uconnect
How long does it take to do?
I’m not sure if I have a tradesman, how can I tell?
What year is your truck and trim level? Dos it have the 8 speed tranny?
Did you have to get the hub too ?
So how much did it cost to do this?
Any links for the conversion harness and fan resistor for the fan?
hello benjamin good day could you pass me the name of each of the pieces you used to make the conversion.
Greetings.
Ok, stupid question..... I have a 2011 Big Horn, they don't come with the shift knob, but an actual shifter stick. How does this bezel setup work then on my 4th Gen?
Does this kit give more air flow
where did you buy the harnesses?
the adapters for the stereo?
cabling?
do you have the part numbers?🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉😢😢😢😢😢
What did yo do with the old outside antenna?
did you keep the same blower motor?
Does it have siriusxm?
Where can I find all these parts or part numbers that I need?? I really wanna upgrade mine!!
My 16 ram has a RA2 radio so it has the 7 speed already. So i wouldn't need that new resistor?
Did you disconnect your battery or no?
Great video! What year is your ram? Where did you got all the parts? Thank you!

@@bgarciaink did the truck came with the shift knob already installed?
will this work on a 2009 Ram 1500?
How did you know the new radio was compatible with your ram
Where did you get the radio from?
Where did you find your parts and how much
will this fit on a 2012 ram?
How did you get the temperature indication on the screen showing the real value in number instead of just the blue and red bar? Is this something that you setting or have to do with the display you install? Thank
I’m not entirely sure what you mean, but I believe it has to do with the version I have. My screen is from a 2019 classic. That might be it
Swapped my 2014 8.4 for a 2018 8.4 with carplay. Steering wheel controls not working. Any help ,?

I have a 18 classic as well with backup camera will I have issues with the 7 speed fan?
Is the wiring harness needed too make it work radio wise or is it just for the fan speeds ? can I just get the radio and the bezel and plug it up ?
It may turn on, but you will not be able to use half of the radio controls. The ac and radio are connected together so it most likely won’t function properly. I’m pretty sure you need the harness
you need a code to activate the stereo?
How about the factory backup camera? Can you make a video on how to install one? Thanks!
Check my videos. I have one up!
@@bgarciaink I can’t seem to find it. What is the title of the video?
Sorry it was the video where I installed the taillights. I just remembered though that the footage was scrapped because I ran into some issues. I briefly explain in the video, but it’s not a full walk through unfortunately
Oh como lo busco
Good morning I’m sorry I’m behind you but I have a quick question bro that’s a great video and I trying to do the same and my truck we have the same track and already have stereo and there Climate control but I have a hard time to find the harness for the climate control where do you buy it or how to look do you have any part number or from where you buy it
Hi, the harness can be found at 4wheelelectronics.com
thank you for the info
I enjoyed your video and was able to learn from it for my own upcoming swap to 8.4. Thanks for including the link for the harness. I just ordered the harness and control module from them. I already had the 8.4 radio and the bezel so they were the last things I needed to get started.
Should’ve got a Bluetooth transmitter
Did you remove the battery prior removing the stock radio?
I usually always disconnect the negative terminal while I’m messing with electrical stuff
What about camera? Can you move it from the mirror to the big radio screen?
I believe it should be possible but I’m not sure
Ima ask again cuz I see everyone asked but got no answer…where would we buy the harness for the radio and ac controls
I mentioned where I got it from @3:08 unfortunately that company is no longer in business it seems
Will this work for the 2013 tradesman models
I have a 2013 tradesmen, yes it will
Where did your order it from?
I purchased the radio off eBay but sourced other parts from different mopar parts suppliers
I did this and every time I plug the 8.4 radio the fuse blows. Any ideas of what it may be?
Not too sure about this one but I would check all the connections over at the blower motor. There’s a lot of high current going to that motor
Link to new wire harness?
I need links to ALL of it. I’ll do the work but there’s SOOOOO many unanswered questions in this video.
Can you add a backup camera to this?
Yes I did a quick video on the backup camera. I think it’s in the installing 5th gen taillights video
I had ram with 7 speed .. should I get harness and other parts?
Or just install the 8.4 screen and connect the cables only
Any answer to this? I got the 7 speed too and wanted to know if i need the harness
Does this have Apple Car play?
Yes it does
I have an 18 express do i do the same things as you to install th 8.4 or is there something different?
Everything should be the same for your truck. You just have to specify which ac you currently have. I had a 4 speed I think.. but when you get your harness made they’ll ask you that question
What is the part number for the 7 speed wire harness?
