Is it a simple plug and play to switch from the standard 3 knob A/C controls to the A/C controls with buttons without dual climate control? The 3 knob is just so basic and plain! I will have an aftermarket radio

do you have a 2012 Ram or a 2015? Your sig says 2012, but if you have a 2013+ then you would basically have to do the RA3/4 Swap with all the parts except the radio.

It'll be for the 2015 that I buy in the next couple months.

Dang, I was hoping it would be plug and play.

Basically what you would need is one of the custom harness', im out of them right now but someone else might or you can make your own, the bezel and the control box. Cost would probably be $200 to do the swap.

That's not TOO bad to make the interior a bit more advanced. I'll keep my eye out for some of the needed objects. Thanks bro

What radio are you going with? I don't believe there's a radio bezel adapter for the 8.4 opening. You'll have to make a custom one.

Look in the DIY section in the 5.0 to 8.4 radio thread also a guy I think getupkid might be making harnesses for guys you will have to check the thread. The dual zone won't actually work though. Part numbers and wiring schematics are there
