So i found a 8.4 and a new bezel for a great price on Craigslist!! Question is, I know there is threads, but I am wondering is it at all plug and play? Guy seems to think so....

I have a 2015 Ram Black Edition, has the 5in. in it now, back up cam, and i Believe a 7 speed blower. If I buy the screen and bezel, what else do i need?

Thanks!

I think it should have rear camera, USB, remote start FM and nav antennas & the T harness connections

You will need a 7 speed conversion harness, bypass plug and the correct HVAC module for a factory 7 speed truck.

. . See below to make your own in standard or extended length
. . (or get one from: M² Mods )

Shoot me a PM with your email/truck specifics and I can send you details on how to get a harness from us. It's basically plug n play for the conversion.
