Hello all,

first post and if this has already been discussed I apologize. I searched but couldn't find an answer. Anyway I have a 2016 Ram 1500 with the Uconnect 5.0 I believe and I wanted to upgrade to an aftermarket but I want to retain the factory backup camera and I didn't know what Head Units will support the harness or if there was a adapter that would make it universal. And any suggestions on head units would be great. Would like DVD/NAV/SiriusXM etc. And Iphone interface would be nice and to keep steering wheel controls as well. thanks

just an FYI if you are taking out an aftermarket to go to a 8.4 the sound will change terribly. an 8.4 will never match the sound and power of an aftermarket

The quality of the sound will change? or the amplifier specs?

Metra makes a harness for the truck so does maestro. I know the metra retains backup cam. It has like ....6523 nav in the model number.

8.4 owner here, I would agree with this to an extent. With a DSP, you can work the sound and while I will tell you the 8.4 is one of the better sounding factory radios on the market, it does not compare to aftermarket. I know for me, the 8.4 will be replaced sooner or later with aftermarket.
