Hey has anyone successfully done a CarPlay in their truck? It kinda sucks that rams don't come with the 8.4 uconnect but in chystler, dodge and jeep they have them. Not sure if it's an easy swap or impossible?

The only FCA vehicles that have the UAQ/UAS radios are 2017 charger, challengers and 300s. 2017 ram/ jeep still use Harmon as the manufacturer. The UAQ/UAS is made by Panasonic and I've tested one in my truck, it's almost compatible but there are still some bugs. There is also no UAQ with the mounting bracket the ram uses, unlike the Harmon units the mounting bracket is cast into the shell of the radio vs removable.
