The code is unique and specific to the radio and would cost you whatever the upgrade cost again.

Yes you can make that swap. 2011 Nav radios are a 730N RHR, biggest benefit is the '11+ has Bluetooth and built in U-connect. If you want to keep the SiriusXM you need an antenna splitter. I did the install into my '09 sport that didn't come with Nav and if you can find a High Speed RHR for a good price jut check out this place to pick up the parts required to install it.

You "should" have an RER in your truck now. If I remember correctly, the only radio option with nav available in 2009 was the RER. As stated, an RHR is the updated version. You can also install a 2011\2012 430N RHB which also has nav(Garmin based). It uses an external uConnect module, so if your truck doesn't already have it, (the RER has an internal uConnect module), you would need to get that kit also, 2009\2010 use separate antenna for satellite and nav, 2011\2012 use what is called an SDARS antenna, does both. The good news is you can pick one up relatively cheap, 2011 ram SDARS antenna - Mopar part # 05064908AA.
