Well, lately I unsuccesfully attempted to swap my RA1 for an RA2.

After putting the RA1 back in, my sirius does not work. Pulled the radio back out, check the connectors, antenna side is OK. The radio side (male side) is broken, the pin in the middle fell out.

I've been searching the interwebs for days on end, can't find any repair parts.
Local electronics repair shop says he can't get parts for factory radios.

Am I screwed and have to live without The Highway and Octane?

Thanks y'alls

its not worth fixing, imo. swap it out for another radio. why was your RA2 swap unsuccessful?

Volume button would refuse to function. Plugged it back into the donor truck, worked like a charm. Stealership and FCA Canada was stumped at the problem as well
