saw this on another forum.

anyone seen/heard/used this unit? I'd have to assume (hope) it keeps all the OEM EVIC related functions like trailer brakes, air suspension, HVAC, etc.

It absolutely does not support any factory functions. Not worth the money IMO. Do you have the RA1 or RA2 radio now?

Similar discussion going on here that is worth your time.

Options:
Alpine X009 and iData Maestro huge $$

If you have the RA1, the RA2 is plug & play, supports the factory backup camera kit, and has built in Bluetooth. But you still need to add the mirror mic/harness to make calls, and the phone/Vr buttons to the steering wheel if you want those.

You can also do the 8.4 conversion with an RA3/VP3-NA (no Nav or HD radio) or a Canadian RA4/VP4-CA (HD Radio, US Maps, no uConnect apps) for less $$ than the USA RA4/VP4-NA radio (Has Nav,Hd radio & apps, but uConnect won't let us connect for app access anyway)

Mine came with the RA1 as well and I upgraded to the RA4, with tailgate cam, cargo cam, turn signal activated blind spot mirror cams and a front cam. The RA4 works just like factory with Bluetooth and all along with all the factory steering wheel buttons and 8.4 RA4 onscreen hvac controls.

But if you want aftermarket PNP look at the alpine X009-Ram.

I've been tempted to buy this, factory look, lots of features and good price. You go first and let me know how it is. Lol..

I bought one. Haven't installed it since I haven't bought my new truck yet. It has great reviews and has a lot of great features!
