If anyone want's to share/pm me a VIN for 2014, 2015, and 2016 trucks with factory RA2's I will see about keeping track of the fw versions. (I have a 2013 Vin from my truck).
Just thought I would start a thread for related info about the 2013 - 2017 RA2 radios for those that upgrade from the RA1...
Here's the basics of what we know currently:
Previous experience is that all the 4th Gen 2013-2017 RAM RA2 radios should all be interchangeable, but it's best to match the year or as close as possible.
* Most RA2's do not require a 4 digit unlock code when moved to a new vehicle, but some do. It'***** or miss. You can get the code from the seller, a dealer (may need original vehicle Vin & radio SN), or online at https://www.carstereocode.com/unlock.php?mk=8 , NavRepair.com or similar sites ($15 or less).
Per confirmation by forum members with factory RA2's ...

Confirmed:
* 2013-2014 (MY13-MY14) RA2's use the same software.
My guess (if it follows the RA4's) :
* 2015 (MY15) RA2's will have their own Sw.
* 2016 (MY16) RA2's will have their own Sw.
* 2017's are looking a bit screwy so far with the different uConnect 3.0 (RA?) vs uConnect 5.0 (Ra2) ?
I just need some RA2 VINs for 2015 and up. If anyone has some they want to share, PM me.
