    2016 Radio swap

    I have a 2016 Ram Big Horn with an 8.4 3C w/ Navigation radio but I want to upgrade to an 8.4 4C. My local salvage yards never have any in inventory, i'm not sure they even sell radios retail. 1. Is this a direct swap, plug and play? 2. Does anyone know of a good place to purchase an 8.4 from?

    Ram aux switch panel

    Ram aux switch panel

    I have a 2016 Ram 1500 Big Horn and I want to add the aux buttons to my factory switch panel. Can you tell me which part number I need and do you have one? Is it necessary to replace the entire panel or can I remove the lower blanks and just add the switches. I can not post photos so I will...
