If you missed it, I answered your question in the other thread too ...
No one that has upgraded to a 13-17 8.4 radio that didn't come in their truck from the factory has been allowed by FCA to use their uConnect service (except 2 or 3 people with the needed FCA connections to get it added at the higher WiC level). Adding the Ra4 sales code doesn't help.

The FCA 'Guardian' service for 18+ is expected to be the same.
That's 4-5 years of people trying

I looked and didn’t see anything. Is there a Harness to hide a media hub behind he dash? I currently have a 12V behind the dash, but rather use the media hub as I like the use of the media hub with my iPhone. Either in form of a splitter would be better.

Hard to give a concrete answer ...

13-18 radios all have Bluetooth built in.

Adding the 18 UAS or UAQ radio to an 18 truck may require a different HVAC control module than we were using in the 13-17 trucks or possibly a blend door recalibration (not getting full blend door travel w/13-17 hvac module). Reported by Gibbs. Awaiting feedback.

13 -17 Ra4 vp4-NA in a 2018 truck appears to work ... but may give the Service Cellular System error message (normally cancelled using a Cell Bypass plug). Reported by @Gibbs and @Buckeye2019 .
Not sure if adding the 2017-18 911/assist mirror (w/o mics) or actual sharkfin antenna will correct it yet.

The 17 & 18 trucks normally have the mics in the headliner above the front seats (not in the mirror). The wiring is routed differently and can't easily use a 13-16 mirror with mics. If your truck has the mics your in good shape to upgrade. Otherwise, your going to have to do some legwork to get em in there.

Handsfree will require adding the VR/Phone button to the wheel. I'm not sure if the 13-17 PN is the same for 2018 trucks or not.

Maybe others can elaborate/help fill in some details since there still seems to be some things to work out on the 18 trucks.

5/1 to 5/17 : ( Mpgrimm2) I'm taking time off for my 16 yr anniversary and won't be taking any new orders (still working the ones I have).

DeereGuy will still be available for his projects and 8.4 Conversion harnesses.

Happy Anniversary, man! Is the preferred way to commission something from either of you to PM directly or just post here? I'm doing the 8.4 upgrade 7spd and will need the conversion harness & 911 bypass, standard length pref.

Hi everyone!

Deereguy and I decided to start a little side project to help out our fellow members with various wiring harnesses and mods for some of the smaller projects and threads around the 4th Gen section for our 2013+ trucks.

Each of us will be focusing on specific projects as listed in the next 4-5 posts.

We are calling our joint venture: M² Mods

For now, contact us via PM (with your email & truck specifics so we can send you all the details) . Thank you in advance.

I have a 2018 Laramie that came with the 8.4 display and the backup camera in the tailgate but did not come with the Cargo cam and I need to add that, I already acquired the nice factory LED CHMSL unit with the Camera in it, Part #68163937AJ, so now I just need a harness that goes fro the cargo camera up to where ever it needs to go to plug into the back of the factory 8.4 head unit. And yes, I know I will then also need to get a dealer to turn on the camera option in the computer but first things first. My 2018 model doesn't use the camera in the mirror (I noticed you had one of those setups listed above), on mine both cameras are displayed on the main 8.4 screen with icons to swap between them. I think the CHMSL end is the same on both versions but don't know if the other end is different since on a 2018 it connects to the main display instead of the mirror.

Can you guys help?
