I called them earlier last week but they weren't in yet. I'll call them in the morning and order mine. This will get me working until the official 8.4 bezel is figured out. Looks nice!
Using the factory 8.4 bezel is kind of the holy grail. It's not plug and play, and no one has really been able to pull it off 100%. There is a huge thread on another site, and one I started here as well. To put it simply the climate plug is different and will not work.
Major page update! I like that rotary MUCH better. The switch isn't terrible, but rotary is just natural for volume control. Looks like mid February targeted release. I will definitely make this purchase.
They updated the page today to say they are working on a rotary option instead of the rocker switch. If they did that I am much more inclined to get one. Add some of the additional buttons and I may be sold.
After reading and re-reading for all of this to soak in I have two questions.
1) rherman1: Is there a part number for the 911 mirror?
2) cptwing: Did you have to run the jumper cable when you installed the shark fin antenna?
Anyone notice they updated the page with a more finished looking product? They are now offering two flavors, one with and one without the rocker switch. Without is half the price.
I am with you on this. Why did they not just do the rest of the controls? I am happy to see someone make an attempt at it though. I am very interested if I can't get the original OEM 8.4 setup going. I ordered the AC module and just need to get my hands on the 8 pin wire. My truck doesn't have...
Wow, you guys have come a long way into doing a full conversion. This is what I had hoped would happen when I first posted this thread. The wiring harness is still a mystery so I hope someone can shed some light. With that said, the center console media hub that contains USB, SD, and Aux is PN...
The base unit is the RA3 and an upgrade to the RA4. RA3 does not come with Nav but can be upgraded. The RA4 has a superior nav with terrain and traffic as well as an HD radio receiver.
I have heard this before. I'll hang on to mine and see where that goes. If they get it going I may go ahead and install it. I do wonder about the map updates though. Does anyone know how they will be applied? SD card? USB? Not all trucks have the disk player. 5.0 systems don't have the SD card...
I still don't think there is a solid upgrade path. The bezel harness is different and I haven't tracked any of that info down yet. If you can live with the current limitations its almost plug and play. That's not good enough for me personally so I haven't bothered putting mine in yet. My other...
I still haven't tried yet. It really looks like there is a different wiring harness but I don't know for sure. Just what I have seen on tech authority makes it look like its a different wire. I'm on the fence about whether I'm going to attempt it further and may sell the parts I collected. I'm...
I am sitting on an 8.4AN with the climate bezel but the climate harness is not compatible. While looking at the wiring diagram it seems there is a different setup but I never got very far. Jeepguy was going to look at it but may he RIP. I'm also considering trading mine for a truck with more...
I updated to iOS 8 and have a noticeable improvement in BT audio streaming. I haven't had a chance to compare it to USB yet but I was very surprised today on the way home from work.
