Help Identify Radio - 2016 VP4 NA
Hi All,
Did my friend a favor.. He did not have cash. He had found a radio with the code on Ebay and asked me to order it for him. Then asked me to hold it until he had the money... Here we are a few months later and still no money. I want to sell it but...
I have to say... I was initially disappointed at my average gas mileage when I bought my Rebel. I was getting 11.5 to 12.2 City MPG... I was living in South Florida by Fort Lauderdale.
I them moved to Central Florida by Ocala. In no time my MPG jumped to 17+ City MPG.
I guess all that...
VIN tied to Radio FIXED!!!!!!
UPDATE!!!!!! VIN and Radio tied together FIXED!!!!!
Took me a week and 4 calls but I was able to get Uconnect / Mopar to tie my new radio with my trucks VIN number. Now my Uconnect and Mopar accounts show My truck and VIN with the correct Radio.
Here is how to do...
I was in the Car Audio industry for over 20 years. I personally have never had a T-Tap fail. That being said. I have seen lots done by other installers fail. Over 90% were guys using Blue taps on 18 AWG wire and smaller. Others were the wire was not in the correct spot when they squeezed it...
I am in the process of buying a new house and moving. Once I get into the new house and get my workshop built we will get into the next phase. We will will talk audio processors and building a kick ass sound system based off the factory head unit. I hope you guys find this a helpful read... :grd:
Here is a short video of it playing. It was really sunny so it looks a little washed out in the video.

Using the Micca Spek G2 Media Player.
First plug what ever storage you are using into the Micca Spek G2. I am using a 64GB Sandisk USB 2.0 Flash Drive
When you want to use the extra Aux Audio and Video input of the Rax harness they need to be selected individually.
Once your radio starts...
Installing the Media player is very easy. I had already plugged the Composite Audio Video cable into the Rax Jailbreak Harness when I installed the Rax harness. I ran the wire down the right side of the radio down to the front right side panel on the console.
All we need to take off today is...
Alright let's talk other parts we need to do this install. I want to hide the media player, so we will need an infared repeater, a 5 volt 2 amp power supply, a USB power cable, T-tap Connectors, Tie wraps and Velcro Tabs.
First we need to tap into an accessory Power and Ground. The easiest way...
Now for the Media Player....
I wanted something small that played a large variety of files. I chose the Micca Speck G2. It is $40 on Amazon here: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008NO9RRM/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
You can find this same player on Ebay from China for as...

First thing I did...
Now we are on to the Customtronix Jailbreak.
First I have to say that Magnus and the guys at Customtronix are good people. They respond quickly and are always there to answer questions and help.

Once I put the Ugraded 68258671AH head unit in the first thing I did was upgrade the firmware to the latest version. 16.33.29

Thank you Mpgrimm2 for that thread!

Ok, Got quite a bit done today. Jailbreak and Media Player are in.. Here we go..
First I would like to mention a few things. As I had mentioned before, anyone swapping out your factory radio for an upgraded model must note that your VIN is tied to the factory radio that comes with your Truck...
I am using this model.
