So, I got My 2017 RA4 with Nav in yesterday, and I can say I am mighty impressed.
One issue though...when turn by turn voice commands come on, it is not fully muting the music playing, and You can't hear the voice prompts. Any suggestions?
My 16 does not mute the music. When the nav is talking you can adjust the volume. I'm sure there is a way to adjust in the settings too, but I have never done it that way.
I stand corrected Sir .2 things, the radio doesn't lower the volume of music, it outputs NAV volume on driver front speaker but leaves the music volume the same on all other speakers. When connected with Bluetooth, you will only see information for the current song. There won't be a list of selectable songs unless the phone is physically connected and/or you use a USB/SD.

The part number on my 8.4" RA4 is 68270661AE
Hope this is the info you were looking for
Just called the company that Chrysler uses for maps on their radios..... took about 30 seconds with the VIN number from donor vehicle.... got the original navigation access code and Navigation is now back on the radio!!!
Company is called H.E.R.E. or a spelling similar ..... phone number is 1-866-462-8837.... they didn't have a menu option for my issue so I just pressed 4 and spoke with someone as if I had an "order" and told the person my issue..... they are Monday-Friday 8am-? Definitely easier to call this company than deal with dealer.... dealer said they had no way of getting old activation code and would require a new one, but Chrysler charges them $550 for that....
2013 Ram2500 - Well folks I verified the 7spd harness was correct. Did the install of all the components to upgrade to the 8.4RA4 radio and factory bezel. Good news is I have heated & cooled seats
Bad news is I have no audio what soever on my radio. No FM, XM, Blutooth, NAV talking , Cell audio :-( I see what the volume is set to when I hit the mute button but no control via dash or steering wheel volume controls. ****. Not quite sure where to go from here just yet. Yep I'm all ears...
Well I ran out of time after the install as we had a dinner engagement. (truck sat for 4 or 5 hours) I was a bit bummed having the heated & cooled seats working but no radio volume. I think I had a total of 4 key start stop cycles with the same result (tried NAV but no luck). I came home from dinner and went out to move the truck and Whalaa!!! Houston we have volume control!!!
We'll see if tomorrow the radio remembers it worked For tonight I'll go to sleep a happy man
So, I got My 2017 RA4 8.4AN installed in My 2015 Express.
All the things that I thought I was going to have a problem with, worked!
Nav works perfect
Turn By Turn in 7" evic
Voice commands
Text to talk
Apps
Tells Me when I'm speeding...
Weather and Traffic
However, two things aren't working that perturb Me.
It won't populate a list of songs from My Bluetooth device, and I have no SDcard option available on the radio.
Anyone?

All MY13-16 vehicles sold in the U.S. with the RA3 or RA4 radio can now receive software
updates “over-the-air”. Updates to software level 17.11.07 will occur in a phased roll-out.
The software is updated through the built-in cellular modem in the radio which is
connected to the Sprint® 3G network. Customers will see a notification on their radio
screen when new software is available for their radio (Fig. 1). The owner will have the
option to update the radio or schedule the update for later. There is not an option to
decline the update indefinitely. The update must be performed.
NOTE: This is an information only TSB to help the customers understand how they
can perform their FOTA update. This document does not contain a LOP for
reimbursement.
