I’m looking to upgrade from this 5” to the 2019 shown below. Will the new style bezel work, or do I need a new one? What else do I need to purchase to get this to work? I’ve seen a few other threads but I can’t find any info on the bezel itself is the heat sink in the picture the nav unit? Would the radio work without that, I could just use nav on my phone IMG_0588.jpeg

You likely don't want that specific 2019 radio (from 5th gen Ram). You want a 4th gen Ram radio either 8.4 UAQ (with NAV) or 8.4 UAS (without NAV).
