Is this nav unlock a scam?

[ivey_usmc]

There is this ******* a Ram site on facebook. She claims to have the unlock code for the nav and she is selling it for $200 via paypal. I know the unlock at the stealership is $500 so this would be a great savings. Does this sound like a scam or could it be legit? There are already a few people on there saying it works but im kind of skeptical.

These people who say the code works could be in cahoots with her

I know you have to give them the request code off your radio in order to get the nav activation code..... I'm sure they are somehow random, so if she has a code I would think it has to be only good for whatever radio she gave them the request code to originally.

If you try it make sure you use a credit card thru paypal so you can shut it down if it is a scam.....

You should know the results right away if the radio accepts the code or not.

Good thinking. Thanks!

Make sure to post up your results if you decide to try it.

A buddy works at the stealership. I was hoping to have him whip the scan tool out and unlock mine when I get my LOF one day. He said its all third party and currently is no way around it. They plug in at the dealer, get codes/info and send to third party (garmin) and they do the rest. Its unfortunate.

I wouldn't pay first. Id say something along the lines "I'll pay $250, only after the Nav is installed".

What are you hoping to unlock on the nav ?

You unlock the navigation on a unit that didn’t come with navigation from the factory. To OP: would be seriously skeptical of this.

I think there is a place that sells it for $285 and is reputable. Realistically I think it's a calculation based on your VIN. That is how most car codes are. If she figured it out - then $200 is a quick way for her to make easy money.

The stealership charged me $599 to activate mine. That was a definite scam IMO. But then so is that company. Never buy from Larry H Miller! Both his Ram and Jeep dealerships conspired to screw me over on the sale. But I got a decent deal on the truck due to all the Chrysler rebates and discounts.

On my Jeep I had a bad UConnect right off. The Nav unit wanted me to drive in circles. They had to get all the numbers from the radio and order one. They said Uconnect won't let them stock the units. Bizarre, but the service mgr where I bought it was a good guy. I showed him my blower when it was first installed. He said nice job, and unless it was something he just couldn't run past Chrysler, I would have no warranty hassles with him.

Don't know about this girl with the code, but it sounds suspect to me...

Please tell me a legit site that does it for $285 cheapest I have found is 399.99

Sorry to bring back an older thread but just wanted to pass along some info in case someone is looking to activate their nav. I just bought (today) the code and activated the nav on my RA3 ('17 2500 Ram). I paid $330 which I thought was fair. It was from a vendor on ebay, he responded within a half hour with the activation code. His listing has the price of $350 but with "make an offer" button. I offered the 330 which he accepted. You may even get more off. If anyone wants the info will be glad to pass along, PM me.

PS...I have NO connection with the vendor, just a happy camper

For anyone that is interested, send me a PM with your email for a verified Nav activation for about the same as mentioned in the OP.

First off, it's not the "stealership" and it's not a scam at 599, that's MSRP. Second if you pay with PayPal as goods and services you have protection third please support our forum members before some random on eBay or somewhere else. I had mine done through a website for 425 vs the 599 it worked fine however the issue was when I had the touchscreen replaced under warranty they didn't have the sales code in the Chrysler system for it so the replacement didn't have it. I got the dealer to add it as they agreed it had nav when it came in..... But had they not and I got it for the pricing talked about on here I'd still be ahead in this situation
