Look into an iDataLink 'Maestro' interface and a compatible radio (for your 2014 truck?). I like pioneer, but from what I've seen posted Kenwood radios seem to work better with the maestro.When replacing the factory head unit with an aftermarket, how does one access the vehicle related settings that are set from the head unit?
I currently have the RA2 radio and I can't stand how small the screen is when looking at the backup camera. I'm looking to either change to the RA3 radio or a good aftermarket head unit that'll allow for an easy transition. Can anyone advise me where to go to get a gently used RA3 radio? Or suggest a good aftermarket alternative?
Ideally you want to maximize the amp to run it at 1 ohm. Look at the the link below to see what woofer configuration you need to get to those specs.
Can't comment on the 2017 with 100% certainly yet (need to get access to the schematics), but on the 2013-2016 trucks it is definitely a yes. I don't believe anything significant has changed electrically other than another 3.0 uconect radio option.Would a swap from a uconnect 3.0 to a uconnect 5.0 be just a swap? I'm looking for the touch screen capabilities as well as the larger display and would like to keep it factory as I don't have complaints on the sound. 2017 1500

You should likely be able to add in the steering wheel audio, VR Phone buttons, mirror with mics, etc too (or maybe even the 8.4 radio).
Hopefully someone with better access can confirm it, or you could be the first to try it!

Can you post a picture of your radio? Sounds like you have the new for 2017 uConnect 3.0.Conveniently I have the vr and call buttons. Just no audio controls. And mic is next to the visor. It would be nice if it will work. I don't need anything to fancy like the 8.4. Hoping to snag a uconnect 5.0 when someone upgrades to the 8.4

If you do swap to a uConnect 5.0, it should be a direct swap.
Also please let me know the PN of the 5.0 radio you get, especially if it's from a 2017 truck because I'm tracking the PNs in my thread ...
