Was there someone that 3D printed a filler panel for the compass media hub to go into the full length consoles of pre-2017 models? I'm leaning towards the compass hub to avoid chopping up my console.
Who is it here that has the standard cab that came from the factory with a UAQ / UAS? I'm pretty sure I remember @Mpgrimm2 mentioning it one time.
When I first started this, I reached out to Infotainment and asked to buy the hub and cable. They told that they wouldn't sell just those parts, that I would have to buy the entire system. Glad I found this site and didn't...They almost got me
That reminds me, I need to see if that Genie is on their buy-back list...
Mpgrimm2 asked me if I'd be willing to do one and I am (I've designed a couple of other 3D printed parts for our trucks) but I don't have a UAx radio, the appropriate hub or a full length center console so I need someone to provide me with access to the hub and console for detailed measurements. I had a person who was supposed to be loaning me a hub and providing measurements of the console opening, but it hasn't happened yet. If someone who lived relatively close, say, someone with Albany, NY in their profile location... , wanted to meet up and let me get measurements, we might be able to get something going.

Yeah...I think they could have a helluva good thing going if they combined the hub, with the filler panel, and the cable sold by Mpgrimm2 into a nice little package deal.

Seems like their loss. I'm sure they get people on the hook that do little research; however, they could really appeal to the DIY'er here by boxing build your own kits. Not every truck is the same, and not every truck owner has the same skill set as the next...as quite evident by the great feedback on this forum.

Well it took most of the afternoon to read these 80 pages and I must say I am intrigued about this radio upgrade. It seems the issues I am most concerned about is the poor backup camera quality and the uncertainty of which HVAC module to use. Neither that big of a deal, but does it offset the ability to have Android Auto? That's the struggle I'm having. My truck is a 2016 2500 Bighorn with 8.4 Uconnect w/o nav and dual climate control. I'll continue to "research" this upgrade hoping it will sway me one way or the other.
