The 2018 and 2019 classic ones are nice bit the P for the park position blinks when in park, the rest of the gears and features show and work fine as far as I know. (I've installed every year except 2019(yet) on my 2014 Big Horn 1500)

What instill don't know is if I could program the mileage on a diesel cluster plugged into mine lol, haven't dared to :D
It should work no issues. Also, I programmed a 2019 cluster in my 2014 for someone.

The going rate for premium clusters at every salvage yard I've seen is $150-$165 shipped. I've never paid more than that from 2014-2019...

Yeah there's no issues just the fact that I mentioned about the P, and you sir are very lucky for not having to pay more then 165 shipped, I have not been that lucky myself.

I'm in Canada and have 2017 Ram 1500 - 7 speed Fan model and have obtained:
  • 8.4 Uconnect Radio VP3-CA / p/n: 682270664AD
  • 8.4 bezel 1UJ97DX9A (I can obtain 1UJ96DX9AE if better)
  • A/C Heater Module P68236772AB

1. Are there any Canadian options to purchase a conversion harness?

OR

2. For DIY route:
  • Is this the diagram I follow for my setup? https://www.flickr.com/photos/150847015@N08/34906198204/?
  • I have salvaged the 3 required connector shells (8 pin to hvac bezel, 24 pin to existing truck harness and 24 pin to hvac module) which all have wires and pins in them. Can I get new male, female connector pins and reuse them?
  • Mouser has 10K minimum purchase amounts for 'TE Connectivity' parts: 1393366-1, AMP 1123343-1, AMP 1376109-1

Yes that diagram will work or you can get one of my harnesses. Send me a message for details if interested. (Click on my avatar profile & start conversation).

PS: it's a pain to get the pins back out of the connectors once installed... If the Pigtails are long enough, you'd be better off splicing in wires/extending then to where they go at each connector.
Post any additional 8.4 upgrade questions in the 8.4 upgrade thread...

I have a 2017 Ram 1500 Canadian and got a UCQ 68331632AH from a salvage ward. I was able to upgrade the software to 22.6 posted in the beginning of this thread. I’m I little surprise to see 4G bars and WiFi Hotspot options I thought Canadian trucks did not get these features. It also informed me that I needed to activate uConnect Guardian for some of the apps I tried.

Could someone host or point me to UCONNECT_8.4AN_RA3_17.11.07_MY13 (2013 Ram 1500). I can get the RA4 but it is not compatible. I need it to upgrade to 18.xx

Thanks in advance.

Are you sure you have a 2013 vs a 2014 pn radio?
Do you have a picture of the back of your radio with the Model (VP3-NA) and PN (xxxxxxxAx)?

No pic of back. RA4 S/W is not compatible (says it isn't on upgrade screen)

To my knowledge all US files end with NAFTA, Canadian files end with NAFTA-CA.
You need to confirm series and model number. Maybe the info can be found in dealer menu.

8.4AN is for RA4, 8.4A is for RA3 so something doesn’t make sense. You need to confirm model either by pulling the radio out of the dash or going into dealer mode.

Already answered, it’s in post #9 in the beginning of this thread.
