    Replacement Armrest USB module for aftermarket radio

    Its interesting that CarPlay is working with your URAM. From everything I have read online it seems very hit and miss. Some people have got it to work with CarPlay and some people have not (e.g. Crutchfield has a ton of complaints saying that it doesn’t work for car . I’m not sure why.

    Yes it is. Still need to dial in the printer a little more, but it’s getting there.

    Replacement Armrest USB module for aftermarket radio

    Unfortunately the URam doesn’t work for a lot of people. For example, the circuit board and port layout in the ~2018 tradesman trucks isn’t compatible with it. Also, CarPlay isn’t supported.

    Replacement Armrest USB module for aftermarket radio

    I have been working a solution for getting USB ports into the armrest for use with after market radios that won’t work with the hub. I removed the USB hub, replaced with this module and ran usb extensions from the aftermarket radio into the arm rest to connect to the two male plugs on this...

    I’ve seen that video. Didn’t work on my 2018. The KENWOOD displays USB hub unsupported when connected to the factory USB port.

    I haven’t come across a viable solution. Idatalink makes URAM which replaces the usb hub circuit board but it doesn’t fit the 2018 usb hub. Even if it did, many people have trouble getting carplay to work with it.

    I just installed a KENWOOD DMX905s in my ‘18 today. Got it for $350. I originally wanted the DDX9905s for the better screen, but after looking at them side by side I decided it wasn’t worth the extra $300 (especially since I didn’t want a CD player and motorized screen). Only headache is...

    Has anyone solved the USB to center console problem yet?

    Did you ever solve this problem? I want to change my stereo and retain the armrest USB as well!

    5.0 RA2 swap for 5.0 RA2

    I’ve been considering this conversion. Where does the mic go? I have the backup camera in the rear view.

    Aftermarket radio to 2018 USB Hub

    Maybe they changed the design but didn’t update the pictures? In the 2018 there are two USB ports separated by the aux jack in the middle. I’ve read reviews that the URAM didn’t support CarPlay? Can anyone confirm?

    Aftermarket radio to 2018 USB Hub

    I want to upgrade my RA1 to the Alpine ILX-F309 with CarPlay. I would like to continue using the USB port in the center console but have read numerous threads about it not being easy to do because that port is actually a USB hub of some sort. There used to be a replacement circuit board called...

    2018 RA1 takes forever to connect to iPhone

    I have a 2018 with the RA1 radio. Whenever I try to connect my iPhone to the radio via the usb in the center console it takes forever! I get a “Loading Media” message on the radio for 2-3 minutes before it works. I have tried brand new USB cables from Apple. Completely new installs of iOS on the...
