    UAQ pin out connector for backup cam, solution here!

    The radio knows the truck is in reverse. So my guess is either the camera isn’t getting power or you don’t have the connections right to receive the signal to the radio.

    UAQ pin out connector for backup cam, solution here!

    The connections at the radio are just the video signal. The camera would get its power when the reverse lights come on.

    UAQ pin out connector for backup cam, solution here!

    Not sure about the camera. Did it come with a wiring harness? Plug and play?

    UAQ pin out connector for backup cam, solution here!

    If you had/have the 3.0 radio with your backup camera in your mirror the radio harness is not populated with any pin connectors. I used an existing RC connector I had for that. I just used a pick to push them in. You also need to tap the wiring harness on the passenger side at the side dash...

    CarPlay media hub 13-17 Ram (Sold)

    I’m sorry, I didn’t get an email notification that I received a reply. I don’t have picture of it installed. I sold the truck. It’s slightly taller than the stock hub but it’s the only option if you’re installing a UAQ radio

    2018 Ram 3500 srw 6.4 motor I have serious problems

    2500 trucks are typically used for work purposes. Pretty sure if it was previously registered as commercial truck that would be why warranty restrictions would apply. Might only get the 3 year 36000 warranty which is now over.

    FYI media hub for 2018+ CarPlay

    There’s two part numbers that this new number replaces. I’m assuming they only make one now that will work with both. I couldn’t find that information. I was unsure which year they changed the style. I’ve listed the one from my 16 Ram for sale with the harness adapter so I guess it will work...

    CarPlay media hub 13-17 Ram (Sold)

    I have the UAQ CarPlay media hub that was in my 2016 Ram 1500. I “Think” it will fit 13-17 trucks but I’m not sure when they changed style. This includes the harness adapter. $50 shipped in the US. You do have to modify your console opening slightly for this to work. Confirm it will work in...

    FYI media hub for 2018+ CarPlay

    Just an FYI. I purchased my UAQ kit from infotainment.com to fit my 2016 Ram. I got another truck, 2019 classic and transferred the head unit to this truck. It had the 5” screen radio. The stock media hub in the truck is NOT compatible. You need part #68328704AD. It’s plug and play. I searched...

    Your opinion: Linkswell 10" screen or factory 8" with android auto

    I too went through this same dilemma. I had a Phoenix automotive 12.1 kit. I hated the Android interface. Mine wasn’t a fast boot either which was even more frustrating. I did purchase a complete kit from infotainment.com for my 16 Ram. Yes, I paid almost 2K for the 8.4 Nav unit but mine was...

    Ecodiesel failure theory

    I found some dude on YouTube, not sure his qualifications. This was after watching another guy who’s channel is “I do cars” He’s a parts recycler. He did a tear down on an Ecodiesel. All the main bearings went bad. Not one or two but all. The other guy went into explaining what he felt is...

    Any advice on fighting a warranty company

    I always go to a well known local oil change shop. Not jiffy lube or oil express. They can pull all my records. I’m done changing oil in my vehicles. When the indicator light comes on, I get it changed. Typically it’s around $160 because it’s an Ecodiesel. I change the fuel filter myself. Every...

    I’m an idiot! Warranty company

    I went to my local dealer that I would typically buy my Dodge or Ram vehicles from. They try not to sell any Mopar warranties anymore. They use a company called Continental Warranty Inc. They say they have less hassle getting things covered. He quoted me $2400 for a 4 year 48K. It’s almost a...
