    I

    not many good FM stations around here, so always used sirius. With the amazon, pandora, etc,.. lots of peeps use their phone which is usually on par with the sat signal if not more reliable. I've been debating dumping the sat radio for a while, just not done it. I would think the FM...

    8.4 radio to use with the aftermarket amps

    I seen a few DSP's that integrated well with the 8.4 and ram canbus. Just look for one that works with the bus and you should be good. I went with Maestro DSR1, it connects up pretty straight forward, and lets you keep the add-ons that run through the stock stereo. Kind of ****** on the...

    Speaker upgrade

    Almost finished with upgrading my front to the Kappa 60csx setup in the three way config. Replaced the dash speakers with the 20mx's. Pain in the backside to wire up as the auto engineers are kinda sadistic. This eliminated the durn parallel setup come with stock. haven't upgraded the back...

    Infinity Reference REF-9633ix, Kicker 47KSC69304 or Rockford Fosgate T1693 for upgrading base 6 speaker system

    I broke the dash 3.5 away from the front door and used the ref-3032's there, they fill in the high-mids nicely up there. In the front doors, i used a primus 6510 set, with the tweeters installed in the mirror flags, really like the sound of these ones. Between the 3.5's and the tweeters brought...

    Center dash removal tips

    Guess we should have asked which dash ya had, lol. Here’s a pic of mine. And the 3rd screw I mentioned. Pretty sure I didn’t have to move the center console back to remove the dash. Careful with the screen, those are expensive. Srry for photo size, taken with phone on break

    Projection Manager (Phone Mirroring )

    I put this on my list for things down the road. It looks like what's needed for true screen use for videos and such. Not looked too deep into it, but it is on the list, so might have possibilities...

    2018 8.4 uconnect aftermarket replacement options

    I'm still new to 8.4 setup, but check out the Maestro RR. this might help with the decision on which radio and what features you can save/keep. Figure there are more that do the same thing, this is just the one i noticed first as i seen another user post about it...

    No sound out right rear speaker when adjusting fader to it but back in center it works. Installed four new alpine speakers and a infinity powered sub

    K, your amp doesn't have the channel-mode, so good there. Sounds like the 8.4 doesn't know what to do with the amp. The radio is more then likely in "non-amplified mode" and has a high-level ("speaker-level") output on the speaker wires. You're trying to switch the radios output from high...

    Dsr1 system tune help!

    This kinda depends on the setup. One of the setup questions is how to setup the factory eq (low,mid,high in the audio settings on your dash). Might check with the installer and see if they set the low as the sub control, which is one of the options. Another question is if you have an amp in...

    Speaker Swap - Kept Stock Head Unit in 2021 Ram 1500 Warlock

    i used the Rockford Fosgate DSR1 to connect up amps. It's pretty straight forward signal processor and gives you a bunch of adjustments you can make through your phone/pad. This unit also allows you to retain the stock canbus signals, re-use the stock factory wiring, and supplies a remote...

    power at rearview mirror console for dashcam?

    if you don't have the power roof, might be able to use that power as it's not being used, and if the factory connector is there. would have to also see if the fuse is installed for that path as well, but might be worth a shot. overhead console is pretty easy to remove.
