Hi I’m new to this forum. I have the ra2 radio in my 2013 ram 1500 and I wanna get a aftermarket radio because my radio is acting up what harness do I need for this? I have steering wheel controls too if someone could point me in the right direction that would be awesome thanks

I just did RA2 to aftermarket in my 2014. Since I'm on a budget, I went with 6.8inch screen aftermarket and kept my current bezel and AC controls, then just use iDatalink Maestro to enable steering wheel controls and oem car features. Go to Crutchfield.com they have it all.

With most any aftermarket you do have to use the aftermarket mic and satellite antenna don't you? Just curious I'm still torn on what to do

Yes, I had to use the aftermarket Mic. Not sure about Sat antenna, as I just use google maps and SiriusXM app via Android Auto on my phone.
