I have a 2018 Challenger Scat Pack and a 2018 Ram Rebel . A few months back the stereo started randomly switching stations and now my Rebel is doing the same . I tried to order a new one for the truck and was told they are on Backorder with no available shipping date . Same on the Challenger . Has anyone been able to order and receive a new one ? What are my options ? My understanding is because they both control so many things there are no aftermarket options .

I'm assuming you have the 8.4 stereos, right? A lot of the 2018s had the "ghost touch" problems when the adhesive in the screens began to melt. There are lots of threads here about it so use the search function. You can repair or replace the screen yourself, send it to a company that repairs them, buy one from Mopar if you want to wait, or buy an aftermarket stereo with more capabilities than the 8.4. Crutchfield.com has plenty of replacement stereos/infotainment centers depending on what you want. If you have the steering wheel radio controls, the iDataLink Maestro can be added to the aftermarket stereo to retain that function and even adds more functions.

I replaced the screen in my 2018 Challenger in 30 min. Super easy. Got an OEM LG screen I think it was $265 from OEAutoTronics
