5th Gen 8.4 UAV Radio in a 4th Gen (And Possible Surround View)

[skuppy069]

Did you try disabling ICS with alpha obd and enabling DCSD?
I think you are going to have issues with a 2015 bcm though .
I think Roman might have mentioned that in this thread .

Thanks for the info, I will give it a try.

I think you can leave ICS enable but also enable DCSD as discussed earlier .

Okay, My '18 has a screen in need of replacement, but also just got a work truck that will handle 95% of my driving needs, so the Ram is now 100% "toy". Do I gain anything with the 5th gen 8.4" over the 4th gen (I have AA/CP as a last MY of the 4th gens.) If I do, my buddy likely gets my current Head Unit for his mom's 200 (discounted, not free!).

I am interested in the surround cameras the 5th gen "enables", but from skimming about half this thread, it feels like it transitioned from the 8.4 to the 12" before I found the information I want.

Also, new job was such a pay bump, plus the gas savings, I'm pretty sure I can swing this kind of **** by the Boss, and not get murdered/take 6 months to get all the parts...

I really need some guidance here, y'all... I have a 2015 Ram Ecodiesel. I bought a nearly brand new 2019 Ram 1500 UAV unit from a guy, and I lost steering wheel controls and backup camera after I installed it. Anyway, the burgundy/maroon cable is now orphaned and free-floating, because it won't go on the red fakra spot (which I have since found out is the place the new cameras are supposed to plug in?). The white and yellow fakras went on perfectly, as would be expected.

Anyway, I am wondering if I need to replace other parts? The heat and air both work, but it isn't showing the temperature or anything in the truck. I know I need to change the media hub in the armrest box, but which one do I need? Should I get the latest one, or should I get the one for the UAQ? I'm super confused about that.

My truck already had the 8.4 VP4 Harman unit, but I don't know what else I need to do to get this up and running properly. I'm going to check after leaving it sit overnight to see if anything changed. Not sure if that still applies in my situation, though. If anyone has any advice for me, I'd greatly appreciate it. I keep seeing stuff about changing BCM, adapters for the media hub, a new media hub, etc. I'm kind of confused with all of the conflicting info.

I think of all of my questions, the most important one is: Which year BCM should I get for the UAV??

Did you figure out how to get the steering wheel buttons working? I have a 2013 and I’m in the same boat. The unit works but the buttons for the radio on the back of the ateeering wheel won’t work. The out side temp is stuck in Celsius too. Any suggestions ?

Does anyone have a pin out for the 6 plug and the 8 plug media hub? I just want to make my own. Thanks in advance!

No it's not posted. Message me if you'd like to get one.
