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

[skuppy069]

So if the new radios can be installed in our trucks would the 12 inch radio work if it fitted etc ?

It should theoretically be possible. I've been toying around with that idea, too.

Mmmm let the mind games begin

I've come real close to picking up a gen 4 center stack for cheap to hack up on the off chance I get my hands on a 12 inch screen.

I have a fourth gen Centre stack on hand .
I would need the screen to try it out
What’s the 12 screen part number ?

Sub'd...if I come across parts I'll let you guys testing this out know.

I would have had a loaner UAS for you to try a week ago but I sold it recently once all of my problems were fixed...

It’s going slow, frustrating. Minor progress, though-
I sent some stuff over to Roman217 for him to try out, but we’re chipping away at it.

Very cool! Definitely looks promising!

I should hopefully get the UAQ by the end of the week and I will be able to continue testing. I think I'm going to order the mirrors this week as well.

@Jimmy07 Thanks for sending me the CVPMs to test with.

The good news, the Pacifica CVPM does show up on the RA4 but the soft keys don't work but I didn't expect them to.


So the 360 degree view would work though I was not able to get he grid lines to show up for the rearview camera but I did pretty limited testing with it. I am also testing with a 2015 RA4 so maybe the 2016+ plus RA4s would have better luck.

I am waiting for my UAQ to continue testing with the RAM HD CVPM.

EDIT:
Just got word that Infotainment/NavRepair was able to unbrick my UAQ and fix the water damage (main board and destroyed wireless card) it suffered in the donor truck. Now the I get to impatiently wait for it to get back to MI.

Thanks to @skuppy069, I get the chance to play around with the UAX in my Gen4. First impressions, this thing is massive. More to come as the rest of the parts come in this week.

 

[Roman217]

We'll, the screen can definitely be convinced to fit the 4th gen center with only a little bit of overhang at the top.

Still a ton of work left to do to make it complete but I got the cuts made to get it to fit into the bezel. There is still a lot of fine tuning that needs to happen.

Roman has done a lot with the programming to get the HVAC bezel to work in our trucks
We have had a few logging sessions to get the can messages sorted

Awesome job. If you are up to it, this would be a great video post for others. I am happy with my 8.4 upgrade, but.....

Once jimmy got the uav to work it made me try this and Roman was able to show it could fit it was time to try
My first attempt I messed up a bezel and had too get another

 

[skuppy069]

I think if I did this again I would have my screen up a bit higher
Less cutting of other materials in truck

 

[chrisbh17]

Do these units have actual real wireless Android Auto and/or CarPlay?

Shoutout to @chrisbh17 for dealing with all of my C/C++ questions. With your input, we should be able to make HVAC controls (and BSM) work for a pretty low price.
