Aftermarket Multimedia units for 2018 Dodge Ram 1500

[Paulos G]

Has anyone upgraded their multimedia unit on your 2018 Dodge Ram 1500 Tradesman Quad Cab? Has anyone been to an electronic store like Best Buy and upgraded their RA1 unit to the Best Buys multimedia units like Pioneer, JVC or Sony multimedia units that works with the steering wheel and USB functions installed on your pickups? Does your bluetooth works after installing your new multimedia units after upgrading the factory installed RA1 units on your pickup and was their improvements on your sound? I have a 2018 Dodge Ram 1500 Tradesman Quad Cab with an RA1 unit; speakers are decent but what do you recommend for an upgrade to this RA1 unit?

It looks like Alpine came out with the Halo 11:

I just put in a JVC KW-M730BT in my 19 Classic Tradesman. Replaced an RA1. The sound quality is definitely improved. Apple Car Play is awesome. I have heard there is no way of retaining factory Bluetooth mic so you have to use the one that comes with the deck. If you use the Maestro RR or RR2 you can retain steering wheels controls and more.
