Aftermarket Options?

[PCT]

Is there any aftermarket dash kit/ Maestro units available for the 5th gens yet? I saw on meastros website, looks like the CH-3, which worked on 4.5 gen, looks like it works on 5th. But not sure if it just a bad filter.

I have a Tradesmen with out SiriusXM so the sooner i get it swapped the better.

What is the 4.5 Gen? Is that the 2019 classic? That is a gen 4, not sure what 4.5 is.

The new HD's are being referred to as 4.5's because they still have some of the 4th gen body, with new 5th gen styling/interior. So not fully either generation.

4.5 is the refresh in '13-18 (19 Classic). With the new Uconnect systems.

@JoeCo didnt know that

Yep my understanding of it is the 4th gen is all 1500's from 2009-18 AND the 2019/20 classics, and HD's up to the 2019 "4.5" models. No 2019 "4.5" 1500's (it's either a 4th or 5th), just the 2500/3500 due to the mash up of old and new.

That I can't help you with unfortunately. All I know about the stereos is that the carplay units first appeared in the 2018's but I'm not sure of the differences in units between the 4th/4.5/5th gens.

Oh yes I've seen them all before, so are you questioning what kit on the maestro site would work for yours? And it's giving you options for 4th/4.5/5th gens? Or just 4th/5th? Sorry I'm a little confused as to what your original question was. Seems like the 4.5/5th should be exactly the same since the new HD's have the same interior as the 5th's.

Looking back at your original post, the maestro site said it worked on a 4.5 gen for that CH-3? Or did it say 4th gen? Cause the 5th gen was out for about a year before the 4.5's so you would think they would have made a product for the 5th gen before the 4.5. I apologize if I'm missing the objective here, I'm not much of an audio guy.

I put an aftermarket head unit in my 13, and used the CH-3 to Integrate it to the factory settings. Meastro says it still works for the 19 2500. But there is no kit to get the headunit mounted into the dash. I need a dash kit.

Oh ok I understand now, sorry for all the confusion. Have you talked directly to Maestro yet? You might be the first one trying to switch this over.

Does anyone know if 99-6518B, 13+ dash kit will work in 2019 2500?

That kit would probably work for a 2019 2500 that has the 5” radio. The one major issue with an aftermarket radio in a 5th gen 1500 or 2019+ HD is they can’t support the backup camera. Even maestro says the camera can’t be made to work.

Here’s the install guide for that firmware version-
They must be mistaken for the 2500/3500 that they have together as 2018-2019. I don’t think the issue is with the maestro. The cameras on the 5th gens and the 2019 2500s are digital, and use a single coax cable, as opposed to the analog signal the previous cameras used. I don’t think any aftermarket radio is capable of displaying the image from the ram’s camera.

Oh man what a pain in the ass... Has to be a way to convert it?
