Here is your best option...

How To: Install a 2018 4C (UAQ/UAS) Radio in 2013 - 2017 RAM

For the 2018 model year RAMS, the 8.4 Radios were changed from the previous VP3/VP4 Harman radios to the 4C/4C-Nav radios made by Panasonic. The biggest advantage of these new 4C Radios is the support for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The radios themselves fit the same mount as 2013-2017...

I just added Android Auto/Apple Carplay to my Uconnect 2017 and started a thread.

2017 Uconnect Android Auto & Apple Carplay

New member to the RAM Forum's and I had recently installed Android Auto/Apple Carplay into my 2017 RAM 1500 and was wondering if I re-did the installation and recorded a video if anybody would be intrested in seeing the process.

i just recently went down this rabbit hole too with my 2017 Ram, i narrowed it down to 2 options.

1st option - Crutchfield Pac system + aftermarket head unit.

2nd option - 2018 Ram UAS/UAQ head unit (i just saw a thread on someone getting a newer one install that is in multiple pieces, screen and unit are separate)

I would have gone with the 1st option as the 2nd option gets expensive very fast. I however was able to go with the 2nd option because i found a wrecked 2018 with the headunit i needed. I personally would go with the 2nd option if you can simply because it uses all factory items minus an adapter harness you can get on ebay or by supporting a local guy on these forums @Mpgrimm2.
