I tried to piece everything together in cost for converting in my 2016 1500 tradesmen to have the 8.4 with nav and CarPlay. Grand total from what I can find is around $1900 and I would still need the usb media harness. I am already out the $212 for the incorrect bezel. That total cost includes the bezel I have because it’s a dual zone bezel.
Infotainment for a complete plug and play kit with the correct bezel would be
$2100 and comes with warranty.
Then I started piecing together an aftermarket head unit. One with the floating screen. 8”+ size screen. Several to choose from. NO ANDROID units!
Still the cost for a complete kit that isn’t factory looking can be anywhere from $1600-1800.
Not sure what direction to go. I can still sell the bezel (maybe) and recoup that money.
Sell my Phoenix Tesla style PX6 12.1 Android unit with dash cam for $500-600, again… maybe..
What aftermarket units has other people done. I don’t really want a dbl din size screen.
I hate the Tesla Android unit I have. Just not an Android guy. I tried
For my work, CarPlay with maps is a necessity and the gps function is great to have when cell service is bad.
Any advice would be most helpful! I should state that money isn’t a roadblock but it is a consideration.
