Big shoutout to MPGrimm2. I upgraded my tradesman 2500 to an RA4 with Single ATC. I had a fully manual mirror and used his guide for the mirror (harness pn for clearance lights, mirror pn). Mike made me the necessary harnesses and provided the appropriate bezel, with a 4 day turnaround time (with shipping). He knows his stuff and stands out for his knowledge base and customer service.

Thanks Mike!

Hey, Mike. I was wondering if you could help me here. I may have screwed I may have not, we shall see!
I'm running a Canadian Ram Sport with the factory VP3 8" UConnect screen and it works great, I purchased a 2019 8.4" screen with carplay off of a friend and he included the media hub for his 2017. To my understanding I need the wiring for dual usb to work and to work the carplay/android auto feature.
I tied it all in to try and the radio/sat/bluetooth work perfectly. The backup camera doesn't :( and I don't think it will from now on. Unless you know of a fix.
Can you point me in the right direction to get the media hub working with the android auto. The original hub is the sd/usb/aux hub about 1.5" tall and 2.5" wide.
If needed I'll be buying the wiring off of you to get it all working properly.
Thanks for any help!
