Ordered a 2014 8.4AN (RA4/VP4 NA, 68224525AH) today for my upgrade off of eBay for $420 (they had 3. Sold quickly).

Supposedly came out of a Chrysler 200. Hopefully it works without issue and gets to my house in Va by the time I get home for vacation.

That is the same part (68224525AH) as my 2014 radio and it came out of a 2014 3500 Laramie. Mine was flawless so I do not see why you would have any trouble with it as far as compatibility. I updated it to 14.25.5 and it worked great.

For front or rear? There are 2 trucks that have the kits I've designed, mine and one at my dealers. Both work flawless. Rick has dibs on the first production kit, and I'm waiting for more plugs for the parking sensor module. I can now get yazaki plugs from their US distributor, so overhead console harnesses are a go also.

The way im thinking will require no cutting at all. adapter plugs in between the high beam plug (truck side) and the high beam plug (light side) then goes into the same type of thing down at the fogs.
