safe to say we all do the Ramforum community is the best one of the reasons I bought this 2014 I missed owning a Ram after I traded my 06 I was away for three years this is by far my favorite vehicle to date so I think i'll stick around a while

I've already got it spent , I'm gonna be installing an O/H console soon and I'll be needing a harness for the lights and compass/homelink module , which they can make through a request with CuylerTech here on the forum. ..

 

[big_red06]

thats great saved you some money let us know how it goes with the install

 

[ShortCourse]

I think my eyes are about to start bleeding.

If you have a 4 speed fan, can you get the RA3/4 radio, MTC bezel, heater module and the harness from Harness Connection and be good to go? Or must you convert to the 7 speed setup to retain complete functionality of the bezel?

 

[ShortCourse]

So the 8.4 Swap harness you sell only saves people the time of actually making the harness from scratch, you still need to buy:
1. 68048906AA HARNESS
2. 68105017AE CONTROL MODULE
3. 68048901AA RESISTOR
and then do the rest?

Sorry for what I'm sure is a repetitive question, just wasn't sure if it was a two-in-one tutorial, 8.4 and also adding the 7 speed fan, where as if you didn't necessarily want the 7 speed fan, you could skip the resistor and second harness part.

And I do not mean "it only does," this is all very impressive. Thanks for the reply.

You also need the MTC (or ATC) bezel and Fan Power harness (strip out all but 4 wires).

Have you clicked the link at the bottom of the OP and then looked at post 2 in Indaram's 8.4 thread?
http://www.ramforum.com/showthread.php?p=1026436

All the correct info for the 4 speed conversion is linked in that one spot so you don't have to go through the whole thread.

Ok so I went from a 3.0 to a 5.0 radio is there anyway on adding just a aftermarket mic for Bluetooth instead of wiring / buying the upgraded rear view mirror with mics? Any help would be great

 

[R.L.K.]

Brandmotion has a microphone kit that can be used , not sure on the wireing . You can get it off eBay , but I suggest installing an OEM mirror with microphones from wwwCar-parts.com for $50 ish and the harness from your dealer for $25 , the oem set up is great sound quality .
Why do you want a aftermarket microphone?

 

[big_red06]

hey question for anyone in the know I'm about to go over to my dealer this morning to have the sales code flashed into the truck for the 8.4 that i just put in . does that affect the radio in anyway i dont want to lose any functionality just to get the code everything is working well
