FYI media hub for 2018+ CarPlay

[VR Nicastro]

Just an FYI.
I purchased my UAQ kit from infotainment.com to fit my 2016 Ram. I got another truck, 2019 classic and transferred the head unit to this truck. It had the 5” screen radio.
The stock media hub in the truck is NOT compatible. You need part #68328704AD.
It’s plug and play. I searched the forums for this information but couldn’t find it.
Not sure what year they switched to elongated hub (2018 maybe?) with two USB ports but my 2016 had the square one. I tried that one in my 2019 and it doesn’t work.,

hmm.. There is a huge thread for radio upgrades. https://www.ramforum.com/threads/how-to-install-a-2018-4c-uaq-uas-radio-in-2013-2017-ram.116140


2018+ UAQ /UAS will not work with 2016 hubs.

I swapped my 5" to an 8.4 UAS. took a chance and used 68397098AE from this thread https://www.ramforum.com/threads/uaq-uas-better-yet-uconnect-in-general-with-usb-c-ports.184092/ which has 2 USB-C and 2 USB-A and with Aux and it worked for me. (I sourced it from Ebay for $40)

There’s two part numbers that this new number replaces. I’m assuming they only make one now that will work with both.
I couldn’t find that information. I was unsure which year they changed the style.
I’ve listed the one from my 16 Ram for sale with the harness adapter so I guess it will work with 13-17.

I’m looking for the usb hub and harness. I have a 2013 ram. That I just upgraded got a 8.4 screen from a 2020 Jeep compass works perfect. Even got NAV now. But the usb hub was broken. I am desperately looking for it. Please let me know if still for sale. I’m in Edmonton Alberta Canada . Email is [email protected] or txt 1-780-887-3343 thanks again in advance
