No one that has upgraded to a 13-17 8.4 radio that didn't come in their truck from the factory has been allowed by FCA to use their uConnect service (except 2 or 3 people with the needed FCA connections to get it added at the higher WiC level). Adding the Ra4 sales code doesn't help.

The FCA 'Guardian' service for 18+ is expected to be the same.

Has anyone tried this with a factory Alpine amp/speaker system? I have a 2016 with the 8.4A and Alpine. Curious if having the Alpine is a deal breaker for the upgrade to a 2018 radio.

Alright folks, finally got the 2018 jumpseat insert and took a break from unpacking after moving to get the 18 Ram Dual USB port hub installed to use with the 18 Ram UAQ radio that's already in my 13 Ram (replaced the UAS).

Parts:
68328704AC - 18 Ram MEDIA HUB: $99

68376066AA - 18 Ram Jumpseat Lid/Storage Bin (black) : $95

Noteworthy EDIT:
Without changing the BCM setting to enable the 2nd USB hub port, I can confirm the following ...
- Left USB port works for both USB Media/thumbdrive and Android Auto (& CarPlay likely).
- Right USB port works with Android Auto (& CarPlay likely), but not for USB media.

Just got my 2018 insert and media hub installed! Thanks for sharing the videos!

Are you talking about the storage bin? If so, it's two posts above yours.

If you have the non-jump seat center console, it has been discussed a few posts up that the insert is currently not avaliable individually. You have to purchase the entire console and lid for over $500. The insert may eventually have its own part number.

I got the new hub and insert installed. Both USB ports work fine, but can't seem to get the aux cable to work (may just be my cable)...any thoughts?

Last I heard their media hub harness doesn’t have the aux wiring in it. It’s just power and ground to make the hub work.

You've got enough posts to list in the for sale section. Compare prices on eBay, and prior for sale posts and set your own. Asking this question in the forum is friend upon though (ie fishing for a pre-sale). You can always take offers too.
