I installed the 2018 in my 2017 and didn't loose anything. I did already have the non-nave 8.4 though. Heated seats and the fan control work like they should. From what I have been reading you might need the fan controller out of an 18 along with the radio. You will loose the uconnect access which is crap in my book anyhow.

Just throwing out a big thanks!:worship:
once again to DeereGuy for the adapter harness & compass hub.
working perfect as expected.
UAQ with google maps is definitely
a nice upgrade over the old RA3-non/nav.
a few key cycles and the bcm started playing nice, everything working except for the soft touch for the backup camera as has been mentioned before.:favorites13:

Yes,. But not really a loss to me. The vehicle reports are a nice reminder. In daily life I have found that the features are neat but I never use them.

With the Google Maps feature through Android auto I can duplicate the send and go without the service. Also since it's Google Maps pulled directly from my phone the maps are always current and if I'm in my truck needing directions I can just say OK Google and have it on the screen.

With your iPhone I would assume you should be able to do the same thing through Carplay.



My remote start key fob for the winter and summer months has had no issue going through two walls and the detached garage to the carport from inside my home starting the vehicle. I have honestly never used the app Remote Start feature
Since I have had my Ram.

I have the equivalent service on my wife's GMC Terrain and other than the novelty of trying it to see if it actually works have never used it since.

For anyone that is interested, the Crux VIMCF-93C works with the UAQ to enable navigation entry (passenger, of course) while the vehicle is in motion. I've had it installed for about a week now, all functions seem to be normal.

Looks like you can do Waze and google maps in CarPlay now

Yeah give it a few more key cycles. Once you get the sxm button it should be good to go.
