I'm happy to say my 2016 Ram 1500 Big Horn now sports the UAQ 4C radio as well as Single Zone ATC. A big time thanks to @Mpgrimm2 for advice, patience, and (mostly) some great harnesses and a super cool custom bezel with a functional Auto button! All the advice on this site makes me feel much smarter than I really am. The install went perfectly the first time. I can hardly ever say that. And such a huge difference. With my recently upgraded 7" EVIC and Power Folding Mirrors, to go along with the UAQ (replacing my RA2), it feels like a much more modern truck!
Now the "down side". I'm wanting to install a front camera and blind spot cameras. I seem to be striking out on finding compatible products. I checked on the LockPick and they said they're working on a version that will be compatible with the UAQ (not yet available). I found a product made by PAC (BCI-CH41) that looked similar. I emailed the company and asked about compatibility with the UAQ 4C. They replied "if it's an 8.4" radio, it should work." I ordered it and checked it out...didn't work. NAVIKS has the only product I've found that says it's compatible with the 4C. Unfortunately, it doesn't have the side (blind spot) camera capability. So this is something I'll have to keep working. If anyone has found something that works, I'd love to hear about it.
But, the camera thing aside, I'm loving this upgrade. I would never have tried the ATC upgrade without the advice on this site!!
