Been review this and many different threads regarding the 8.4 upgrade.
I have a 2016 1500 Limited with the Harmon VP4 Nav, no issues, just wanted to find the best route to add Android Auto / Apple Carplay.
I wanted to stay away from the 2018 model 8.4 because of the delamination issues, however I couldnt pass up this deal. Found a guy who was having radio problems and replaced his UAQ and was getting rid of it for $50!!.

Picked it up, ordered a replacement digitizer (not the entire LCD screen) and will spread a few hours cleaning up the glue.
Testong things out, on the back of the VP4 I have the maroon, mustard and white cables connected, on the UAQ, the mustard and white connect fine but the maroon will not connect because of the notches are in a different location.
What is the maroon cable for?
Does it need to be connected?
Can I just add a notch in the plastic to fit?
on the UAQ, looks like a couple piece missing, is this okay or can they be fixed?
I would like to reposition the USB hub behind the radio and have a cable come through the top so I can connect the phone there as opposed to running a cable across the center console.
What's left to get here... USB hub from 2018+ and a conversion harness?
