INFO - 2013-2018 8.4A /AN FW Notes (RA3/VP3-NA & RA4/VP4-NA & UAx)

[SitKneelBend]

Are all of the part numbers for the 2014 AA,AD,AG,AH, etc... interchangeable or do I have to replace my 68224525AH with another AH?

They are generally speaking interchangeable. Different revisions of the same part number.

& you should be good to go with any 13-17 RA4 VP4-NA PN listed in the OP. If you want to upgrade to the 2018 Android Auto/ Apple Carplay UAQ or UAS radios, that will need a few extras.

Ahoj, pomozte prosím s aktualizací rádia v Dodge Ram Sport 2013. Koupil jsem si Ram a chtěl bych provést aktualizaci, ale na online stránce https://www.driveuconnect.com/support/software-update.html jsou informace, že systém je aktuální je 14.25.5. Je možné můj systém přesto aktualizovat? Děkuji za vaši pomoc, bohužel jsem z České republiky a nemám poblíž službu Ram.

Translation for fofonta:

Hi, please help with the radio update in Dodge Ram Sport 2013. I bought a Ram and I would like to update, but on the online page https://www.driveuconnect.com/support/software-update.html there is information that the system is the current one is 14.25.5. Is it still possible to update my system? Thank you for your help, unfortunately I am from the Czech Republic and I do not have the Ram service nearby.

@fofonta
Please translate/post in english.

You need the update to v17.x x first, and then maybe to v18.45.x

What is the PN on the back of your 2013 RA4 VP4 radio? (Example: 0501xxxxAx )

Is it a Vp4-NA (USA), VP4-CA (Canada), Vp4-ROW (Rest of World)?

I may be able to help with a USA radio.

** You can also determine the PN from the dealer menu by pressing/holding....
Temp UP + Temp Down + Front Defrost for 6-10 seconds and then looking in the radio information section.

Hello I'll find out and let you know this information thank you

A note for fellow Canucks (or anyone using a Canadian UCS unit); was able to update my UCS 8.4 to FW22.6 using the UAS links provided by Mpgrimm2. My radio was out of an ‘18 and came with the notorious 21.9 firmware. I’m running this in my ‘17 express CC which came with an RA2 from the factory. I had originally upgraded to an RA4 and single zone ATC and upgraded to the UCS this summer to gain CarPlay connectivity. The morning after I installed my presets were gone. Other than that, no issues and presets have held after re-inputting them. I’m on my 4th day after the install and will update if anything comes up. The audio is much clearer and it seems like the backup cam reacts better to lighting changes (this may just be a “placebo effect”). Can’t comment on Bluetooth notification volume quite yet but will update accordingly.

I was a little nervous to try the upgrade as the TSB never directly referenced the UCS units in DS vehicles but I decided to live dangerously and here we are. Radio details (before upgrade) posted as reference.

Just checking, a 2019 8.4 would not work?

If it's out of a 4th gen classic... Yes

Thanks! I ended up not buying it as the back looked odd, and not like my current one. I was travelling to Calgary to pick up a premium evic cluster as mine cracked, and saw this ad on FB marketplace, was tempted to buy it but changed my mind. What do you think of that radio @Mpgrimm2 ?

 

[Mpgrimm2]

Yep, that's a 5th gen display only .. it req's a separate radio receiver module and interconnect cable (all 4th gen 8.4's and the base 5th gen 8.4 UAM are single piece units).

I also bought it as its from a classic, so I’m hoping I can get a new logo to pop up as my 2014 cluster only shows the ram head logo after I changed the settings on alfaobd

The 2018 and 2019 classic ones are nice but the P for the park position blinks when in park, the rest of the gears and features show and work fine as far as I know. (I've installed every year except 2019(yet) on my 2014 Big Horn 1500)

What instill don't know is if I could program the mileage on a diesel cluster plugged into mine lol, haven't dared to

Also that is a very good deal

Oh you needn't worry at the amounts of mula I spend with Benny (@AllMoparParts.com) - However due to CV order fulfillment is, or rather has sometimes been better then 2 months, I prefer not to bother Benny with small stuff, My cover I purchased was New in Mopar Wrap and took just days, but hey if you want to have that annoying, nagging, grabbing your attention from the road cause you know it there, spiderweb crack across gauges for a couple extra months for a couple extra bucks, who am I to judge?
