Infotainment is legit. Expensive, but legit. :)

IMG_0959.jpeg I upgraded the 5.0 that came with my '17 express with this kit from them. Yes they are expensive but the parts are legit and they have good customer service. They even bought back my old 5.0 that helped offset the cost a little.

Thinking of doing this, how much did they give you for your 5.0?

They gave me $150.00 for my 5.0

Another bonus was that the new unit still has Sirius XM working on it. I don't know how long it will last for, but its been working since Feb.

I have a 2018 Ram UAS Radio with Android Auto/Apple CarPlay for sale. It’s in the for sale section of this forum

I came across this site a couple days ago and was intrigued as one of my biggest wishes was that I wish I had android auto in my 14 1500. Have any of you done business with this company or have any information about them? I want to buy this but I am a bit apprehensive that I will be getting some Chinese knock off crap.

Here save yourself over 1k and just mirror your phone with this, works with android and iphone, 1st pic is ramforum.com and 2nd is waze app, works on the 5 and 8inch screens

And you dont have to dumbdown apps into "android auto mode" to use them, or you can still run auto mode on your android and mirror it as well

Or you can go lockpick for $5-550, pretty much same thing as the spa400 box but with more camera inputs

I’m guessing it ONLY mirrors what’s on your phone screen, and you’re not able to use the radio touchscreen to navigate through apps?

yes you are correct, no touch controls since its a mirrored video connection

i mainly use it for waze navi.

i have a customtronix wire harness that allows me 3 video inputs plugged into back of 8.4

I'd rather have the ability to use the radio touch screen instead of just mirroring what you do on the phone...

Me too, I wanted the touch on the screen as well, but decided it was too expensive of a option.

And that mod stays permanent to that vehicle, with the box one can just plug and play into the next vehicle.

Like I said i use it mainly for waze navi, if your using your phone for music and want to use the screen for controls then that is lil different from my use
I originally wanted a wireless wifi phone mirror but realized i would still need to charge the phone during road trips so this wired version is the best for me.

Could you link this wiring harness? I saw one on their site but not sure it's the one you are referencing

I went ahead and bought the upgraded radio from Infotainment. It has been in for 4 days so far and I have been happy with the results. Android Auto is such a welcome addition that it will be a requirement for all of my vehicles going forward.
