Infotainment upgrade

[Ndkshns]

New here. I just bought a 2018 2500 tradesman crewcab. It's a commercial package that has the am/fm/Sirius center dash. I have a wrecked 2016 3500 with u connect, nav, and the larger touch screen. Can these units be swapped out? Also what about the heated seats?

I would really like having bluetooth and a few creature comforts.

Yes everything can be swapped over. It may require a couple harnesses that @M2Mods @Mpgrimm2 sells. You'll also need alphaobd ($49 Google play store) obdlink mx ($60 Amazon) and the security bypass harness that @DeereGuy sells to program everything

While it's not recommended to install a 13-17 RAx radio in a 2018 or 19 classic it can be done with the correct parts but you 'CURRENTLY' can't get rid of Cellular System needs service error message at startup (unless using a 2018 UAx radio).

I strongly suggest an 18 ram UAx radio in your 18 2500 truck. You will need...

- 2018 ram UAQ or UAS radio
- 13-18 8.4 bezel (Single or Dual Zone)
- 2018 2500/3500 HVAC module
- 13-18 7 speed fan resistor
- ATC Cabin Temp Sensor (below ignition switch)

- 4 speed conversion harness
with ATC cabin Temp wiring built in
- 4 to 7 speed fan resistor harness

& AlfaOBD/OBD Link MX BT adapter to change BCM config to Single Zone ATC
** AlfaOBD

- 2018 OBD Bypass harness (allow programming with AlfaOBD)

Thank you for the info. I was really hoping it would just be plug and play and go on my way.
