If you have an aftermarket radio installed in your Ram, I'd love to see what it looks like in your dash. Bonus points for year/model of your Ram and Brand/Model of your radio.

How do they look?

I’ve got a 2014 1500 Tradesman with a pioneer 4500NEX installed in it. It’s got wires and wireless CarPlay and android auto. It loos good and runs circles around the oem units 5189e61ac0abbedb260681bbaab1ae03.jpg

I know the voices in my head aren’t real, but man, do they ever come up with some great ideas.

Looks nice. I tried buying a UAS through here but got shafted. Next is doing what you did to my 18 Tradesman.

I bought it through crutchfields. I paid them an extra $25 to make up the harness, well worth it. It made it a half hour install. It was easy to do and I only wish I had done it sooner.

Did you have XM? If you have it now, does it work pretty easy?

Pioneer avh4300nex here. Even though I could never get it to display vehicle information like the speedo or tire pressure like Michael. Still couldn’t be any happier.

Wheel controls work?? I was looking at adding this model and a backup camera too.

The radio you want, then the following.

I also paid them an extra $25 to make up a harness so I didn’t have to. With them doing the harness for me, it was all plug and play.

I put a new head unit in my 2010. Has CarPlay and backup camera hookup. Planning on getting the tailgate camera soon. Goes nicely with the two 12s under the backseat lol. 6da1df4c42c64ae77bef9b522aa2bf20.jpg

I don’t have the picture anymore but this is what I have in mine currently.

It’s the boss audio bvcp9685a. It’s not anything crazy good but it’s better than the stock unit. I looked at a few alpine units and came really close to getting the Pioneer 1400nex but this Boss was a good deal and it paired up well with steering wheels controls using a PAC interface
