...for my 2014 Ram 1500. I'd like to replace my 8.4" Uconnect RA4(I believe) unit. Thanks in advance.

You’ll probably have to get a new one from MOPAR if you want a warranty. These new ones won’t have that issue though.With all the issues of the radio (screen delamination), it'd have to come with a warranty.
Yep, but pretty pricey at $1,300. I'd probably look at an aftermarket one for several hundred $ less...You’ll probably have to get a new one from MOPAR if you want a warranty. These new ones won’t have that issue though.

I don't think that's necessarily always the case when buying a new radio. The random XM subscriptions are usually tied to some sort of long term promotion. My RA4 that I had in my 2017 had the same thing where I could use XM radio without every paying for it, and when I went on their website to try and transfer to a new radio I discovered it was on a 5 year trial subscription somehow (ends in 2023).Just a point about buying a new UAQ as opposed to a used one: I ended up buying a new one from allmoparparts.com. The used ones that I could find online were at high risk of having the delamination problem, and they were also almost as expensive.
I don't really use the satellite radio, but after installing the unit, I found that it plays all the Sirrius XM stations without a subscription. Also has the Sirrius Guardian. It's not a trial memebership like when you buy a new vehicle, it's just there, kind of like playing an AM/FM radio. There was no contact between myself and the Sirrius peopele, no credit card number or anything else. If you are a user of the satellite radio, the money you would save on subscription fees would pay for the radio, and then some, over the life of the truck. Just something to think about.
