New to this site just got a 2016 Ram 1500. The Radio is Nav Ready however Mopar and my local Ram Dealer want to charge $600 to turn it on. Does anyone know someone in Illinois that can do this for cheaper. or know how to do it without paying $600

I would just buy the NAV (RA4) version of your radio and then sell your current radio (RA3).

Not sure why I would buy a new or refurbished RA4 that is twice the cost of just going to the dealer and getting my RA3 activated.

I paid $275 for my RA4 and $300 for my UAS. Your RA3 will likely sell for at least $200... There are options.

You can get a clean ra4 for under 400.00 with a little looking here or ebay.i bought a 2015 ra4 like new with new map updates on the for sale section here for 350.00 shipped.the ra4 nav has more options and takes voice commands easier.plus you will have HD radio and travel link.most HD stations have 1 to 3 sub stations

I have an RA4 with NaV that came out of a 2016 Ram. Looking to get 400$ shipped but will negotiate.

I had a ra3 stock in my 2013, bought a ra4 from a 2015 for $350 in mint condition from eBay, been flawless past year +. Kept my original radio, probably should put it on eBay, was removed when truck had 30k miles. Plus the ra4 has hd radio.
