Well, really only one question. First, I love this truck. Coming from a 2005 2500HD with the 6.0. That thing was a monster but this Ram puts it to shame. Sure the HD would tow more, but that Hemi sound man.

So, on to the question. I have a stock radio that has satellite on it. No u-connect.

What are my options for plug and play navigation systems? Looking for a stock navigation system I can pull out of something wrecked or purchase online and drop it in. Does this exist?

this place may have what your looking for OEM Auto Parts Co. or you could try local or online salvage for one of those factory units I believe they are called Mygig radios and not Uconnect for your year truck but I'll let someone else chime in on that because I'm not 100% sure on that .another option is you can always go with an aftermarket radio navigation unit which may give you what you are looking for as well it depends on preference and budget good luck with your search

Take a look at radioupgrade dot com as well.

I'd go after market. There are plenty of units and options available. Most need an adapter harness to work (PacAudio) with the OEM harness and if you want a double DIN navigation unit with all the bells and whistles, the aftermarket can supply it.

All the Ram Mygig radios are plug and play. The one thing to watch for is the canbus speed, Rams have a high canbus speed. Chrysler also used the low speed canbus in some of its vehicles and this will not work with RAM.

Adding a nav unit you will have to get a GPS antennea for the unit. Activating any other features such as back up camera and Uconnect will require a trip to the dealer for a flash to activate it. After market adapters are available like Lockpick which will do the job for you and will offer more features for the radio.
