If I could get a 2015-2016 RA4 swapped in, gain updated maps and ability to move those icons around, add well as not lose any features of my 2014, such as voice text dictation, then that would be great. But really I just want to see it installed in a 2013.


I agree. I'd like to see it in a 2013 too. I'm considering taking one for the team, but $525 is a decent amount of cash to roll the dice on. I use the USB all the time, so losing that is my biggest worry.

If the USB was active on the 2016 Ra4 for Gysot in his truck it *should* stay active in the next one.

PS: I won't to catch you on the phone sometime about...


- 2015 & 2016 ra4's have a slightly newer (2014) maps database

(can be flashed on 2013-2014 radios for $150 or we can figure out how to hack it on there. I have the files)

He said the USB didn't work in his truck, which is what's causing me concern. And yes, we need to chat. I keep forgetting to give you a call.

GYSOT - sorry for hijacking your sale thread. I'm just trying to figure out how likely I am to have this thing work if I drop the cash.

Yes the USB should work. It works in mine. The only one that didn't load up in mine was the SD port because I added the media hub with the SD slot. My truck didn't come with it so it didn't load up when the radio loaded my options. Navrepair.com will activate all media ports to your Vin# for 70.00 if they don't load up. Nothing is a 100% guaranteed but myself and others have had success with this part# 16. radio. I do understand that it's a gamble though. I was lucky and stumbled on mine for a price that was to low not to give it a shot so I bought it.

PS: what happened to the pictures showing the pn and fw version?

And the link to the conversion thread isn't actually there, just the text.

I wonder if I switch mine out with this one I have for sale to check? Really don't want to truck apart for the 400th time.

Anyway back to the top time to sell her.

It's crazy you haven't sold this yet.

Hopefully I'll be able to pull the trigger on it soon if somebody else doesn't. I sold some more stuff from my old Jeep so I'm only around $100 shy in my PayPal account. I'm trying not to put any more truck parts on a credit card right now because I'm getting really tired of sleeping on the couch. lol

See this is why I love this forum, I assume I have that as well? I didn't even know is that all 8.4s or the 16s? Also in my cluster I can't see turn by turn where do I turn that on?

Back to the top before I post on eBay as I HATE there fee's but **** sells asap there.

You should have both of those features GYSOT. The weather map is in the travel link app along with SXM traffic alerts. And from what they told me, depending on what FW you have, if you don't have the option to turn on/off the turn by turn in the EVIC then it always stays on.

Not sure if your info is correct but it shows your truck is a 2012. This radio will fit 2013 to 2016 only. If you are inquiring for a different reason please disregard this message just wanted to give you a heads up just in case.

Sorry....His information screen showes his truck is a 2012. I was just giving him a heads up in case he was inquiring about his truck that the radio will only fit the 13 and up Rams before there was any confusion. That's why I said if it's for another truck he is inquiring about please disregard my message.
