radio issues

[jgoff900]

I have a 2011 ram 1500 laramie with the RBH radio. my radio fizzled out and went blank the other day. screen is blank but the buttons will light up at night. does anyone know if there is an inline fuse on this model or what the issue might be?
the 30 amp fuse in main block checked out good.
any help would be appreciated.

In my experience you are looking at a dead radio…you might find someone local to you who rebuilds them or time to go to the local stereo shop.

I would consider stopping by a Auto Stereo & Alarm shop & getting their opinion

There is a shop in Florida that you might call & ask them to assist you in trouble shooting your MyGig radio

I believe that your 2011 Dodge Ram radio is a RHB 430 Navigation

A replacement radio currently cost is $1200

I would have to consider buying a radio upgrade through CRUTCHFIELD,
They have modern radios that allow you to use more of your Smart phone features, & probably cheaper than $1200

High speed bus RHBs refurbished on eBay for a few hundred. New car stereos also start around that. Prices go up from there. Lots of cool options. Then harnesses and modules and amps and speakers and so much fun wiring...

Guess you have to decide your budget for how far down the car stereo rabbit hole to go.

thanks for the comments. i was hoping the radio wasn't shot, i hoped there was a mystery fuse somewhere i couldn't find.
i had been wondering about changing to an after market unit since they don't have an update for Nav for this model year anymore. i'm in the houston tx area so looking into a stereo shop might be the best way to go.

thanks

Most on here point to Crutchfield. Or take a look at the Tesla Radio threads. There are a lot of options.
