Radio Replacement

[TexAg67]

Wanting to replace my very basic 2018 Ram 2500 radio with something that has AA & CP. Really don't want replace the bezel. Curious if anyone has tried one of these. If so, how did it work?

Got that one (or one very similar to that) in my 2017, absolutely love it

In fact, this is the one i have, comes with a different bezel, but like I said, mines a 2017)

Does what it needs to do, has android airplay or whatever it's called, it's customizable, plays any type of audio file known to man as well as videos AND it has offline navigation

What about fingerprinting on the high gloss screen? Does it show smudges etc? Nice thing about OE screen is it has matte finish which does not show fingerprints unless your eating fried chicken and changing radio stations at the same time.

Which memory did you get 2/32, 2/64 or 4/64?

I kept the screen protector on and it doesn't smudge at all

Which memory did you get 2/32, 2/64 or 4/64?

The 4/64

I figured the small upcharge would be worth it for the smoother operation

I have a question for you regarding the product you installed. Does your RAM have two rear cameras (tailgate and 5th wheel which is in your 3rd brakelight on the back of your cab)? If so, does this stereo allow usage of both back up cameras?

Mine is an SLT, it came with zero cameras from the factory

I was able to tie an existing aftermarket back up camera no problem, and I know I have at least one more AV input

It wouldn't surprise me in the least if you could tie the cargo cam (the one in 3rd brake light) into that AV feed, and then you could watch it regardless of what gear you're in
