Has anyone swapped out their radio to the next level up? I have a 2019 Ram an I am thinkin about swapping out the radio for a grade above what I have. Is it as easy as plug an play or does it involve other things like programming.
I don't have Sirius Radio an was thinking to upgrade to a radio with it. The portable type radio I got from Sirius isn't working out even close as advertised.

I recently bought a Tradesman and immediately started getting facebook ads for upgrading the radio (creepy lol). It's wicked expensive but includes the replacement facia piece and OEM radio. The 8.4" model (no nav) is $1,600 and is truly plug n play. You need to also order the sirius components to make it work. Not sure how much that total would be. I was looking at the 12" model that replaces all the heat controls as well but it's $2,600.... Not beyond my moronic thought process to pull the trigger on someday though... But yes, it's all plug n play for the most part.

@mlrtimemach what radio do you have now and you need to post some additional information about your current setup. Is your 2019 a 4th or 5th gen, does it have steering wheel controls for the radio functions and do you have microphones in the headliner?

I have the small 5" radio in a 2019 Gen 5 with the speaker in the liner and controls in the steering wheel. It's a level 1 radio for a level 1 Tradesman
