Ram 1500 RBZ ??

[Dbarker42]

I have a 2012 ram 1500 ST, just has the standard radio set up. would like to switch to the RBZ set up. just wondering if its just a plug and play swap? or is there anything specific i need to purchase or look for?

thanks ahead of time for any help

It's a plug and play, can be swapped out in seriously like 10 mins, it is easy

Oh and be sure and get a high speed bus RBZ

One issue you may have is the boot up splash screen. Mine displays Jeep Uconnect for a few second when it's powering up. From what I understand, it I have the dealer flash the computer to add the RBZ sales code, it will start displaying Ram for those few seconds.

Others have had it display Chrysler and some others have had it display Ram without a flash. It isn't a big deal since it doesn't effect operation or anything. I just refuse to pay $100 to have the dealer flash it for a logo that disappears as soon as it fully boots up.

@Xtreme- Cool, not to far from each other then. you have anything else done to your truck?

@Ocelot- Yea it wouldn't bother me to have the other logos on start up, all I'm worried about is how it functions.

Where did you guys get your RBZ units at? and how much did you pay? Ive been looking around a little bit but haven't started looking very hard yet

eBay is where most people seem to get one...

Not a whole lot as of yet, just an s&b intake and some stereo goodies

Yea ive seen several on ebay, it just hard to buy them not knowing if they are in good working condition and people think they are made of gold

Craigslist might be an option

Nice thread, thanks for showing me that. hopefully ill find one as cheap as you did

 

[Xtreme545]

I found mine off of Craigslist locally and got it out of a town and country for under 200 bucks, so u can find them cheap

probably a stupid question and im sure the answer is probably obvious, but what is the difference between the High & Low speed bus RBZ?

It's the data speed of the trucks CAN Bus communication. Your truck has the high speed bus so you need the high speed radio in order for it to work. A low speed radio is not compatible.
