A few quick questions.
On the lower right corner by the AUX plug should be a three letter code, I'm guessing it is RES
How many of the fakra connectors on the back when you checked, one or two? Should be one white and one yellow
Do you get the preview channel at all, I think its 184?
When you added it on your daughter's account, did you double check the radio number? If I remember correctly, tune to channel zero to get the code from the radio.
I'm leaning towards a bad radio, If you are going to try a new radio, before you buy one, I actually have one out of my 2010 in the garage, if you want, I can ship it to you to test, if it works and you want to keep it, shoot me whatever you think it's worth to you. If you buy one off ebay, don't spend more than $40 - $50 on it, these things are a dime a dozen.
Don't know about any code, I'm sitting outside Meijer waiting for my wife to come out, and we took her Durango. Have to check for the code when I get home.Dodge Trucker
in the lower right corner, there are 3 letters, it will start with R
RER, RBZ, REN, RHB, RES to name a few
which is yours ?
I liked the 2009 - 2012 dodge ram radios
i used to sit in my 2009 dodge ram 1500 with RER MYGIG Radio, insert the CD in the player & watch movies in stereo
It had the puck type roof antenna on the back of the roof
It had a fender antenna on the front right fender
I always listened to Sirius radio all the way across the US & up in Ontario Canada.
Watch this on how to activate Sirius Radio, with your radio

My daughter in law did something to the radio while following something she got up on her phone the night she said she activated it. I remember seeing that radio number come up.
a week later we were at their house and my son brought up something on his phone and tried whatever it said to do, that didn't work either. And I remember with both of them,. Their phones said to go to channel 1, but mine skips from 0 to 2.
I dunno about that preview channel. Have to check that out.
and on the puck antenna I saw that and based on what others have I thought that might be a dummy plug. I guess not then.
my radio has 2 of those funky plugs in the back, one either white or maybe yellow, I thought that the 2nd one was red? Don't remember now.
I did pull the headliner down and saw the same type and color wire going into that hockey puck as one of them at the back of the radio.
I Have been wondering about a problem in the radio itself for other reasons. Such as when on FM this thing has the worst range of any car radio I have had since the early 90s when I had that overpriced pile o'crap Optimus radio from radio shack. Now that one remains the most expensive radio I have ever had and even 30 years later remains the most expensive radio I ever bought as well.
i was thinking of hitting the junkyard and see if I could find a different radio at some point, I dunno how wide the interchange would be on these trucks. But I know that mine looks identical to one I saw at work in an 08 avenger.
but that one says "to subscribe call this number" where mine is stuck between 2 different messages mainly "UPDATING CHANNELS".
now if I swap radios do I need to go into my OBD2 port and "tell" the computer anything regarding the replacement radio for it to work?
all this electronic crap makes me more anxious to finish up my '85 D150. I love the simplicity of a 2 barrel carburetor and no freaking computer.
jawzs2, I appreciate your offer, where abouts might you be located? Anywhere near Chicago by chance? I'm about an hour south of that crap hole I'll PM you later.
