Swapping RER 730N into '12 express

[ultra2207]

Never thought about this swap and don't know anything about it. Can get one for a good price right now but want to make sure it's an easy swap. I have a '12 Express with the basic radio. He says its high speed and comes with the extra antenna. Anything I should know about the install? I recently bought an evic cluster and 2011 steering wheel with evic buttons, audio and nav buttons on back. Adding codes to computer via Jon at after hours mopar soon. Just want to make sure this radio is a direct swap before I buy it. Thanks!

I believe you'll have to modify the dash, as done with any other double din added to our expresses. I could be wrong though. Have you added the evic yet?

I installed the steering wheel and evic just to test it to see what worked. Cluster is obviously plug and play, all gauges work. Buttons on steering wheel did not work so I have no control over the evic. Went to dealership and confirmed that the necessary sales codes for steering wheel controls is not available for my vin. I'll have to send my TIPM to someone to configure it all. $150, quick turnaround time so no big deal. I took the evic cluster back out for now, have about 1000 miles left to burn up on my stock cluster to catch up with the evic cluster.
