just want to throw it out there, if anyone is doing uaq upgrades, or messing with media hubs.
Since it seems difficult to get a harness, ya gotta take things in yer own hands
I have a 2013 ram 2500, just upgraded to uaq and was looking for a cheap hub and found this one, 68397098AE, a whopping 42 bux (as low as $31) for this hub upgrade. it's for the new rams, but managed to get it in my 13 center console with no modification. it just fits on the backside on the hole, without coming thru,
i decased the back case. used the power from the "cigarette lighter usb" port in the center console for the hub and the usb from the radio, some 3m tape to hold it in place, some heat shrink tube to the wires ensure they don't slip off, BOOM done!
I will never use the aux port, so no need to make a harness and not even using the harness from the old media hub at all..again don't need it because i'm not going to use the aux port.
just need to get the hub to power up.
this can be done for any media hub if you aren't going to use the aux port.
Now i have 4 usb ports, 2 regular, 2 usb C, all work as well as android auto and carplay.
I am going to assume this might work with all the radios, not just the uaq
hope this helps someone.
