I have been told by Dodge, Unconnect, and my local dealership that this isn't possible, but I honestly don't believe it. My Ram 1500 is a 2015 and came equipped with the UConnect 8.4 RA3 version. However, in order to use Apple CarPlay (which is my end goal), I need to install the RA4 version of UConnect.
The dealership said they could sell me a $2600 UConnect RA4 system and charge to install it, but they couldn't guarantee that it would function.
This can't be that impossible. I have the 8.4 size screen and unit, so it's not like I'm trying to go from 5 up to 8.4. I just want to upgrade to the RA4 system. Is the wiring harnessing that different to where it wouldn't function? Is there way to purchase an RA4 UConnect system aftermarket and install it myself? Does anyone have any experience with this?
Bottom Line: I want to use my iPhone with the Apple CarPlay and can't do that in my 2015 Dodge Ram 1500. I would rather pay to upgrade the UConnect system to be able to do this rather than buy a new truck.
