You should check eBay, craigs list and offer up. I found them from $150.00 to $350.00 in good condition. Here is a link to one I found on eBay.

I will have the one out of my truck available in a few weeks if you still have not found one.

I would be interested in yours when it's available. I have the Ebay saved search on that but nothing has shown up for the '17-'18 radios, just the '16 and older. I'm looking for one to use as a stepping stone until the UAQ software update issue is resolved and I can find out if my miserable local dealer is willing to add the sales code for the UAQ to my truck.

Right now I'm still not sure if a 2017 will work, someone at Infotainment.com is telling me 2018 only works but they want to sell me one. If it turn out yours will work how much do you have to get for the 2017 5.0 flatback and do you have the anti-theft code?

Thank you very much :)

I’ll do $200 shipped and insured. Just wondering what the difference between the 16’ and older and the 2017-2018 models?

Oh and I have the donor VIN# and bill of sale. I can call the dealer tomorrow and see if they will give me the unlock code.

I ran the VIN off the RAM I got my radio from, turns out it’s a 2018 not a 2017. I’ve been trying to see the difference between the two but haven’t found anything solid yet.

Looks like you don't need mine anymore.

PM sent

Yes, looks like I have to stick with a 2018 only. They are $160-$190 shipped from
LKQ Corp with no code and a 6 month warranty. I'd rather spend my money with someone here on the Forum.

Thanks for everyones help, got what I needed. LKQ Online has as many of them as you could want for $150 up, including free shipping and a 6 month return policy :).

Took the radio and LKQ sales receipt to my local dealer and they printed a sheet with the code free of charge.
