Might not be able to communicate with the truck, or have all the settings options a truck would require.

 

i'm betting ole fiat is planning on putting that screen in the new updated 2018 model trucks

 

Yeah, I played with it on the ford's and it was nice having Google maps on the 8.4.

 

DodgeMech, what do you think the chances will be that the radios that come with the 2018 trucks will be plug and play with the 8.4 2016 trucks?

 

I would really like to have this option for sure. I use Android Auto in my VW and it works really nice.

i doubt it

the radio is a hub between many other modules, and is set up for a particular truck with particular options

but who knows

 

Some on this forum have purchased and installed this, to get Android Auto on their Ram 8.4 systems. I have been tempted, but it's pretty spendy and it is stuck running a fairly old version of the Android OS.

Still, it's the only option I have seen so far to bring Android Auto to our older 8.4 systems.

 

I'm very tempted to try it. Someone has some on Ebay for $600. The seller has 100% feedback and accepts returns within 14 days.

 

I don't think it's going to work but would be nice. The settings has some diesel specific stuff that the others don't have.

 

My hope is that the 2018 or 2019 trucks will come with the new uconnect and we can buy the upgraded radios for our trucks. As far as I'm concerned that'd be the only reason to upgrade from a 16, and if I can just get the radio it would be A+

 

I have 2019 Ram Laramie 2500 with Uconnect 4C. Can anyone advise me how to change the tune steps on AM and FM. At the moment the AM is changing in Steps of 10 and FM is in steps of .2

When close to the radio station it works but as soon as you get a few miles from the transmitter the sound deteriorates and is distorted.

Also I can’t get a Samsung 10 to mirror. The carplay gives an error message saying software didnt pass Android auto security checks.

 

You should post in the 2019+ section would get more useful help.

 

Oops, sorry, thank you done.
