Android Radio/Android Auto

For anyone thinking about getting one of these Ram specific Android HU's. You do retain time and audio info in gauge cluster, this was something I couldn't find anywhere on internet, I had a 10 inch Atoto head unit I really liked, but I was missing functions I wanted. Also they do give an adapter to retain media hub in jumpseat arm rest, but instructions doesn't show where to plug it into back of radio, I didn't really care cause already swapped it out for some fast usb chargers

That setup looks pretty clean! Do you have a link to what you purchased?

I think it's pretty much cheapest way to keep factory settings, keep steering wheel controls, shows climate setting, even has on screen climate controls if have higher trim Ram, retain back up camera, I looked into 8.4 connect with carplay, but no way my wife gonna let me spend that much

If you want to cut the glare down from the glossy screen, I'd see if BroTect has one that fits (or one that can be cut to size). Their matte screen protectors are amazing.

I also noticed today that there is a $30 coupon, if you didn't get that when you purchased one could arrange a "return" of the original for the better price...

I saw that specific radio seems to come with an external mic, did you have to run that or was there a way to get it to connect to the factory mic?

I have yet to see any aftermarket radio that can utilize the OEM mics in Rams...
