Recently joined the forum and have seen alot of great advice on mods and fixes for my 2017 cc Express 1500 5.7 hemi. I decided to swap out my RA1 for the larger 8.4 Ra3 and after install the anti-theft prompted for a code. So my question is how do i obtain a code to unlock radio without the old VIN and what adapters do i need for the climate controls to work properly on the new bezel. thanks

You can get the unlock code for $10 to $20 several places online. If you have the VIN from the donor truck you can get it from the dealer. As far as the conversion harness goes contact @M2mods who is in the vendor section of the forum. He makes the harness plus can provide any pieces you may be missing to complete the upgrade. He is a member of the forum and one of the people who helped develop many of the harnesses we use. His harness are extremely nice and look like factory.

I use a website called https://www.carstereocode.com/unlock.php?mk=8 for unlock codes. I think an RA3 code is $8 through them.

Talked with my local dealer and even though I understand wanting to make sure I'm "legit". They wanted me to bring in a bill of sale, actual title, invoice and the F'ing truck is absurd! Best 10.60 (plus tax) I ever spent. Would have spent more than that alone of my time and gas!
