Does anybody know if 5th gen switch panel like shown in pic is compatible with 4th gen or aftermarket panel available that looks like 5th gen switches. I really like the look of these switches and want to install in my 2016 ram 1500

I "think" they work when you do the 12" screen upgrade mod. It requires changing the whole radio bezel and doesn't fit into the 4th Gen HVAC bezels.

So you can’t just take out 4th gen switch panel and put in 5th gen one ?? Roughly they look about same size and dimensions

I do not know if fit, but maybe look at lower switch panels for the 8.4 radios instead of 12" if they are different? Wat I have in my lowly Bighorn.
