I have the chance to buy a headunit with the number 68307655AG can anyone please tell me if this will go right into a 2017 ram 1500 w/ the upgraded hub and harness? Thanks for the help!

Nope. A Google search/eBay shows that's a new body style 5th Gen radio module with separate display screen.I have the chance to buy a headunit with the number 68307655AG can anyone please tell me if this will go right into a 2017 ram 1500 w/ the upgraded hub and harness? Thanks for the help!
I’ve been doing as much research as I can but haven’t been able to come up with a definite answer. I’m hoping someone can help. I’m about to pull the trigger on the updated/larger Screen gauge cluster from a 2018 ram 1500 and purchase a UAQ 8.4 “programmed” radio with bezel with single climate and USB harness. Can anyone give me some insight of the possibility of turn by turn navigation functioning properly in the Gauge cluster screen? Are there any steps I’m missing that I may need to take to make this work properly? The truck is a 2017 tradesman 1500 with uconnect 3.0 with 5” screen. Thanks in advance!
So to be clear… this is a cluster with 7” screen from a 2017 donor. And I would be trying to display 2018 UAQ connect turn by turn directions on it. Aren’t the 2018 clusters different than the 2017?Radios aren't "programmed" to the truck, this is marketing hype pushed by certain sellers... The radios actually read your vehicle configuration from the BCM and configure themselves. (you'll also find that a 14-17 1500 4c UAq/UAs upgrade requires more than a basic 8.4 HVAC conversion).
The 2018 cluster should display turn by turn from the 18 UAq. Biggest issue from my understanding is that if your 17 truck is a gas truck, you get a gas cluster (vs diesel) and if you have the 8spd trans, that the cluster is from an 8spd truck also (vs 6spd & vice versa) to avoid flashing (P) error on the new cluster.
I also have a 2013 truck, what potential issues are you referring to? The radio I am looking at is out of a 2020 truck (68422051AD). From my understanding the only benefit to getting the radio out of a 2018 is for the themes?Replied to your email/submission.
It is a valid 4th Gen 4c USA UCQ radio PN but there are potential issues to discuss with your 2013 truck. I will look for your reply email.
I guess the question is does anyone have an actual picture of the front/back of the 68528238AC unit to see if it's physically the same as previous model (68461699AC) it's supposed to replace? ... ie same 52 pin radio connector, 1 piece radio & screen, etc?
The main reason to upgrade to a '18 or newer radio (UAS/UAQ) is for the AndroidAuto/CarPlay support. The factory navigation leaves much to be desired.From my understanding the only benefit to getting the radio out of a 2018 is for the themes?
Got a picture of the OEM side sticker with Panasonic Internal model # ? (ie, maybe ... CN-SC2DNxxx )Here's a pic of the back of the 68528238AC unit. Installed it and it's good to go.
As expected, the radio took overnight to normalize. The cargo cam was the last thing to start working, but everything is working 100% now.

& What application version?
Do you have a link to the thread for the Cargo Cam install?Here's a pic of the back of the 68528238AC unit. Installed it and it's good to go.
I also added an OEM Cargo Cam and Passive Entry/Keyless Go push button start while I was at it. Aside from basically removing my entire interior and all 4 door panels, it went relatively smooth.

Thanks to @Mpgrimm2 and @DoughRat19 for all the help!
I don't recall seeing a thread for the cargo cam install. I got instructions from the builder of the wiring harness I used.Do you have a link to the thread for the Cargo Cam install?
Amazing thread. quite confused now though.
I have a Canadian 2016 ecodiesel outdoorsman with the 8.4 screen no Nav and I also have dual control temperature. I have bucket seats with a center console.
Also a backup Camera.
I was thinking my truck was burning oil and was about to get rid of it but My buddy a diesel mechanic says its just running a little rich.
SO I AM KEEPING IT.
Celebrating with finally upgrading the radio. Thought I had a clue but now I am quite confused as to what I need for a ecodiesel. Seems the more I read the more confused I get.
Thanks for any help.
I think I have the same truck.
I have the 8.4 non nav and auto temp with the driver and passenger temp settings.
Seems I have the same setup as you. I have a 3d printer. Not sure if it works(been a while.).
Can you use 8.4s from 2018 through 2022 or are we limited to 2018 units?
thanks much for the help. You have cleared a lot up. I was really worried about the ecodiesel issue (habit lol).
