Do you make a harness to install the 12.1” into a 4th Gen (in my case a 2018 2500 longhorn) currently have the 8.4 with nav?PM sent.
I got your reply (via email) to my previous post about the harness. I can’t see your reply on here I’m not that familiar with forums my apologies. How I get the ball rolling for that harness please?
I am trying to finish up my parts list for my 12.1 upgrade from the 8.4 w/ nav. If I am understanding correctly, the module I have in the truck from my 8.4 will work with the 12.1?If you’re still looking for parts numbers I have some. I just upgraded my 8.4 non nav 4c to the 12” uconnect 5 system. I’m still stoked over it every time I get in my truck!
Module # 68507350AB - works with 8.4 or 12”
12” screen (center stack) # 68526609AB
This center stack is for the diesel with traction control and hazard button at the top without lane assist.
Bezel for the 12” screen # 6UV473X9AB
This one is silver and black with the carbon fiber at the top by the 12v port.
You’ll also need a custom harness that I believe Jimmy07 can help you out with.
You’ll also need Alfa obd to program it
If you look hard enough you’ll find different part numbers for different interior options.
Fist thing I did after hook up was to update it from 23.13 to 26.15
Hope this helps.
I went from the 8.4 to the 12 and didn't cut anything down..plainly plug and play with this adapter cable.Wasn't there an adapter cable Jimmy made? I went from the 8.4 to the 12 and didn't cut anything down..plainly plug and play with this adapter cable.
**SEE PICTURE...You need #4 cable made. This adapter converts the harness from the 8.4 to the 12 w/hvac controls*

Jimmy, how much do you charge to build the cable? My 8.4 has NavIf your original radio is an 8.4 non-nav, you need an adapter harness for that black HVAC connector (like @Wheelz identified above).
You also need the LVDS cable that links the screen to the radio. There is no separate part number for that for the 2022 UC5 radios, and a UC4 lvds cable won’t work, it has to be custom made. I can build both of those for you if you need them.
Jimmy07 what is the step for bum programming in Alfa obd . ( 8.4 to 12 ) Uconnect 5 —- 2023 Ram 2500 thanks
