Hi there,

As per the instructions im simply saying hello. Currently have a 2024 2500 Laramie with a 6.7. I'm not able to leave anything alone for long so...I've already made a few upgrades. I'll post a few pics of my latest mod when complete, under tailgate defused lighting. I see lots of thin LED lightbars between the bumper and tailgate I figured I go a bit different. After that I'll be removing the shark fin and replacing with the other sides matching puck. Yep don't care about the loss of Nav etc. At the same time cab lights when all parts come in.

Hope all is well out there-

Dave

Welcome.

"The puck is sdars/gps.
On the shark fin, the white is am/fm, one of the dual magenta is cell, and the other is WiFi for export vehicles."

Boy, this isn't turning out as simple as I had hoped. I've done some research and came to the following conclusions:

RAM used Fakra connectors for the antennas. Fakra conventions are as follows:

Cream Fakra B is AM/FM (may also carry power).
Signal Blue Fakra C is GPS.
Claret Violet Fakra D is cell phone.
Curry Fakra K is SDARS Satellite AM/FM.
Water Blue Fakra Z is universal fit without keys.

2018 and earlier shark fin antennas (eg, P/N 05091278AA) had a wire for cell (Claret Violet Fakra D) and a wire for GPS/SDARS (Curry Fakra K). The thick wire in the harness is for cell...

My idea is more for a visual match on the roof, xm is all I really use.
