Really appreciate you making this vid! This helped me out big time. I bought a used 2018 3500 Laramie last year with a messed up head unit, and replacing the screen with this Linkswell. Weird...the Laramie doesn't have a couple of the plugs you used, but then has a couple that the Tradesman doesn't...I can confirm that hard metal cable seems to be the factory radio. Mine has an additional purple and yellow just like it that no longer plug to anything...guessing either of those are XM Satellite. Testing/tuning/beer drinking today :) ***For those with Laramie trim, make sure you remove the cup holder trim first before the front bezel. It's just 1 screw, and make sure you take out that additional screw that is hiding in the cubby hole above the power outlet!

Just ordered one, thanks for the video very helpful, i ordered one because my manual hvac control board is acting up and I've heard that the new control board is 700 so for 1100 i figured I'd upgrade everything and not have to worry about the board ever again, this system can also be upgraded if you download the app

Greetings, I installed one of these in My 2015 Ram 3500 Tradesman. About a month or two after having it in, an engine code popped for the Ambient Air temperature module. Didn't think anything of it, changed it, cleared the code and it popped again a few weeks later.......then my front windows would stop working intermittently and would begin working again.......then one time the radio just wouldn't come on for a couple days.....I thought it was trashed but it came back on......was wondering if anyone else had this issue?

We've been running different directions a lot but he says he really likes it. I haven't had a chance to use it myself. I was going to buy one for my Silverado but it wouldn't work with the autosync and i would loose my wifi through OnStar. I will call and ask him just to make sure. Have you seen his review video? If not i can send you a link to it and his email is in the description if you had questions. Does your truck have the small screen like his did?

@miguelitomigra543
@miguelitomigra543 2 года назад
WHEW! That's a wiring mess! Great vid man, thanks for your hard work. So in reviewing this I'm struggling to see what the benefit is. Now, I've upgraded from the small unit to the 8.4" Uconnect Nav unit. If I install this unit, correct me if I'm wrong, if I don't have cell signal most apps are dead in the water, no? Because Android radios rely on cell service. No satellite nav, no satellite SiriusXM. What's more, the OEM sat ant doesn't appear to work and neither does the OEM mic. Why add a second? And I bet you lose the "turn by turn" on the evic as well as some other functions. This really doesn't appear to be "plug 'n play". Yeah, it's cheaper than an 8.4 uconnect, but boy it sure is lacking some critical features. These Android systems have great potential, but I don't think they're ready for prime time. Always looking for something new, not sure this is it though. Thanks again brother.
@CFarmer

Off camera we tried routing them every way that we could. The first Linkswell went right in and fit perfectly (no cutting) but it was defective and this one was defiantly different. I'm not saying it couldn't be done without cutting it out but I wasn't seeing how to make it work and the owner said cut it.
