[@fadivlogs3318]

What do we select for the 3 options. 1: Chose radio model? 2: select vehicle models? Mine is 2017 SXT challenge. 3: service option?.....iam using the link u gave but the questions there are weird....can u help me with them or tell me what to chose for each question plz .

[@zackallen76]

I got a 2015 Challenger too. I was looking at trying to save up and get an 8.4 professionally installed, because I know my way around a computer and how easily one little mistake can be very costly. But after watching your video that looks to be very easy and has given me the confidence to attempt it myself. 😁

[@quinshawheeler2203]

I called the dealership today and they told me the same thing that it can't be done and I knew they were tripping because I've seen videos of it being done! Thanks for uploading this video! Very helpful!

[@bkehlin]

Man, it's hard to watch you stab that screw driver into the dash.

[@yanic850]

Rooster 2000 lol ikr I was cringing the WHOLE time. I'd be scared to do that to my dart.

[@steveshilt5438]

Rooster 2000 yeah I had a hard time with that too!

[@BoopSnoot]

No shit, the plastic tools for the job are so inexpensive. At the very least, wrap the screw driver in electrical tape... jesus christ!

[@zopound7688]

Astral Eagle yeah he’s kinda reckless

Yeah i almost had a hart attack when I've seen that...

Congrats on upgrading to the 8.4, big improvement over the 5" radio.

[@JRTProductions]

Thanks bro, I appreciate the support for real!

[@marcuswrayboi]

JRTProductions is the process the same with Charger

[@1Grandhustler]

JRTProductions Did you have to reprogram it? I have a 2016 dodge dart with factory radio and wanted to exchange it out for the screen.

[@paperhustles]

Do you get all of the features??? Like remote start especially.

[@justbananaman.8909]

@@paperhustles Remote start doesn't come with the Uconnect, but there are systems to install it in your car

[@marksolomon6089]

Man I really want to get rid of that 5 inch radio on my sxt but God they are so damn expensive.i might have to wait a couple of months for this upgrade since I just bought a borla atak full catback exhaust for my car. Really nice upgrade tho.i know u loving that thing. Keep it up big bro.u doing some great mods in your car!

[@nofilter650]

mark solomon you should make more videos on your car id sub.

[@the7figuremaker]

Yeah, once the word got out about them selling upgraded radios, their business sky rocketed. Now they raised the price to get as much money as possible. They claim the cheaper non nav radio is on back order. I don`t believe it.

[@BaysideSoundz]

But how did you get a sxt with a 5 inch, I thought all SXT came with 8.4 2015 and up

[@dennisfinan7977]

@@BaysideSoundz it coulda been a special order

[@oni101]

Some additional info. If you buy the RA4, Infotainment sells an adapter to go from the blue connected antenna to the greenish color socket. This is the "compass" sensor that after the installation of this "C to K" band adapter wire, you can plug the blue satellite plug into the unit's GPS receiver socket (greenish one). You don't need the 20 dollar part. Each one of these sockets have a set of indexing tabs. They are 2 small tabs at different places around the perimeter so each antenna only goes into one slot and one large one that the clip connects to. If you take a VERY sharp knife and remove these indexing tabs, NOT THE LARGE LOCKING ONE, you can plug the blue coax plug directly into the greenish socket. I did just that and immediately had good GPS on 8 satellites. Also, be VERY careful removing the bezel!! I broke TWO tabs, which then required intense microsurgery with epoxy and individual fiberglass strands.

[@DJBigRick870]

Does this replacement effect Climate control or Sport Mode?

[@mattsedgwick3082]

Hey bro the dealership doesn't think outside the box I've always loved proving them wrong to LOL

[@TUXXREVIEWS]

Hello! Thanks for posting this video. I just purchased my 2017 challenger and sure enough 5" radio.... Ok so I want to upgrade but I do have questions. 1. Does the navigation work? 2. Does the navigation pull the gps info from your connected phone or ?? 3. Does the Sat radio work? I see you dont have the shark fin style antenna, will sat radio work without it? 3. Do the apps all work? Guessing those pull signal from your cell too? Thanks for the feedback. I liked and subbed and will use your link if I but a radio (not sure if you get a referral credit or something). Thanks Keep up the great videos!

Since you’ve done your upgrade, have you had an issues with it? Has it been a well worth it or negative upgrade?

[@aba9389]

nice video man, i just bought a 2015 sxt and definitely i will upgrading to the 8.4 . i was worried that i couldn't upgrade cause i asked to the guys in the dealership and they were pretty negative about that, and they just told me crap . thanks for your video again . greetings from san diego,ca / tijuana,mx

[@JRTProductions]

No problem at all, it's a really good upgrade and worth every dime. Thanks again for the support bro!

[@coreybabson2540]

Great looking challenger man I have a white 15 challenger r/t and love it I had a question when you added the 8.4 inch display did you have to add anything else like new antenna to get Sirius radio to work ?

[@RICHOMIE_]

Good work! Now you need a tazer to unlock those extra features in the radio and EVIC. What part of Georgia you in? I'm in Douglasville I have a tazer if you want to check it out.

[@JRTProductions]

I'm seriously looking into getting that tazer. We should link up, thanks for the support bro!

Great video How much was the new infotainment system?

[@TheAlphaWolfMan]

I love that you manned up and did this shit yourself. But, man, I cringed when you set the screwdrivers down on the trunk. Then you went inside and started jamming the same metal screwdrivers in the trim to wedge that crap out. All I can see is nicks and dings. Those are my own OCD issues. :-D The upgrade looks nice...Great Job! Keep the videos coming.

[@redlionshaker6145]

Great vids, this one is super helpful. Quick question, with a Tazer and this 8.4 update did you get performance pages? Or that option is not available.

[@ridn22z]

Hey, I have a 2019 challenger RT. My vehicle came with the 7" radio. I just upgraded to the 8.4" mines works great. except the back up camera isn't working. did u have this issue

Hey dude what model is the radio RA3, did your car come w XM. I'm having an issue trying to upgrade my screen the dealership say I can upgrade but I see you have the small antenna on the roof. Please let me know what model did you get also, did you get the adapter for the rear view camera from the same company.

[@robrob7432]

Excellent upgrade brother

[@armandolopez5103]

Question for you bro: I have a dart with an 8.4 radio and I wanna switch mine to the charger/challenger looking 8.4. Do you think I'll be able to do it or nah ? The UConnect in the challengers and chargers are waaaay nicer than the Uconnects in the dart so now I want one too lol

Damn thanks for this video definitely subscribed 🙏 I bought my 2017 challenger sxt and it came with the 5in radio and they told me I wouldn't be able to upgrade it that I would have to purchase a car that already came with that screen. I do have a question tho I recently got a backup camera installed would that cause any difficulties when installing the new screen?

[@JRTProductions]

Mister Filmz No problem, let me look it up again. I believe it's the RA4. Lemme double check and I'll get back with you. I believe they have an adapter for the newer radios with Apple carplay for the 15-16 models too.

[@misterfilmz4779]

It came already programmed from Infotainment.com when I received it. Not sure about the one from your part store. To pay that much for a radio I would wanna guarantee that it'll work.

Didn't run into that problem, how long has it been installed? Sometimes setting can take a while to set up, may require the car to fully recognize the new radio.
