Infotainment.com - 12" UAX Installation - Ram Rebel

In this video I install the UAX 12" touchscreen in my 2020 Ram Rebel using the turn key kit from Infotainment.com. The kit includes everything you need to upgrade your factory 5" or 8.4" screen to the UAX kit which is the massive 12" screen. This systems runs Uconnect 4 and has wired Apple CarPlay.
Here is the kit I ordered:
infotainment.c...
The overall installation is VERY easy and the end product is a huge upgrade for the interior of the Ram. Be careful with trim panels and take your time unsnapping the existing console so you do not snap trim tabs or scratch your interior. USE A TOWEL TO PROTECT YOUR CENTER CONSOLE!
HUGE shoutout to the Infotainment.com Tech Support team (Dave, Dani, and Greg) for answering some of my questions along the way!
Any other questions let me know! Be on the look out, I have some fun videos on deck for the truck.

Best install video I’ve seen so far. Nicely done!

[@danielfletcher1384]

WF41, Great straight forward video. I have the 12" in my 21 Rebel, but enjoy your videos, so decided to see how easy the swap was. I highly recommend you get a matte screen protector from the OCD Plug. You won't regret the purchase. You will never have fingerprints. I had a regular Mopar screen protector on it and didn't like it. Anyway, wanted to suggest the screen protector and maybe another video topic.

[@WaterFowler41]

Thanks much! I’ll look into it

[@northwoodsproductions3421]

If it wasn’t $4,000 I would buy one

[@WaterFowler41]

Gotta pay to play with these new trucks these days

[@5555-r9i]

You can get one aftermarket for 800

[@WaterFowler41]

@@5555-r9i the $800 unit is a cheap android tablet. You lose features by using those tablets.

[@72armydad]

What is the difference between the OEM 12 inch vs this 12 inch dispaly

[@WaterFowler41]

Aftermarket is an android based tablet which is why it’s so much cheaper. Install is quite a bit more intensive. With some of the cheaper options you lose features. Also if you wear polarized sunglasses the cheaper screens are harder to see. Most folks who install the cheaper aftermarket ones end up replacing them after a few months when the novelty wears off and they realized they sacrificed quality/features by going the cheaper route.

[@shockracer]

Now we just need a 4th gen kit, HAHAHA!

[@angelr4429]

I need a similar upgrade…however it’s for my 2016 dodge charger. Comes with the older system that doesn’t have android auto and Apple car play. Just seems a little pricy for me (going from ra3 to ra4 8.4” screen). For you, that’s a bigger upgrade.

[@adalidmunoz1311]

Ai need send work and my truck

[@tippysvids]

Nice. I'd love to see a feature breakdown of what that thing can do. 😊

[@WaterFowler41]

There’s a list on Infotainment.com’s site. I have everything except Sirius since I let that feature expire

I just upgrade my 8.4 screen to 12” but my a/c and bottoms from the screen doesn’t work do u know why?

[@jeffojibway9284]

Can you keep the remote services? Like lock unlock doors from your phone? See the tire pressure and location of truck on your Ram app?

[@WaterFowler41]

I’ve never thought about the app, I’ll try and report back

[@spurs5677]

I found one for 600$ I spent an extra 99 for the bypass and 65$ for the extra 2 cables that you need online and since I didn’t know the anti theft code I spend another 10$ to get it

[@WaterFowler41]

cool, only risk there is lack of warranty.

[@chrissmith3816]

@waterfowl Do you know if the Wi-Fi is working fine? Was there anything needed to update for att to get hotspot working again? Getting ready to swap to one but wanted to check and see if there is something needed

[@u.s.machineryassociates30]

It looks like you know what you are doing. Maybe you can help me out. I have a 2023 Ram 1500 Longhorn. I cannot figure out why the buttons around the infotainment screen and the steering wheel buttons are not lit during the day. Do you have or is there a way to get these buttons to be lit during the day?

[@jazairi213]

Maybe your dim switch for the dash is turned all the way up. Is the cluster and radio really bright at night?

[@felipeleon9536]

Do you have all parts numbers ,screen,radio module, wire , etc

[@WaterFowler41]

It’s a kit from infotainment. For me it was more practical to buy a turn key kit than trying to piecemeal everything together.

[@CShell-cx5fp]

I purchased the 12" screen and brain from a wrecked Ram. Can the programming software be purchased separately? I have the radio in, but it won't come on.

[@WaterFowler41]

I’m not sure, you can try reaching out to the OBD Genie team

I am not sure if there are retrofitters selling turnkey kits yet.

[@Son_of_Thor]

Great video, but did you mention anywhere that infotainment wants $4000 for that thing?

[@WaterFowler41]

Thanks! Keep in mind quality isn’t cheap and cheap isn’t quality. A lot of parameters in these trucks are controlled through these radios so not something I’d suggest cutting corners on.

[@1jdm408]

Did you had navigation before the 12” my rebel don’t have navigation can I still upgraded to the 12” screen ?
