2013 Dodge Charger SRT8 Superbee: Episode 12 Vlog: RB5 8.4N Radio Upgrade

[@NoCapAllowedPodcast]

Man I'm so grateful for this video. I've searched so many times to see if I could swap my factory 4.3 radio unit for a larger double din and you not only proved I could but also step by step showed me how. Thank you so much!

[@kingretro9105]

10 yrs later this video is still goated. U made it seem wayyyy easier than the other people thanks a lot bro

[@LastHumansGarage]

tks. i miss my white superbee.

[@DrecoHL]

I couldn’t find the kit through the link in the description could you guys help me out

[@PhillyMotoXTS]

"I can't get my knob off!" Priceless man lol

[@46kvolt]

Great video. Not doing the swap but need to remove these parts for customizing. This may be old news as this is a few years old and I did not go back to read all the comments. I don't think it was a spirited drive the knocked out the missing clip as it appears to be on the floor in the video from about 4:00 - 4:16 ish lol. Great information, Thx!

[@LastHumansGarage]

no issues with anything climatic. the hard buttons work, and the touch screen buttons work too. but thats because i have the dual zone auto-climate package on my car.

[@Randalamarion]

Very nicely done, i been wanting to upgrade mines, thats the reason i settled with an SE, cause i heard it can be upgraded, ive called dodge and mopar, about it, they keep tellin me it cant be done...but i seen your vid, so i plan on buying an radio from ebay, any specific one i should get? RE2? RB5?? i have an 2014 charger.

[@ineedfiles]

Awesome and very descriptive. I lol when you hurried and turned the volume down lol

[@LastHumansGarage]

Sorry about that

[@LastHumansGarage]

nope. i thought about that too. some real CF dash bezel would be nice. You could fit sticker stuff but that would just look cheap.

[@LastHumansGarage]

$1700 shipped or so. You can find used kits for under $1000 but they're getting rare.

[@LastHumansGarage]

About $1525 shipped.

[@sacgyver]

I just bought a new 2014 Charger and I've been checking out your channel for some great install tips. You're videos have been super helpful! Thanks for taking the time to share! Questions for you; when you installed the factory nav unit, did you save the old bezel for the dash? If so, can I buy that off of you?? I'm considering attempting an in-dash iPad install and I'd like to have an extra bezel incase I royally screw it up. Let me know, and keep making awesome videos. Your a champ!

[@LastHumansGarage]

all my charger parts are long gone.

[@pootersdag]

Is there any way that you can the back up park assist camera feature added on?

[@lutherelliott6630]

thanks for the vid man very very helpful

[@LastHumansGarage]

sure

[@QuaabQueb]

Very interesting, I have the police one which is basically and SE, I was wondering if I could do this upgrade buy pulling a system from another stock charger like an RT with the 8.4 system as well as Bluetooth, do you think it would work? Also is it possible to add the necessary buttons on the steering wheel controls ?

[@d5547]

hi, I'm looking a buy a Dodge charger police pursuit and I wanted to know if it is possible to swap the gear shifter from column to floor? and how are you liking the car? is it worth it?

[@951mopar1]

+Daniel A I have had two. I am pretty sure it is possible but it will be very hard.

[@951mopar1]

I want to do the same with mine too. Have you wired your centre console yet.

[@951mopar1]

+Daniel A it is worthy it and most of the time they are less than $11,000

[@QuaabQueb]

Yes it is possible, I would only do it if you buy an old shit one in the hundreds of dollars range. You are also going to need another scrap car to pull the transmission and gear box out of. There are a few forum posts out there of some guys who have done it. There is very little info out there on how to go about it, so you will run in to some challenges

[@LastHumansGarage]

I don't remember if this video showed it, but I did not lose my Superbee animation.

[@roland1947ful]

Hello. I made swap 4.3 to 8.4 and srt mode does not appear in radio?. i have the automotive tazer

[@LastHumansGarage]

bummer!

[@roland1947ful]

I did the same as you. my I have not srt on the radio?

[@kenyagarr8335]

I did the upgrade , everything works but the Navigation. it say acquiring satellite. what do I need to do

[@themanthemyththelegend4053]

They have a special navigating harness I think

[@LastHumansGarage]

Dude.. The Tgm is the rb5 radio... And yes my kit came with it.

[@LastHumansGarage]

i dont know what that is. what i do know, is my sirius/xm now has some traffic thingy working. sometimes when im driving the radio will turn down and a voice will say "traffic ahead". but its mostly useless, and i never see the traffic they are mentioning anyway.

[@joker90029]

Its a feature that gives u gas prices nearby , movie listings, weather updates maybe animated. Its called sirius Xm travel link. My nav says the same thing from time to time "traffic ahead "

[@RoyRogers24]

so the question is did the 4.3 have Sat. radio cause this video doesnt show him putting the antenna on the roof for Sat. or Nav.?

[@LastHumansGarage]

Yes I had satellite already. Plus the satellite antenna

[@relikvija]

Great video!

[@LastHumansGarage]

+relikvija thanks

[@kbeast98]

This video has inspired me to upgrade my 09 Challengers stock radio with the Nav one for no real good reason..my only issue is i want the latest one that does bluetooth audio...still researching...

[@bigshys]

Got 2014 where can I get the radio uconnect 8.4

[@PhillyMotoXTS]

Looks good! Hopefully I can get this done to mine someday!

[@AZuLD3ViL]

I watched your vid a while back and did the upgrade ! It turned out awesome!. I just did another upgrade tho and was wondering if you had any advice. Got a metra kit and installed a double din as well but lost the use of the 8.4. Any help?

[@ulyssesbenton8082]

did you have to give steve white motor yo vin to see if you car would work with the upgrade

[@ericanthony0813]

Nice ride men i hope i get one soon

[@darkside6101]

Can you use the same harness from the 4.3 on the 8 inch screen?

[@thatdodgeguy7414]

Can I do this to my 2013 Dodge Charger se

[@RUBENSITO20]

LastHumansGarage what he said..

[@SideQuestUnc]

+Bernard Bolton yea

[@sergioreyes1329]

Do I need to change the climate also or can I just change the screen itself

[@breemattia8793]

I was wondering if you knew of anywhere that I can purchase this kit now. I went on amazon from your description and they don't have any available. I have been looking everywhere. I was so excited by your video but now I can't find the kit :(

[@LastHumansGarage]

no, its pretty hard to find now. i couldnt even find it on ebay today. you can buy it all separately, new from dealer, but you'll prob be over $2000...

[@breemattia8793]

I found the new dash , do you know where I could find the correct 8.4 radio to put in

[@pdiz]

Does the factory Super Bee model (the one with the smaller display like yours, not the 2014 one that got changed due to government back-up camera regulation), have UConnect? I CANNOT find how to access it at all.

[@LastHumansGarage]

i never used uconnect

[@pdiz]

@@LastHumansGarage I guess I'm not missing anything, I don't even know what it really is. I wanted to try it out, but I guess whatever network it runs on was decommissioned and the old systems don't work without some update, so I'm not going to bother.

[@RoastinNdRaging]

@@pdizso do you use usb aux in order to play ur music? I use to have a 2014 srt8 but I might get a superbee. Main concern is going to the 4.3 radio seems like a huge deal considering I won't be able to check my temps n stuff anymore convently. Also do the 2012s 6.4s with 4.3 still have sport ?

[@LastHumansGarage]

don't know, havent tried yet.

[@DirtyDogDalton]

Is the rear view camera compatible to be added to the RB5?

[@Fishj83]

Great video! How does your Bluetooth phone options work if you don't have the call buttons on the steering wheel

[@SideQuestUnc]

+Fishj83 it should just pop up on the screen

[@Fishj83]

+souualo is there a mic needed though when answering on the screen? Or are you answering on the screen and still talking through your phone?

[@SideQuestUnc]

its all bluetooth.if ur phone is hooked up to ur car (radio) by bluetooth you can have calls and/or text messages go straight to your screen.if u get a call itll pop up on ur screen and mute ur music if its playing.u can accept or deny the call just like a phone.if u accept then EVERYBODY in the car will hear your convo as ALL the speakers in ur car (even the rear window) will have whoevers talking come out. get it? ur car has a mic already u just drive and talk and they will hear you

[@MarcoTopG]

Does this screen come with Bluetooth?

[@LastHumansGarage]

Can't remember.. this was over 10 years ago.

[@MotionRRP]

Did you get a copy-write notice for the speaker comparison?

[@ThePopfrazz]

How much did this entire process cost?

[@jamesscott5729]

What parts did you need to install the 8.4 Uconnect besides the actual 8.4 inch screen?

[@LastHumansGarage]

the head unit. the dash bezel.

[@chynenoble8347]

Why did you switch out the deck? Do you have too if your switching the touch screens?

[@VehicleMods]

HEY GREAT VIDEO. I just 2014 charger se with the connectivity package. My problem is i have a lot of background static on the FM radio. Everything else like bluetooth amd Aux cd ipod all sound fine only fm sounds nasty surprisingly the AM sounds crystal clear. I have been on countless forums trying to fix this. Is there anything you can recommend me doing besides taking to the dealer since they always come out with unable to replicate problem. Would switching the am to fm antennas in the back work. Any info would help Greatly. THANKS A MILLION.

[@Whyyoumadcuz__]

Now will you have srt8 performance pages ? im buying the same one tommorow

[@LastHumansGarage]

i dont think so

[@Whyyoumadcuz__]

@@LastHumansGarageis there any way to get them ? that’s kinda ass

LastHumansGarage, I have a 2012 Charger SE without the auto climate controls. Im gonna try to upgrade but I know I most likely will not be able to use the auto climate feature. Hopefully ill be able to control the temperature somehow. Is there a way to add auto climate control? Will buy a new HVAC bezel that has an auto function give you this feature?

[@LastHumansGarage]

no, you have sensors and all kinds of stuff you need.

[@jordonmikelaitis2763]

LastHumansGarage I thought that would be the case. Think the upgrade would have any success minus the use of the automatic climate controls? I know it won't function but you do think ill still be able to adjust the temperature?

[@marquisdorsey7424]

How about the back up camera does it work and could you get a factory back up camera installed if you don't have one?

[@LastHumansGarage]

i think it would work which people said. but i would have had to buy the whole kit and harness front to back and everything. and probably have to go to the dealer to have it coded too.

[@marquisdorsey7424]

Ok thanks

[@Mr503Productions]

Yea, how much did it cost? I'll like to upgrade mine.

Is the code u put in just for screen or the head unit? I found a head unit and bezel from a charger but I can get the 8.4 inch screen by itself from someone else. I'm trying to upgrade my 4.2 inch screen from my dodge charger SE

[@LastHumansGarage]

for the head unit. the screen is just a screen.

Hey good afternoon I have a 2011 dodge charge Se and I was wondering will I be able to get this upgrade as well I'm really tired of the baby screen thanks so much...please reply 😬

[@LastHumansTech]

+Kendra BadAzz i think you can do it on any charger of the same generation really. but that's what forums are for, to ask around.

[@battalion18]

Great video, thanks for sharing!! I'm currently playing the waiting game for my locked screen to sync with my car, bought the kit from the same person you did.. just had one variation with my car, I have the 2012 SXT with the 8 speed transmission so I had the different shift lever, but still found instructions for that and was a quick adjustment.

[@LastHumansGarage]

nice one. that was a fun upgrade for sure. and well worth it.

[@ShadowFiend198400]

Can switching between 8.4 and stock small 4 inch screen on the bee will show u SRT options like HP meter and gforce etc?

[@LastHumansGarage]

no, it doesnt work like that. if you didnt get the performance pages to begin with, you won't have them after the new screen either. (but some special edition chargers did come with the SRT performance pages.)

[@ShadowFiend198400]

LastHumansGarage much appreciation .. thank u for ur time man ..
