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.com/shop/interio...
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!

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 No worries, I'm sure it's not an issue otherwise the company selling the package would have mentioned it. Awesome upgrade, convinced me to do it. I have the 8.4 NAV, so the glossy bezel which makes the screen seem bigger, but after seeing the 12", I have to do it :)

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

@WaterFowler41 5 ай бұрын

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.

@angelr4429 Жыл бұрын

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.
