Updating your Dodge Chrysler vehicle is super easy with this Uconnect 8.4C Swap Upgrade. My 2016 Hellcat had the older Uconnect RA3 unit and this was a plug and play upgrade to a more modern 8.4 Uconnect unit.

A little late to the party. I just acquired a 2006 Magnum SRT8 and stumbled on to your channel because the radio from the interior was gutted by the previous owner and and I'm trying to get it back to stock. Although it's way older then your Challenger an a different beast, you post a lot of good information that I can use. Mostly that up until a total model change not many changes from year to year with interiors and wiring. good stuff to know. Your garage and set-up are awesome! I only wish I could have my garage as organized as yours! LOL!

There is another difference that separates the hellcats built in 15-16 the intake is smaller and not a cone rather just using the head light and box vs 17 and up srt had the genius idea of switching to map sensors which allowed them to fit a fat intake that is sealed off from the engine bay except integrated the hood as a ram along with the light which is where the 10 hp comes from and by far superior in design. I have a 16 and that was one of the things I’m stuck with. Good video man, thanks for the knowledge. 👍

@mikew6135 Жыл бұрын

Yep I'm STUCK with my 10hp less intake too. LOL! Too funny. I feel like I'm at such a disadvantage with my legmaker on my 2016 making 17lbs boost. Maybe I should trade up.😵‍💫 I don't have the widebody either. So I'm missing out on the extra weight that option provides too. Maybe I should ditch my Forgeline GA3's for some heavy stock widebody wheels and stick on some plastic flares. I feel like I'm missing out

@@mikew6135 can’t tell if your being serious or sarcastic? Either way I have the same thing going on with my hellcat no wide body no newer style intake and a maf. You have got a point the rims do weigh more and so does the flair. Also lose a bit of aerodynamics pushing air. Yeah can’t see doing a switch for that now maybe a redeye only for the bigger blower but that’s nothing after market can’t solve and better. Of course redeye have stronger components as well such as drive shaft, half shafts and axles, even the block has better cooling but the regular 717 hellcat is not really better or worth the exchange to make that happen in my opinion.

There is a small rectangle with a line through it on each corner maybe a edit logo??

Yup, really works regardless of trim level since the configuration of the Uconnect System is stored in the Body Control Module. So as the radio updates for the first time, only the features that came with the vehicle will be installed. So you wouldn't get say, Preformance Pages, unless you already had them originally installed. If you are looking to "add" features that didn't originally come with the vehicle, you can buy a device called the "TAZER" which will allow you to add features such as Preformance Pages and Line Lock, plus literally dozens more, without voiding your warranty and is completely reversible. They sell for $250 and I have never had a problem with either one that I have purchased
