Since i’ts been confirmed that 2022 Ram 1500 will support Uconnect 5, do you think that 2019 Ram 1500 owners will be able to update their system to Uconnect 5. If not, do you think we will be able to replace our current infotainment aiment system with the new Uconnect 5 version?

Info: I currently own a 2019 Ram 1500 Limited.

Hopefully someone can chime in and confirm:
Do I need a module from my specific trim?

I know I need the screen, module, wiring harness adapter, bezel with my correct buttons (lane dept. & Park assist), security bypass harness & alfaobd.

What i can't find out is if any uconnect 5 module will work for me? I have a 2019 limited with the Harmon Kardon premium stereo.

I've found a 2022 module from a Rebel on eBay and am trying to confirm before I purchase.

Thanks in advance for any advice.

No you don’t. I have a Laramie and the screen/module I put in are from a limited. Keep in mind the bezel won’t match though unless you buy separately to match your trim. The limited trim in my Laramie didn’t bother me and looks good. So to each their own 🤷🏻‍♂️

Anyone know how to get the latest update to be able to download to the uc5 since no over air available ?

The latest stable version for download is 27.46. I would not upgrade as there were some reports of glitches with them. Check this thread.

Assuming this is the uc version but heard there’s def a newer one and wanted to see how to get

Read post number 15 and click the download link.

I didn’t see a link in post 15. That being over 4 years old, I wasn’t sure if there was a way to download and install new update since ota isn’t an option for a uc5 transplant. At least right now .

Thanks for the download. Any specific way to install it? Just raw files on root drive of usb?

Don't extract the file. Put the zip file in the root of the USB drive and insert the drive in the USB plug, it'll do the rest.

You definitely won’t be able to upgrade your current software to Uconnect 5, but should be able to swap in the Uconnect 5 radio module. The single main radio connector you currently have will need to be adapted to two connectors for the Uconnect 5 radio module. Also, the USB cable that links the media hub to the radio module uses a different connector port on the UC5 module, and we’re trying to hunt down that part number. A few of us have already ordered Uconnect 5 radio modules to try out. I’m not sure if the current 12” screen used with UC4 needs to be swapped out with a new screen, but we’re hoping not.

I have done some reasearch and I have found that if you have a 2019 Ram 1500 (not the classic) you can upgrade to the uconnect 5 12 inch system. I have a link below. you can find him on YouTube. His page is weekend Garage. he has all of the cables you need as well to connect 4 to 5.
one thing he did say is that you will need the Uconnect 5 radio module. He even has the part numbers as well.. I will list them below.
