I’m no help, but VERY interested to see if you get it to work. The only think I want in the Laramie “level 2” package is the 12” screen. Was hoping a swap would be possible like on the 4th gen’s 3.5” for 8.4”. Will be watching this closely before orderingMy new 2019 Laramie has the 8.4 navigation. I want to swap with navigation with this new 12 inch screen that i bought off of craigslist. I unscrewed the 8.4 inch navigation, and plugged in the new 12 inch navigation.. (all the original plugs, fit right into the new navigation... besides one....)
The screen doesnt come on, but everything else lights up. The parking sensor switches work as well. But the SCREEN doesnt turn on. Any suggestions... please lol
Silly questions but Did you see the screen working before you bought it?My new 2019 Laramie has the 8.4 navigation.

No i didnt see if it was working. But im pretty sure the last plug that i couldnt plug into the 12 inch navigation is the reason for it not turning on. But everything else has turned on.Silly questions but Did you see the screen working before you bought it?
Im praying it could work!I’m no help, but VERY interested to see if you get it to work. The only think I want in the Laramie “level 2” package is the 12” screen. Was hoping a swap would be possible like on the 4th gen’s 3.5” for 8.4”. Will be watching this closely before ordering
I just need help in New York City to install this thing!There is no doubt in my mind that it is possible. It is just a matter of figuring out how. Also, radios on the 4th gens were locked by vin and would not work without the proper programming. This is a mod I will be looking at doing in the future.
You know your stuff! Appreciate the information!I'm willing to bet the module for the 12 inch is a completely different part number from the 8.4, it seems unlikely they are shared considering the functionality and ui is different. Not saying the swap is impossible just not as simple as getting the bigger screen and bolting it in. Not sure about ram as this is my first, but I know on the last gen GM trucks the radio/nav consisted of 3 modules and the screen itself. The screen is merely the user interface, the processor and software is in an HMI located behind the glovebox, I would imagine the ram is a similar setup
I ask no questions as to what he is doing with hisanother silly question any idea what the seller is swapping out his 12" screen with? Im just as curious to know what they're doing as if your's will work.
