Well i spent the last two days reading this thread and going to beat this horse for the 100th time but....
Ive got a 2013 laramie longhorn 2500 8.4 with navigation..
I would like to do this 12.1, what exactly do i need to make this work.
I would also like to have the wifi/cellular working if that is possible.
Id also like info on the newer 8.4, as I'd like to have the bigger screen. But really after the android auto.
Thank you and sorry for beating this horse. Main reason I ask again is because I read needing something to do with obd. And most people doing this dont have nav, but I do.

Quick question for anyone who has done the swap and ordered a bezel through a parts warehouse, i am currently waiting on my bezel to get here but was wondering if the bolts that are needed to attach the screen to the bezel will come with it or should i get them seperately? If so, does anyone have the size?

This thread deals with the 5th gens 2019+ 1500 and 2500. This is not a direct swap for 2013-2018 rams. For what you’re after, (Android auto), you should just get the UAQ 8.4” radio out of a 2018 ram. You would also need a media hub out of a 2018, also, along with a conversion cable for it- https://www.kaodtech.com/product-page/uaq-uas-harness
Here’s the answer I gave someone else in this thread that was asking about swapping a 12” into a 2013-2018 ram- https://5thgenrams.com/community/threads/8-4-to-12-1-screen-replacement.2344/post-279178

Call the parts guy at a dealer and see if he’ll give it to you based off the original VIN of the radio module and serial number. Otherwise, you can get it here for $13- https://www.ivgsoft.com/

Curious why there’s not a sticky post with all required parts and their associated part #’s and step by step to help eliminate all the repetitive questions and any confusion for the not so handy ones. I’ve acquired all parts and awaiting their arrival, will be swapping out 2019 1500 bighorn 8.4 W/Nav for the 12” think I’m prepared (LoL) once all arrives this week. Appreciate all that have gave input into the swap process and required parts.

Because it's not something you just go to the dealer and buy, you buy the complete bezel and screen + module from a junk yard or something like that...
There are tons of different part #s for this swap...
purchased Full display w/bezel and all control buttons/knobs from LKQ came out of 2019 Limited donor still has factory plastic on the display and in the donor truck photos seats still had plastic on them rear end collision may have been a new truck. had to get the module from Chryslerpartsgeek cheapest I found, LKQ was of no help trying to get the module from the same donor truck as it wasn’t listed. Im aware the part# changes most listings state what the previous part# that model is replacing, a pinned sticky would make it a lot easier than weeding through all the repetitive questions and back and forth between all the pages to try and find each step of the install or a given part and edited if someone finds a newer part# or install step. Give them known working module part# and if it changes it’s on them to do the homework
All in all I managed to source everything thanks to everyone and feel confident in the swap thanks to all the instructions scattered around in this thread. Hope all goes well- Joined

How did you verify that you currently have that part number? Have you pulled the center stack and layed eyes on it?
(SMH) I assumed as when I looked up the part # it was listed as for 8.4” w/Nav, just pulled my center display off and I’ve got Module 68307655AI
You have the correct module number for 8.4 Nav. It does not work with 12 inch
