8.4" to 12.1" screen replacement

[MannymanX]

WOW check this out guys!
This guy is converting 8.4" to 12" by programming the existing head unit
after the programming, you just need to plug the new screen(SAME HEAD UNIT ) and update the system again...
They sell the whole kit (With the screen and programmer) for 399 Euros. I'll try to get it and give an update...

Seen that video a few times, always alil suspect of overseas sellers. Was gonna pull the trigger on it but don’t wanna be the test Rat Lol. All I need to do is source 68317978AH or similar module which is becoming a monumental task. Wish LKQ sold them from the same donor vehicles that the 12” displays are coming from. My initial order through a mopar parts seller was cancelled due to purchase restrictions, stated my local dealership would have to put in a s.t.a.r request. This sucks cause it’s the last piece I need.

Customtronix has been around for a while doing stuff for the 4th gens, and I would definitely trust their programming. But...$450 for the kit, when you can find the correct module for cheaper than that if you’re patient, takes away your ability to recoup the cost of the upgrade by not having an 8.4 nav radio module to sell off as a complete kit. You basically have to check car-part and LKQ hourly and stay on top of it. I’d imagine infotainment pays someone to just search junkyards all day and swoop in to buy up all this stuff.

They just replied to my email saying that:
"Hi!

Our upgrade system is only for export vehicles outside USA! It’s not suitable for your car

You mean you can find a complete swap for $450??
Their $450 option comes complete with screen, bezel and all the programming tools needed for this project.

I guess I’ll need to see a link for them explaining that the screen and bezel is included. The only thing I’m seeing is 399 euros for the conversion license and token.

Ahh, now I gotcha. It’s only available for purchase to import upfitter dealers, so unobtainium to anybody else.

Yeah... That's a bummer...
IDK how they can sell it for this price... MAN! Swedish people are different lol... look at Infotainment dot com... The next 5th gen uconnect swap will probably be $12,000

My question would be what kind of software update are they doing that the brain module didn’t need to be swapped out. Need a US coder to figure that one out

That is an excellent question. They are just entering the radio module and changing the screen configuration and some internal software to allow the split screen. I think everthing that is in the 8.4 Nav is the same that is in the 12 inch. Someone must have figured out a hack via a token key to get into the software via usb to allow this. If that company got their hands on it, it would be nice to find out who did it. If you could pay say $100.00 for the software, it would be worth it for sure.

$400

You need to call the dealer with your VIN and he will provide you with the pin code

Yeah I just got it finally, the dealership didn’t even black out their login info so I think I can get any code I need now. Have the dealership code and everything.

What??? What do you mean?

 

[Zilla]

Hello...I’m thinking about buying a used 12 screen for my Big Horn to do the swap. Can you tell me what parts I will need to make it happen? Any links to the proper parts would be greatly appreciated.

 

[Zilla]

Dont need body harness. cables for each camera to CVPM are sold separately.
My list of needed parts for 360 -- maybe missing a few things
I have not done anything yet.

Is this the parts list? If so it won’t open. File broken or corrupt.

 

[Bflo_J]

Anyone end up with a non matching bezel when they did their swap? The one I have is from a Rebel w/red accent and is in excellent condition would swap for one that matches my interior trim
