8.4" to 12.1" screen replacement

[Bsaylor]

Whatever you do don’t get impatient like me and get a jumper cable instead of repining wires!

Used a jumper and all is good.

I installed my 12.1 screen yesterday. With all the information I got from all you guys here, was more than enough to have a flawless installation. IT WORKS GREAT !!!!! An SPECIAL THANKS to "Thomas1023" , "Bsaylor" and "Ochoa1801" who where very close to me on this journey. Will keep and eye on the thread just in case anyone new to this needs a hand. THANKS AGAIN FELLOWS !!!

I have a 2019 Bighorn with the 8.4 and looking to upgrade to the 12.1. Has anyone put all the information for the install in one place or a single how to post? I have found the nfo throughout the post but nothing specific. Thanks

Its works now. I blew a fuse when I was repinning the harness and that caused the codes. Everything seems to be working on the unit. Sirius included. Anyway to find out how long is left on a sirius subscription from a used unit? I'm sure there is an answer in this thread somewhere. Thanks again to all those who contributed to this thread. It was all very helpful!

Would you mine telling me which fuse you blew the same thing happend to me

I agree I am in the same boat.

I searched "68317978al" for the multi-media and seems like it does not exist anymore. Anyone aware of a new part number?

I have a 21 Rebel with the 8.4 non nav, my bezel is the red trim with carbon fiber on top. Does anyone have links or part numbers to exactly what I need? Is it possible to buy the screen/module and put them on my current bezel? Any help would be appreciated

You will need a new bezel for the 12" screen. Sorry, don't have a part number.

So been reading and think I'm about to swap from the 8" non nav to the 12", I do have a semi relatable question. I have the 7" color dash cluster, but since it's a non nav truck I don't have access to the backgrounds and options like that. Will switching to the 12" make that possible or is there a difference in the 7" cluster as well?

I swapped out my non nav as well, using the longhorn theme currently.

Nice. Thanks for the response, was a bit disappointed when I finally realized the background was so plain lol.

Right. I think there are maybe 6 to chooses from, give or take.

You’ll have to rep in the connector at the screen. The plug at the bottom has the can bus and the hazard sense in it. You’ll have to rep in from that connector to the one that plugs into the screen .

I can post the connectors so you can decipher what needs to be moved. I could tell you but I get nervous telling someone something

I just finish my installation and want to thank everyone on here ! It was a piece of cake with all of the info, except I don’t have AC, I wonder if this wiring diagram is the same for 2021- 3500 with a 8.4non nav

 

[jeffrey5679]

Anyone selling a 12 screen nav module?

 

[Evank33]

So I tried to activate the xm guardian. They said that I needed a telematics module in my truck for this feature to work. Thought it was built into the radio module?

If the truck didn’t have it from the factory, you can’t get it.
