Hello, I just purchased a non nav 8.4 2019 uav, I currently have a tradesman 5" radio, I've looked but there is so much conflicting info online, can someone tell me what I need to do to upgrade my factory radio? Do I need a security bypass for this? Is it really just plug and play? The donor uav is from a Laramie so it has dual climate, heated and cooled seats plus heard steering wheel, I know these won't work in my tradesman but just want to know the compatibility and if it's easy enough to just install? Do I need alfaodb?
Thanks

UAV isn't plug and play like a UAQ would be. You need to make changes to the BCM to enable some sales codes for the UAV to turn on after its initial start up. So yes you will need bypass, yes you need alfaobd to make programming changes, You are correct that you will not gain the features your vehicle didn't have like heated steering wheel and dual zone. You'll need the UAV module, UAV screen, UAV inner bezel, Outer bezel/panel with the vents, LVDS cable, Wiring to power and provide can to screen, bypass for programming, and alfaobd for programming.
