Since i’ts been confirmed that 2022 Ram 1500 will support Uconnect 5, do you think that 2019 Ram 1500 owners will be able to update their system to Uconnect 5. If not, do you think we will be able to replace our current infotainment aiment system with the new Uconnect 5 version?

Info: I currently own a 2019 Ram 1500 Limited.

Además, cuando obtiene la pantalla con el botón de asistencia de carril y asistencia de estacionamiento, que en realidad es más barato que
el que no tiene, puedes agregar los 4 sensores que faltan y tienes la asistencia de estacionamiento funcionando.

Also, when you get the screen with the lane assist and park assist button, which is actually cheaper then
the one without them, you can add the 4 missing sensors and you have park assist working.

So I captured a lot of steps so many have been guided with in these threads. My concern now is I really don't have a schematic in view of how the system wires together.
I visualized (perhaps wrong) that the display (new 2022 center stack) has connections to the UC5 radio and the radio will need adapter cables to the rest of the system. Will I need to purchase those given different connectors to new components? Also what connections go from the radio to my 2020 RAM 1500 (Harness probably)? Do I need any Jimmy07 cable for this new sequence of adding a new screen/UC5 radio module? Hope I am not repeating what others somewhere have asked but it seems newish to me based on threads I have read.

FYI, I did get the 2020 radio and 2020 screen working completely in my 2020 ram 1500. I originally ordered a 2022 screen not knowing it was different from 2019-2021 and I had it working with the 2020 radio module with the exception of touch. Found out the LVDS cable is different for 2022 components.

Following. Looking to do the upgrade myself. Looks like the wire harness changed between 19-21 and 2022.

I want to make sure I understand your post. Do you have Uconnect 5 with a 2020 screen?

No I ordered the 2022 screen and the UC5 radio but radio is on backorder so purchased the 2020 radio thinking it would just work with the 2022 screen and I can
use the system while waiting on the UC5 radio and information on how to install. The 2022 screen does not work for UC4 radios/at least not for me.
Actually it worked but no touch so can not use the screen but it properly displays. So I bought the 2020 screen and plugged into my 2020 radio and works as expected.
Am still hoping to get the UC5 radio and get it all working as information becomes available on what changes are required to adapt to the UC5/2022 screen.

you are correct, apparently UC5 radio uses a different LVDS cable. i'd ask @Jimmy07 if you want specifics. He's got a working concept.

@Jimmy07 any info you can share on specifics? Harness pin re-mappings, connectors used, lvds cable needed, other requirements?
Thanks!

Shopping list would be great! I have a 2021 Limited and want to get UC5 working. I have a friend at the service dept at my Dodge dealership that can get me the parts at cost.

Thanks much easier to read . Wish I could tell what the difference in the display is. It seems to be identical. The only change is the pin out on the module, and using different fakra plugs

Button mapping is different. UC4 screen is unresponsive with UC5 radio module.
LVDS cable is also different, and so is the USB cable.

Late to the party, anybody successfully swap out the 4 to Uconnect 5? Any YouTube videos yet?

then there is no point in changing to Uconnect 5 if it will not work and will be very limited
