Updating your Dodge Chrysler vehicle is super easy with this Uconnect 8.4C Swap Upgrade. My 2016 Hellcat had the older Uconnect RA3 unit and this was a plug and play upgrade to a more modern 8.4 Uconnect unit.

Nice job speedy...like how thorough you are with tips/tricks and avoiding problems that would damage stuff along the way.
Thanks! 👍
Great upgrade I have a M6 car will have to do a search if it will all work correctly as an A8 thanks for the info
Thanks. My next project for my 2016 HC
Awesome, thank you!
part numbers for it all?
great video will this also work for charger hellcats 2016?
Just start the car and hit display..the car will recognize the car..its real simple..it takes just a few mins..I have a 2016 hellcat and I installed a 2018 radio years ago..drive it, turn the car off and then restart it..everything will reprogram to SRT in time..
I noticed that when he’s in the SRT pages, it doesn’t show that 707 next to the power. does this come back ever? because that’s real big for me
When u upgraded your uconnect did u have to replace that USB/SD card thing in the middle console also? Or did yo just use your original one?
Did it unlock line lock by upgrading the unit?
where did you get your Uconnect 8.4C Swap Upgrade kit?
Dealer
I'm at the Safford Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram of Warrenton, VA and they first told me the wiring was different. I showed them Your video and the response changed to.. "I can sell you the part but it's yours and you can't return it.". Response after asking more questions... It's a special order item.
How did you register your UConnect ? Did you activate it with FCW?
Dealer wants $1785 for the part.
Does the heated seats still function?
You know by any chance if this will work for 2014 Jeep srt or have the link to the forums by any chance
Would you or anyway know if this would work the same for a 2016 wk2 srt ??? Im assuming it should be the same process for any srt vehicle 🤷🏻♂️ appreciate if anyone shares their experience or advice!
Did you ever try this in the 392?
Nice upgrade to GoMango!🦾🔧🏁🇺🇸
Anyone know if it’ll work for my challenger 2016 rt 6speed? My head unit is sluggish and I’d love to have carplay
Did you try it by any chance?
Hi, may you post parts numbers? and does support android auto?
thank ypu bro
Part numbers please..
Right? "I'll put them in the description" goes to description, 0 part numbers.
@@theweekendwarrior6355bro I been looking for one too
I have a 2016 M6, you mentioned it may not work or additional programming may need to be done, is that right? Do you have any additional information about that? Thanks for the video, been wanting this for a long time, I hope it works out.
When I look up the part number on molar store it only shows me it's compatible with 18-19. Is this the one you ordered ?
What's parts number again didn't see in description and do you think will work for 2016 Challenger scat?
No one says what year radio they bought.
Ok, you bought the uconnect 8.4 brand new. So you typically see a year radio for compatibility.
Did you put in 2022 Hellcat?? Or 2019 RT, or what? I would assume you didn't look for 2016.
Thanks
@@scoobyrogers if u want apple carplay the radio is 2017+
Were you able to activate apple carplay ? I have a 16 SRT 392 I replaced my uconnect from a 2017 to see if I can get that feature and still no luck
I ordered a HC RE NB for $85,700 OTD they are expensive.
I'd say you got a deal based on what I'm seeing!
Here in ny . The Hell Cat with the dealer mark up $120,000 . I have a 2016 RT plus and was looking to trade it in for the HC . Was you guys are nuts . It would be cheaper to drop a Hell Cat in my 2016
OMG!
Suddenly us non HellCat guys aren’t so crazy going forced induction/forging our 392’s at these new prices
I want to do this swap in my 2016 Challenger SRT392 but I need to know if by using OEM parts I will be able to retain the Uconnect functions in the app. I like the remote start and locking features in the app.

Any update on this?
I've got a 2015 Charger SXT Plus. I've seen the part where you say that it might not work with 2015 Challenger unless changing some parts :/ . Awesome video by the way I learned really really alot of stuff! I want to get Apple Car play in my car as it feels easier than navigation and not as outdated. But seems I can't 😔
I don’t see the parts list . Can you help ? I have a 16 manual
Thanks for making the install videos! I’ve always referred to your videos for any installs or part reviews. This looks like a worth while upgrade for my ‘16 Cat. BTW, I did think to myself “didn’t he forget to plug one back in?” 😬…. Thanks again boss!
see my issue is i need to know if this works for a 2015 r/t because im looking to do the same thing, but dont wanna spend all the money just to have all my features disabled , heated cooled seats heated steering wheel etc
Yup, really works regardless of trim level since the configuration of the Uconnect System is stored in the Body Control Module. So as the radio updates for the first time, only the features that came with the vehicle will be installed. So you wouldn't get say, Preformance Pages, unless you already had them originally installed.
If you are looking to "add" features that didn't originally come with the vehicle, you can buy a device called the "TAZER" which will allow you to add features such as Preformance Pages and Line Lock, plus literally dozens more, without voiding your warranty and is completely reversible. They sell for $250 and I have never had a problem with either one that I have purchased
Now, I noticed that your screen did not delaminate. I have a 2018 and the screen of mine delaminated, I'm sure you have heard of this. Just so you know, I got a brand new radio out of warranty with a " good faith replacement" through Dodge. I spent a bit of time emailing them and getting my ducks in a row, but I got a new radio for free. Just an fyi. Also, if you would have just waited, all of that would have come back eventually. I think it has something to do with number of key cycles and key being away from the car.
Yep, aware of that. "Supposedly" new screens do not have that problem. Fingers crossed.
A little late to the party. I just acquired a 2006 Magnum SRT8 and stumbled on to your channel because the radio from the interior was gutted by the previous owner and and I'm trying to get it back to stock. Although it's way older then your Challenger an a different beast, you post a lot of good information that I can use. Mostly that up until a total model change not many changes from year to year with interiors and wiring. good stuff to know. Your garage and set-up are awesome! I only wish I could have my garage as organized as yours! LOL!
Hello will this unit work for a 2017 ram 1500 and if so where can i get one.
Awesome video, love the details and the steps. You got a like and a follow from me.
I have the exact same 2016 hellcat
With the same options
Mine is plum crazy with the Matt black hood
I really appreciate your videos they help me out tremendously
I have been interested in upgrading my radio also
But whenever I tried to research it I kind of ran into a block wall and was told it cannot be done
Thanks again speedy this is awesome
From what I've researched, you cannot go aftermarket with the Chargers & Challengers. I'm still trying to figure out how to wire in a 6 channel amp...
I just completed this upgrade and also broke one of the plastic clips away from the bezel. Thanks for the JB Kwik tip, which worked great to repair the clip. The new unit is great for my 2017!
Does CarPlay work?
Where you get the screen at?
My 17 Scat Pack had car play but the 17 SRT Grand Cherokee that I just traded for doesn’t.
Enjoyed your video, great breakdown with explanation. Just one major question, does apple car play work now with your 16 hellcat uconnect upgrade??
Great video. I have a 2017 and I have the piddly 4.3" Uconnect. Thanks.
My I/C Coolant temp is doing the exact same thing. No idea why. I was told to do a few key cycles (power on and off, in a sense), but it didnt change over the course of 3 weeks.
Very good video. Very interesting and informative.
Thanks for the video demonstration! Nice to know that swap will work. Car of that caliber is worth spending the money.
I’d be more excited, but 17 Charger RT never had the performance pages turned on, so it would be a wasted upgrade.
Nice video. I think I ought to upgrade my 2015 rt scatpack to a 2022 8.4 uconnect radio
U get track mode ?
So this also gives me car play? I want to do it on my scat
THANK YOU!! I have spent a lot of time searching for this exact information.
Awesome video. Do you know if the cellular connection is working? My '16 uses 3G and since that's been decommissioned, it no longer works. Does the new head unit give you 4G cellular connectivity to run the apps and remote start etc....?
Working
@@SpeedysGarage did you or the dealer have to do anything to set up the device to your vehicle to get it to work?
Does your back up camera work ? Or sport button?
Hey Speedy ..love the very informative video .I myself have a 2016 Scat pack Shaker and i've been looking to upgrade my radio for a LOOOONG time but was too afraid to attempt it fearing it wasn't compatible and would screw every thing up ..very expensive mistake to make lol....but you inspired me to pull the trigger and do it ... just one thing i didn't see you test the USB ports.. i mostly play my music on USB flash drive sticks with MP3s that i down load off my computer ..that would be a deal breaker for me if they didn't respond ...AND ..my current radio doesn't load any of my music past what my 32GB sticks hold is there a limit ?? i've got thousands more MP3s loaded on my 64GB and 128GB usb sticks ...IF you or ANYBODY out there knows if the newer radio will load this capacity of MP3s the info will be greatly appreciated ..i'm sure i'm not the only one out there with this question/dilemma .hopefully some one will test it and find out and answer back ..SPEEDY thanks again for the video and keep em coming ..you just got yourself a new SUBSCRIBER
Did you do this install with these same part numbers? I have a 2016 Shaker and I’m terrified of screwing something up by swapping the he’s units. Did it work for you???
Were you able to get the hp to display on the red key page? I added a 23 headunit to my 17 and it had been great but now it just says red instead of hp. Some online say hptuners only lets you change it for 18+but I’m not sure if matters since it’s a 23 headlight.
No it just said "red key" if memory serves.
Hello, is everything activated automatically? I have a 2015 challenger scatpack I did the same and I have not been able to activate the a / c in seats and sport mode, please help.
From what I understand, you have to also update to a 16 BCM if your upgrading from a 2015.
Hi, that module you first installed is that only necessary to use a apple phone ? thanks Jimmy
Does the launc control work in the end ?
Just bought a 16 hellcat no apple car play is my only option switching whole unit?
Unfortunately.
Awesome vid.. I have a 2017 Hellcat Challenger and my screen has recently started to delaminate at a fast pace, I was just going to purchase a new screen and swap it but after seeing this I’d rather go the same route, is it really just plug N play? I’m tuned with Diablo if it makes any difference since you said you have aftermarket PCM as well.
I have a 2016 hellcat Challenger, how much it cost if you can say
$16-$1700
@@johnpuli7502 thanks bro
how much did it cost ?
Hey Speedy, my real world Challenger level is still in Orange Krush territory, but I always appreciate the information you share with us and the time taken to do it. 👍
Did this upgrade a few years back. Best upgrade yet. 👌🏽
Do you still have your Uconnect features? Like in the app being able to remote start and lock your doors via the app?
Did you have to pay to subscribe to UConnect or transfer your service? I don't have any service I'm in a 2015 JGC SRT.
Hy Hello, where can I order the u connect den? Best regards
Very well done and informative ! ( Thank you )
Will this work for my charger hellcat or just a hellcat challenger ?
Do you like the new gauges? I kinda miss my old style round gauges in my gomango 2016
I like them for something "different" but it was really 6 of one half dozen of the other. The main improvement for me is the much faster response of the new unit and improved graphics.
@@SpeedysGarage it is faster and I do like you can use the chiller feature without being in track mode.
Thank you speedy.
Again great content as always!
I've got a 2019 1320, so I won't be doing this, but it's nice to see how all of this goes together.
Great video sir and thank you very much for sharing it now i can do thr same with mine
Did he go back and plug I'm that last Grey plug in the back? He missed one. He only plugged in 4 out the five
He did when the Android Auto wouldn't work lol
Would it work for a 2015 dodge charger rt sir ?
Oh this is happening… 2016 ScatPack is going to get a touchyscreen glowup. Thank you for this walkthrough.
Did this work for you?!?! Thinking of trying with my 16 Scat but afraid to screw it up
I have a 2016 challenger scat pack I wonder if this will work or if radio is different part number. I just want Apple CarPlay
Do you possible still have the link where where you bought the 8.4 unconnect?
Got it from the dealer.
Thanks for a great video.
I noticed you said the 2015 Manual May crest some problems and require more components.
To be specific mine is a 2015 Challenger RT PLUS. SXT PLUS.
The build sheet says SXT but my car is a manual shift manufactured in April of 2015.
That being said I thought the April + models had the same components as the 2016 on?
I think I’ll check the body control module part numbers in both years.
Do you know the UConnect Guru on these things or are you he?
I just want to make sure before I buy anything that I have the right thing.
Also:
I spoke to UCONNECT about a week ago before seeing your article.
They said that they no longer offer support on the present UConnect since it is 3G and that the Performance Ap may disappear on most models! Don’t that suck?
I was just wondering if the new radio now gives you UConnect 4G capabilities and have yiu hear any word of any or a future Performance Ap loss in the newer radios?
If no 4G and a possible future loss of Performance seems like a waste of money unfortunately.
Thank you again for the info and would you or someone else please shed some light on my questions or lead me in the right direction.
Old School
Hey so I have 2015 rt am I able to do this ??
Mine was built November of 2014
I know it works on your 16. I have a 17. Will that part number work for me? Love what you're doing. Thanks.
I believe it'll work.
I got a Jeep Cherokee can I do this?
Hey man I have an off subject question for you. Been watching you for a while, how do you keep your Throttle body and other rough aluminum under hood parts looking clean and with out or remove the oxidation? My HC is a 15 and want to keep them looking new too. Little help if you don’t mind.
It's not very salty around here so I've not had any issues. If I did I'd use an aluminum polish on them once a month or so to keep it at bay.
Man, I need help. I have a 2015 RT challenger and I swapped radios with my buddy he had a 2018 hellcat challenger. Everything works but my heated and cooled seats, back up camera, and my sport mode button and I’ve driven at least 100 miles on it and left it plugged in the car for at least two weeks, I cannot figure out why this isn’t working. I am starting to get freaked out since I don’t have my factory Rado anymore even my local dealership they don’t know what’s going on any help would be greatly appreciated.
Probably needs the BCM flashed at the dealer. 2015s were finicky.
@@SpeedysGarage Correct, swapping to a 16 BCM will solve that or having it flashed.
can it be a 2020 bcm ? @@joeferraino2845
Hey In a 2016 srt 392 I still have a stock radio that’s outdated with 3g. Am I able to upgrade that and keep the srt pages and track mode options on the screen?
I have an 18 charger hellcat & my GPS went bad....replaced the radio & my ic temp doesn't work on the srt pages either....maybe you can figure out how to get it back....love all your vids....
I've learned there's a TSB on this issue but Dodge hasn't resolved it yet: TSB s2108000219
My GPS went bad on my 17 Challenger. It required a new head unit. Luckily it was a warranty so no charge
Will just swapping the media hub give me CarPlay?
No, you need to upgrade the radio as well.
Hi Speedy! Where could I get the units? Multimedia unit and usb hub?
I list two places in the video.
Thank you. Answered my questions.
Great tutorial! Did this with my 2016 scat pack; my features popped up pretty quickly though (almost instantly/a couple minutes).
Do all tye features work? Including heated and cooled seats
I have a 2016 scat. Are they the same part numbers as this video.
can you send me the link of where you got the radio I'm trying to make sure I get the right one
Did you use identical part numbers? And everything works?!??!
Does Apple CarPlay work?
Thank you for your video! I have a question. Do you know if Ipod connection using USB is still compatible with this model?
H-K sound was standard thru 2018.
To switch the gauges, press and drag them.
will that work on a 2016 rt challenger?
Great video and I too will upgrade my unit…stocker is delaminating badly.
I’m here wit a 2015 and no driving modes ? How would that work, or do I need to buy a newer model bcm? Thanks for the help
Hey did the carplay work?
That’s what I was also wondering. Looking at a 16 hellcat but I’m CarPlay die hard and really wouldn’t wanna NOT have it
There is another difference that separates the hellcats built in 15-16 the intake is smaller and not a cone rather just using the head light and box vs 17 and up srt had the genius idea of switching to map sensors which allowed them to fit a fat intake that is sealed off from the engine bay except integrated the hood as a ram along with the light which is where the 10 hp comes from and by far superior in design. I have a 16 and that was one of the things I’m stuck with. Good video man, thanks for the knowledge. 👍
Yep I'm STUCK with my 10hp less intake too. LOL! Too funny. I feel like I'm at such a disadvantage with my legmaker on my 2016 making 17lbs boost. Maybe I should trade up.😵💫 I don't have the widebody either. So I'm missing out on the extra weight that option provides too. Maybe I should ditch my Forgeline GA3's for some heavy stock widebody wheels and stick on some plastic flares. I feel like I'm missing out
2017 did not see a 10 hp increase. It wasnt until the new hoods came out.
@@johnpuli7502 yeah no I was incorrect meant to say 19 when they started coming out with 717hp. The hood looks the same just the snorkeling is different on the underside pairs with the new intake design utilizing the hood and the light hole as a ram air.
@@mikew6135 can’t tell if your being serious or sarcastic? Either way I have the same thing going on with my hellcat no wide body no newer style intake and a maf. You have got a point the rims do weigh more and so does the flair. Also lose a bit of aerodynamics pushing air. Yeah can’t see doing a switch for that now maybe a redeye only for the bigger blower but that’s nothing after market can’t solve and better. Of course redeye have stronger components as well such as drive shaft, half shafts and axles, even the block has better cooling but the regular 717 hellcat is not really better or worth the exchange to make that happen in my opinion.
Awsome video bro to bad we couldn’t get the electric steering option the new hellcats come with it. I had a SRT 392 that had it I like it.
I've wondered if electric PS is a possible swap, but I doubt it since the computer controls steering feedback based on drive mode.
Im late but where did you get that 8.4 Uconnect screen? Can you send me the link.
I had car play on my 7 inch now it’s not showing on my 8.4 but it will play music through USB
How much did this unit cost you ?
Yes finally! Thanks Speedy! I've got a call to make so I can get my 16' HC sorted out now 😁
Can you keep the screen blue?
GREAT VIDEO REALLY NEEDED THIS INFO‼️
Only question is do the heated steering wheel and seats actually turn on when u press it
Would this work for a 2017 Scatpack would it change the pages?
Do I have to buy a radio that has the back bracket already on it or no, I have a 8.1 tryna upgrade to a 8.4
Nice little upgrade. I had my 20 Redeye for 2 whole months before I figured out how to load up different gauges on one page.
When on the Performance Pages, select Home button and you can edit 4 gauges to display on Home.
Touch the upper left of each gauge to select what you want for each one. There is a small rectangle with a line through it on each corner maybe a edit logo??
Thanks for the tip!
@@SpeedysGarage Forgot to ad once the gauge is displayed the icon is gone but you can just touch the faucet to change it.
I’m sure you already figured it out but just in case
Hey I did this on my hellcat aswell but without changing the media hub.. but my srt mode won’t let me engage into track or sport, should I redo the process please help
@@srtnuski_progress ?
Excellent video nice upgrade , does the sound system improves its quality? do you know if in the drive mode page the displayed car can be changed from N/A to supercharged?
I didn't notice a sound quality difference, but I did notice "HD" shows up by channels. Can't remember if the old one did that or not. Drive mode on this one is a supercharged car on mine.
@@SpeedysGarage I have electric steering , I think that's the reason I don't get the supercharged car in srt drive mode
Is there a way to completely bypass and get rid of this uconnect system? I hate it.
Can this be done to a non hellcat? I got a 2015 Charger SRT.
Maybe I missed it but can you still use the Connect app to start, stop, lock features and tracking after the swap?
If I get a 8.4 unconnect out of a hellcat can I put in in my 2019 challenger rt
