After requiring a 2nd replacement 8.4N radio in 3 years, I am looking for another replacement.

What is everyone's favorite aftermarket replacement? Which ones integrate best with the RAM computer? Are there any that have UConnect? UConnect is not a necessity. However the backup camera is. Will these aftermarkets get better Sirius reception or will the stock antenna need to be replaced?

 

I love my pioneer avic 7100. Has nav and sat radio. No need for a separate nav antenna. Just an adapter. I used the maestro data link harness to intergrate and keep the steering wheel controls and such. Says it can also keep the u connect but I couldn't get it to play nice. I just used the pioneer mic. Also has back up camera inputs as well as other aux camera inputs. Lots of bells and whistles.

 

Did you have to splice any wiring or was it all fairly easy to connect?

 

I did have to splice a few wires into the pigtail but it was very minimal. On my 09 I did have to cut a bracket inside the cubby where the radio goes. Not sure if you will have to do the same. www.Crutchfield.com is a great online resource and they have great customer service.
