DODGE RAM 12 INCH SCREEN WITH U Connect 5
The Uconnect 5 system, introduced in the 2022 Ram lineup, represents a significant leap forward in automotive infotainment technology. This latest iteration builds on its predecessors’ strengths while introducing new features and improvements that enhance the driving experience. But it’s important to note that since this is an upgrade, there will be features from your old system that won’t be compatible with Uconnect 5.
Please read important info below.
Important Info:
2019 – 2021 Ram Trucks looking to upgrade to the U5 System from the U4 System Should Be Aware of the following features lost when doing this upgrade:
SOS and Guardian Services will No Longer Work. So if you currently subscribe to the SOS or any features through Guardian Services such as Remote Start From Your Smartphone; these will be lost.
If you currently have and use a CD player that was supplied from the factory, it will No Longer Function, as RAM deleted the CD players in 2022.
Wifi Is Lost, so if you currently subscribe to a Wifi Plan through U-Connect, it will be lost.
Any 2019-2021 Ram Trucks with the Existing 12″ U4 Infotainment System will still require a New 12″ Touchscreen and Radio Module, along with the Required Harness Kit. The Existing Dash Bezel is all that can be Re-Used when doing this upgrade. You will have the old screen and radio that can be resold to help recoup some of the upgrade investment.
Enhanced Performance and Responsiveness
Improved User Interface
The user interface of Uconnect 5 has been redesigned to be more intuitive and customizable. The interface can adapt to fit various user preferences, offering an experience tailored to individual needs. This makes it easier for drivers to access and control various functions without distraction.
Advanced Connectivity Features
Uconnect 5 supports multiple device connections simultaneously, allowing for seamless integration of smartphones and other devices. This is particularly beneficial for families and businesses, as passengers can connect and use their devices independently.
Enhanced Navigation and Voice Recognition
The system features upgraded navigation capabilities, including real-time traffic updates and enhanced route planning. Additionally, the voice recognition system has been improved, offering more accurate and natural interactions. This allows drivers to keep their hands on the wheel and eyes on the road while controlling various functions.

This upgrade does NOT upgrade you to Dual Zone Automatic Air Control. This is very important to understand if you are upgrading a Ram that is currently equipped with Manual HVAC.
The upgraded screen only comes as a DUAL Zone Auto Climate control, so if you are upgrading from Manual Climate Control, you will need to consider the Cabin Air Sensor Kit as an upgrade to add to the system. This added harness kit will give you Single Zone Auto Climate Control, and will allow you to control the air much easier. Upgrading to actual Dual Zone Auto Climate requires replacing a lot more components in the dash and is not something we support at MVI.
Adding the Cabin Air Sensor Circuit will require 4 Hardwire connections. You can see a bit more detailed overview of the install of the harness here: Cabin Sensor Kit Install Overview
