I just did this to my 2014 Ram. IT WORKED. I thank you for this video. However to let others know, the OEM screws are smaller than the screw holes on the new board. I just used some Crazy Glue to keep it together.
Taking the console aprt is a pain in the but i know that much. But once in stalled worth wild. The adapter i just plugged right in the radio and got rid of the extention
It works! Thank you so much for this video. I followed all of the directions step by step and resolved the issue that the car audio tech couldn't when he installed my after market stereo. I wasn't satisfied with the way he left the USB cable sort of dangling from the dashboard...
Great video. I was having trouble with my 2016 Ram 2500 figuring out how to get to the circuit board since the instructions included with the kit talk about a totally different console where you simply remove seven screws to get access. Once i viewed your video, I was able to easily accomplish the task. You only missed on small part where the instructions with the kit talk about transferring the plastic that surrounds the USB port. When you do that, it fills the gap for a more factory look. Thanks again.
Great video. I just got my uRam today but waiting for my headunit to arrive. I am confident, after watching your video, I can install it with no problems.
Thank you for posting this content. It answered a lot of questions. I have a 14 ram with a faulty usb console plug. When I go over a bump or the plug even gets barely touched, it cuts off my mp3 player. It has irritated me so much in the last couple years. I will definitely find one of these boards and do a replacement, and maybe even the stereo upgrade. Mine came with just the generic stereo unit which is very limited in features. Has the stereo in the video worked well for you and produced better sound over the original stereo?
do you know if this will work on the full floor console (not the jump seat)? I used your video to install this on my jumpseat, but am about to swap for a full console... hopefully this works??
I am using a S100 factory fit aftermarket stereo. It is simply plug and play. It is available on eBay, Amazon,and other types of similar sites. If you Google it then you should be able to find it.
Your aftermarket stereo should have auxiliary inputs. Also there should be auxiliary inputs as part of the wiring harness that came with the stereo. Don't forget that these trucks need a specific harness due to the use of a Canbus system. As for the auxiliary input in the upgraded USB it is simply plug and play.
Ya, this thing sucks unless you have a compatable head unit for the new circuit board, otherwise its only good for charging. Waste of money. Better to run a usb extension to glove box or slide out trey under heat controls.
@@mattjo0078 that's why this video describes installing this with an aftermarket radio. Without an aftermarket radio it is just as well to leave the factory one there. If all you are looking for is charging ability then just use one that plugs in to a 12v.

Awesome dude! I've been looking for a step by step video to go by, thx very helpful
great video, install was very unclear until now.
incredible! Step by step perfect! Thank you for the vid!
Where did you get the face plate for the radio? Excellent video
Have updated link to buy .. link in description doesn’t work
Nice video. I've got one question for you. Does the factory satellite radio plug, plug into the radio that you bought?

For sure it did.
@@faultenergyservices5460 Thank you. I will be looking into getting one of these.
Great video, can you please mention or provide a link about the radio that you first showed?
You could try radio-upgrade.com or just do a search for aftermarket radios for the year of your Ram.
That was awesome, thank u for the info
Does the aux work?
Great video
great in depth video thanks
of course the site has it in stock, have in cart but every time I click check out, nothing happens
what if i out a 2015 center console in my 2006 and trying to use the usb/aux will this work with it?
That's great. I also found in that website an idatalink maestro kit to use factory xm antenna. Will this work in the same Ram 1500 truck?
Not sure but I will get some info and get back to you.
I researched and it should work with your factory XM satellite antenna.
Thanks a lot.
Thanks ! 👊🏽
Will this still work with the steering wheel controls, or do I need an additional module?
You will need to install an aftermarket steering wheel control module.
thanks for the vid. does that replacement stereo have RCA connections on the back? or sub control?
nevermind I looked down further and found my answer. thanks!
that was a great big help thank you. what about your 110v plug in on the dash any problems with that not working now? mine isnt working now 2013 2500
No. It shouldn't have anything to do with that.
Does that head unit have Bluetooth with a built in microphone or an external microphone
Built in Microphone.
Where did you get radio and will it fit a 2014 Ram? Mine has no CD player and I listen to a lot of books on CD while driving?
Just do a search on eBay and you will find one.
Does the factory USB jack on the lower dash still work ?
Yes. They are not connected by the same cable. The dash one is for charging only.
Do they make something for a 2010 Ram?
I do believe so.
time to buy a new Ram
Does the s100 have a line out on the back to hook up an aftermarket amplifier and subwoofer?
Yes it does.
do you know if this will work on the full floor console (not the jump seat)? I used your video to install this on my jumpseat, but am about to swap for a full console... hopefully this works??
It replaces the factory board. If yours has the usb and aux connections shown in the video it should work.
Who makes the S100 radio?
Different manufactures make this or similar radios. If you check on eBay you should be able to find one.
Love the pants!
Does your aux port work as well?
Yes. This works with the aux port as well.
what stereo system is are you using?
I am using a S100 factory fit aftermarket stereo. It is simply plug and play. It is available on eBay, Amazon,and other types of similar sites. If you Google it then you should be able to find it.
hi does your factory back up cam work with the s100 stereo
I am using an aftermarket backup camera so I'm not sure. I will research and let you know.
Apparently you need to splice into your existing harness. There are videos online for how to connect to a factory camera.
how does the aux headphone jack connect to after market unit?
Your aftermarket stereo should have auxiliary inputs. Also there should be auxiliary inputs as part of the wiring harness that came with the stereo. Don't forget that these trucks need a specific harness due to the use of a Canbus system.
As for the auxiliary input in the upgraded USB it is simply plug and play.
$60 Fing dollars for a usb converter. F THAT
Have you had any problems, with the u ram not reading an ipod?
No I haven't

@@Tazz6896 what part doesnt work? Did you install this with an aftermarket radio or factory unit? It will not work with a factory unit.
