Is your Ram Uconnect screen peeling?
2013–2018 Ram 1500/2500/3500 share the bubbling 8.4 Uconnect. Manual vs auto AC changes the dash kit. These Android units add CarPlay and keep steering-wheel controls.

The failure: Same 8.4 Uconnect delamination as Grand Cherokee — bubbles, ghost touch, random climate changes.
Fit: Confirm manual vs automatic climate control. Some 9-inch kits are manual-AC only.

Is your Ram Uconnect screen peeling?
Same 8.4 Uconnect delamination as Grand Cherokee — bubbles, ghost touch, random climate changes. Replace the radio with a 2013–2018 dash kit.
Do these keep the factory backup camera?
Check the spec list on each kit. After install, if reverse is blank, set the unit to CVBS/NTSC instead of AHD.
