    2015 RAM Aftermarket Radio?

    I never did get my in-console USB port to work, so I'm considering upgrading the radio.

    My question is, does ANYONE make an aftermarket unit that supports all my OEM functions?

    Crutchfield tells me there's no connector made to use the oem bluetooth microphone.

    If that's the case, I'd be in the market for a cheap oem premium sound radio if anyone has one for sale.

    Thanks for any input.

    When I replaced the radio in my 12, the adapter harness connected to everything, EXCEPT the factory mic in the rearview mirror.

    I recently replaced the radio in the wife's 17 4Runner and the same thing.

    I just don't understand why OEMs make wiring a mic so complicated.

    I just wonder if it's a basic 2 wire mic?

    If so, I wouldn't be afraid to cut & splice the wires to try it.

    Does all of your steering wheel controls work with the new head unit?

    The voice commands, etc?

    I'm trying to remember the mic situation but it wasn't a simple as splice 2 wires as I would have done that too.

    I used an iDatalink Maestro interface and was able to keep steering wheel controls and uConnect, but I eventually disabled uConnect and used Android Auto.

    The Maestro kit was expensive at the time but also the only kit available that retained all factory functions in a single kit.

    There are probably a dozen other companies making kits for our trucks now.
