2018 Ram Radio Delaminating.

[Cliffman]

I Need to replace the radio in my 2018 one ton dually. I guess the screen has delaminated and goes crazy. Looking for best price source. TIA.

Are you sure there isn't a screen protector on it that degrades?
I've never in my life heard about a touchscreen that "delaminated".

Here is an option if OEM. https://infotainment.com/product-category/services/repair-service/?attrpdtcarymm=2018-dodge-ram-3500
I used them a couple years ago for a screen replacement for my oldest son's Jeep Wrangler when the grandson did some aggressive "button pushing" on an outing with friends. Fairly quick turnaround, still may be a little costly for a full-featured unit...IF you want to stick with the OEM functions.

Look for YouTube videos lon how to repair it. One of my students repaired his Charger and it looks great and works as new.

I have a 2018 2500. Mine did the same thing after a couple of years. You can literally see how the glass is separating from each strata. Like plywood when it gets wet. Mine did it in all 4 corners and across the whole top.

The OEM head unit for music blows and puts out like 15 watts/channel. I couldn't see replacing it with the same radio for all that money to get the same performance. I ended up with an Alpine receiver and amp at 50 watts/channel. I used the canbus adapter to maintain all my vehicle functions plus steering wheel and OEM HVAC controls. That whole setup was about $1500 and looks stock. I did all the install myself.

Look on YouTube for " How to fix delaminating Dodge Chrysler Ram 8.4 Uconnect touchscreen". You can save $1,500.

Check over on the EcoDiesel forums and the other RAM forums, folks complaining about it.

i believe what happens is the sun bakes the screen. so a $2 walmart towel over the radio keeps it like new. thats what ive done to keep my '17 screen in good shape. many many times ive told people this but none of them are smart enough to listen

Ideally, you shouldn't need to do this with a modern vehicle.

Reminds me of the sun baked dash scenarios.
