![]() There are some communication and cultural differences with them and they can come off harsh, but so far everybody that has dealt with them has had an awesome experience. I ordered the silver package and received everything within two days of payment. It was shipped from Sweden to Florida in that time. Let me start by saying that the RAX software can disable some safety features and allow you to do things on the Uconnect screen while the vehicle is in motion, like input a navigation address. ![]() They also have a hardware add-on called Jailbreaker Connect, but I am not currently testing that. After installation, I had correspondence with Magnus from Customtronix about how the software works and some things that I had found and we worked through some suggestions for future functionality and a couple of other things. I'll post some results here for anyone who's interested. He was also very helpful in finding my way around the system (It's QNX with LUA scripts and Flash btw). The installation of the software is clever. You load up the software that they provide onto a USB stick and insert it into the car as though you were upgrading the radio software normally. It performs the upgrade with the stock swdl.iso firmware. At the end of that upgrade process, the upgrade script looks for a companion firmware file that happens to be there called swdl-fo.iso. There is a check in the installation script for tokens that are generated based on your VIN authorizing you to install the new features, which are Nav lock-out disable (worth its weight in gold!), Cargo cam, front cam and front cam under 11 MPH. This can be installed without the harness in the silver package. Removal (should you need to take it to the dealership for example) is even easier as it identifies the tokens that are installed when you plug in the stick and asks you if you would like to install/remove each feature. The bezel around the radio is held on with 12 clips and once you get the nerve to pull, comes right off. Then there are 4 bolts holding the radio in place and it comes right out. In the attached picture, the red side goes into the radio and the existing harness goes into the black side. The lever on the red side pulls up and the harness pulls right out of the radio. Put this one in place and push it into the radio, then push the lever down to lock it in place. The entire process is about 10 minutes once you get the nerve to pull the trim piece. Download the customtronix software Tried to order the jailbreak for my 2016 R/T, but my RAX Jailbreak for Uconnect 8. I assume that the Challenger radio is held in the same way, but I'm sure that there is plenty out there documenting how to remove the radio from the Challenger dash, so don't take my word for it. Once the harness is in place, you'll need an HDMI-Composite adapter (I picked the one with the best reviews on amazon for like 20 bucks). Plug the adapter into the Cargo Cam input, then the HDMI from your Apple TV into the adapter. I'm using the AC power outlet behind the center console in the Jeep to power the Apple TV and have the Apple TV loose under the driver's seat. This gives me access to it which allows me to use the remote, but it would be cleaner to hide it in the dash and grab power from somewhere else. ![]() The attached picture is what I received with the RAX Silver package. It included the wiring harness and a camera. The software was delivered on a file sharing site for download.
