The Prolific Audio XAVRAMCH1KIT is a vehicle-specific, full plug-and-play radio integration solution for 2009–2012 Ram 1500 and 2010–2012 Ram 2500 and 3500 trucks. This kit is engineered to seamlessly install the Sony XAV-AX8500 10.1″ touchscreen radio while preserving factory aesthetics and factory vehicle systems.

Every component in this kit is designed using 3D laser-scanned vehicle data to ensure precise fitment, proper screen placement, and OEM-grade finish. The result is a clean, factory-style installation—without floating screens, improvised brackets, or irreversible dash modifications.

This solution eliminates compatibility issues common with universal dash kits and provides a true plug-and-play upgrade path for Ram owners looking to modernize their vehicle with a large-format touchscreen, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto.

Typical Install time is around an hour and 10 minutes if you have never installed a radio before.
