Features
Overview: The RadioPro4 (RP4-CH11) is a radio replacement and SWC (steering wheel control) interface that comes pre-loaded with amplifier retention and SWC software, navigation based output signals, and firmware that retains all of the vehicle's original safety and convenience features when replacing the factory radio with an aftermarket head unit.
Functionality: The RP4-CH11 interface allows the replacement of a factory radio in select Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep vehicles with MSCAN or LSFT-CAN databus radios. Using this interface will retain factory features such as steering wheel controls (SWC), vehicle entertainment system (VES), and the factory audio amplifier whenever the original radio is removed. The RP4-CH11 also provides data bus driven outputs such as retained accessory power (RAP), vehicle speed sensor (VSS), illumination, reverse trigger, and parking brake.
Note: Does not retain uConnect.
Vehicle Compatibility: The RadioPro4 (RP4-CH11) is compatible with select 2004-up Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Mitsubishi, and Volkswagen vehicles with the CAN-bus system. Compatible vehicles as of 7/13/2016 include:

Amplified & Non-Amplified Factory System Compatible: The RadioPro4 (RP4-CH11) is compatible with both amplified and non-amplified factory systems.
- Vehicles without a factory amplifier: Connect the aftermarket radio's front & rear speaker wires to the vehicle connector.
- Vehicles with a factory amplifier: The factory amplifier only accepts two channels of audio input (left/right). Connect the front outputs of the aftermarket radio to the rear inputs of the vehicle connector. This will allow navigation voice prompts and Bluetooth calls to be heard. The rear speaker outputs of the aftermarket radio are not used. Fading is not supported in this application. The factory amplifier's fading is controlled by data communication from the factory radio. Neither the aftermarket radio or the interface have the ability to control the amplifier's fader.
Wiring Connection Chart: Only one of the two provided radio harnesses will be used.
