4.3s to 8.4n

[zamoon]

Yes I know their are topics regarding the same thing, but nothing I can find that gives a list of the exact needed parts. I have a 2012 SXT 3.6 with the 4.3s system. I want to install the 8.4 but I just want to make sure I order all the correct parts. Here is the OEM side for any of the center console:

(http://www.factorychryslerparts.com/showAssembly.aspx?ukey_assembly=539954&ukey_make=1062&ukey_model=15496&modelYear=2012&ukey_category=20307&ukey_driveLine=7866&ukey_trimLevel=18595)

I think I gathered the correct parts, I just want to make 100% sure. If I am missing anything or come to expect anything please let me know. I want to be very concrete before investing time and money.

For the upper 8.4n with bezel these are the stock codes: (05064993AH, 05064993AD, 05064993AF, & 05064993AG) I don't know what the difference is between these parts. $1025.82

(http://www.factorychryslerparts.com/products/DODGE/2012/JOURNEYFWD--36L-V6-VVT--6-Speed-Automatic-62TELUX/CENTER-STACK-Upper-RE2-RE3-RE6-RB4-RB5-RB6--RE2-RE3-RE6-RB4-RB5-RB6--RE2-Or-RE3-Or-RE6-Or-RB4-Or-RB5-Or-RB6--RE2-RE6-RB5-RB6--RE3-Or-RE6-Or-RB4-Or/4295333/05064993AH.html)

For the lower these are the stock code: (1SK601X9AD, 1SK601X9AB, & 1SK601X9AC) I still don't know what the difference is. $352.50

Then you have this set of lowers: (1RK591X9AD, 1RK591X9AB, & 1RK591X9AC) I don't know what seperates the Center Stack Lower from Center Stack Export Lower which is what this is.

(http://www.factorychryslerparts.com/products/DODGE/2012/JOURNEYFWD--36L-V6-VVT--6-Speed-Automatic-62TELUX/CENTER-STACK-Lower-RFL--RFL--Mid-High-With-Non-BUX-Knobs--RFL--MidHigh/4385526/1RK591X9AD.html)

From what I have read I will loose SOME functionality with the AC but I am fully replacing the lower too, will I still lose that function? And because I already have SAT I will have no problem getting nav to work. I do not need hands free or calling. As far as I know that is the only issue, or has that been resolved with something? Anyone who has done, this I would love some light shed beyond shuffling through the posts (which I have done at least a dozen times). I just really want to check all my bases.

Thank you,

Regarding the part numbers... when a part # is superseded Chrysler advances the last digit (letter)...

Example:

05064993AF

05064993AG

05064993AH

05064993AI

In the above set, 05064993AI is the most current part #. If you are ordering through a dealer, the latest revision will usually come up, and depending on parts stock it may be the only choice offered. Typically, it's best to have the latest revision when possible.

Lower:

1SK601X9AD is for export models. For the U.S. market the part # is 1RK591X9AD.
