Planning out my install in my 2018 Ram 2500 Cummins.
On Page 29 of the manual, "Connecting the Radio" in Step 1, it says "To reduce high frequency electronic noise, place the Controller Cable through the supplied ferrite core."
It shows a diagram of one of those typical hinged plastic-cased ferrite toroids being placed onto the controller (data) cable from the head unit to the controller panel. There is no ferrite core supplied with my radio, not on the controller cable, not in any of the parts bags, nowhere that I can see. A google search for the radio with ferrite core doesn't turn up anything. A ferrite core is not listed in the manual as being included. The bag that contains my controller cable was not sealed all the way.
Is the manual wrong in stating that the ferrite core is supplied? Or did someone rob the item from my radio and then return it?
