That depends on the version. If you have any of the 4 series, yes. If you have 5, then once Windows 7 runs out, it's done. The 5.4 will use Windows 10, but it is very buggy.

It really depends on the setup you choose. I did a replacement a few months ago and it was just over $3k for the module and the forward radar. That didn't include the labor, the cost to have the unit programmed to the truck, etc. It took me 10 hours to get that thing in the truck, get all the parameters set, etc. There is a gyro that mounts on the frame under the cab at the cross over that has to be installed, perfectly level and programmed. That is where the time will be eaten up. You have this long process of having the cab steady, raising the wheels up on one corner, then another, etc for the calibration of the unit. This was for a replacement so I can imaging a install would be a longer task.

I would suggest the Vorad for an aftermarket. I've installed them trucks that signed on to fleets that must have them. They took a couple hours and done. You mount the unit on the dash or in the dash, then mount forward radar, blind spot indications lights, wire to tap into the driver side speaker, and a quick parameter change to allow the system to talk to the CAN BUS. Done.
