Anyone know if the SHAP is open tomorrow? Would have thought we would have some posts from SHAP info for schedules.????

 

[Fliphappy]

Who knows... you may wind up with a '23! ;-)

Ouch. Low blow!

They’re open tomorrow. You usually won’t see anything about their schedule unless it’s out of the ordinary (i.e., closed).

 

[BornTooLate]

Dunno how you do it. I would not be able to wait that long. At what point you say **** it and no longer wait for it.

i'm hard as steel . i'm in it until the end.

If I'm reading things correctly, the Monday midnight shift should start up in 4 1/2 hours.

Sorry, meant Tuesday midnight shift. Got my days mixed up.

I mean, I feel bad for the people that make use of these features but I don't give the smartphone connected stuff the time of day.

At least with the current U4c we had 12 months of usage. Now it’s down to 3 months. What a joke

 

[EMS_Pilot_66]

RamConnect sounds great, but the current app sucks and with this being new, it'll be buggy as hell. Aftermarket alarm with GPS going in mine once I get it.

Maybe you missed the part where the most important parts we’ll use for UC5 are those below and you’ll only have them for 3 months then have to pay for them. It’ll be interesting to hear if the Nav is still usable after 3months. Also looks like everyone will still have outdated maps without paying a subscription fee.

How much would this subscription cost?

 

[AMS Guru]

How much would this subscription cost?

At this time, they're keeping the subscription pricing confidential. I don't think they want us to know until we're "hooked". 12 months was too short as it was, 3 months is a TOKEN amount when FordPass is complementary from day one for the life of the vehicle. As @EMS_Pilot_66 has pointed out we all need to hammer RAM on this one-it's greedy and baloney. Subscriptions are a way of life for all industries, but I doubt any of us on here paid less than ~$50K for our trucks and most paid considerably more than that with the options we chose. At the bare minimum Stellantis should be including a 3 year subscription to match the term of the basic warranty on the truck. I believe SiriusXM radio also got cut in half to 6 months. Also insulting as well-that should stick to the 1 year included trial.

Part of it is not the apps fault in and of itself, it's the cellular connection to the truck. All domestic systems like this use AT&T GSM for connection (Ford, GM, and even the system in the farm equipment I sell)

GSM can be finicky-there's not much "weak signal" backup of sorts. I'm not saying this will be any better or worse but usually when the remote start would not work for me in the past it was most likely because of lack of mobile connection, not a fault of the app itself.....

I received a reply a few days late from Ram Care about availability of a MY22 brochure. This is what they replied with:



I'll give them credit at least I received a follow-up communication even if it wasn't the answer I wanted......

The app is still the "face" of the technology behind the scenes. When I'm standing 10 feet from me vehicle with full cell service and it still takes 5 minutes...it sucks

In that situation, I would just use the key fob.

only part I care about is updated maps since construction happens a lot in my area. Hell my 2013 BMW lets me download and load new maps if I don't want to take it to the dealer.
But I will still go to the thread and comment. Thanks

 

[AngelPhoenix]

i don't believe i will use any of it.

Same, clearly we're not the target audience for this stuff. Especially Sirius XM, like, people actually use that?

I mean no offense but with music streaming services I am at a loss as to why satellite radio is still a thing. Maybe someone can clue me in?

There's actually a large portion of the western US with little to no mobile service, ask me how I know.
