Yeah, I don't either. But I'm also not on the latest version. Maybe the update will offer it.

But do not have the ability to add AA, it shows up on its own tab with one widget below it. If i add a new page with one up top and 2 below, these are my options to add widgets. No AA, in shortcuts you can add apps and AA is there but it is just a shortcut to theAA tab that automatically loads.

You need to connect before it will show any of that.
The widgets are at the bottom.

I've updated to the latest version of uConnect and I'll have to double check later, but I am pretty sure I do not have the bottom two "projection" options when adding a new page. I think that is the whole issue.

I think it might not be showing for us Android users? Carplay vs AA may be different? I don't see the option either, but I see after reading through this that I'm on an older version also.

Version shouldn't matter.

Android Auto never worked with my UC5 and my Asus.
I will use my work phone and connect, but the home page says projection, not Carplay so it wouldn't make sense for it not to work.

Kind of yes.
You plug the dongle in via USB and it connects via wired carplay which is full screen, then you wireless connect with AA to the dongle in full screen which is connected to your car's radio which is AA full-screen and tricks your truck into doing it full-screen as it's already connected with CP full-screen so effectively it's AA full-screen.
I have the "AA Wireless" dongle, and don't see any option for full screen Android Auto either in the AA app or in the UConnect settings. Am I missing something?

You need Carplay dongles not Android Auto

Oh I see, so you do wireless Android Auto through a Car Play dongle... interesting.
Can you share any Models/links for CP dongles where this works?

Yes that is how it works.
Tricks the system into thinking it's Carplay which is in fact fullscreen.

The one I own isn't sold on Amazon anymore so no point in me listing in.
Has names like carplay box, ai box,, multimedia box, magic box. KSPIV is one of the brands that make these(the one I own is by them.)

First and last RAM I will be purchasing without full screen Android Auto. Looking at competitors that come with Android Auto full screen with bigger screens and that let me know that RAM really does not care after the sale. My 2022 Limited will be headed to the trade in block soon...

Imagine being so privileged, or spoiled depending on how you look at it, that not having full screen android auto causes you to sell your vehicle and disown the entire brand
Esp since it did not work when the truck was purchased, so mad about features that were never an option in the purchase... Can I get mad my 1500 doesn't do 0-60 in 2.5 seconds? it must be Ram's fault right?
