Thanks for all the great ideas, my 400XDR is on order.

Had a dusting of snow the other day

No issues with BT, always connected and calls worked fine. Carplay has been more hit than miss since I updated to 12.1.3 iOS, but still not 100% reliable. Even though I have the "No Auto Play," set, it still switches away from XM to CarPlay when the phone connects, and I've seen it randomly...

I updated my phone, and it's working with CarPlay (iPhone 8+), it was only working intermittently up to this point and I can't honestly say this cured it, but 3 times out of 3 connections it has worked ... fingers crossed this was the cure!

Other than look kinda cool, do they serve any practical purpose? Reduce wind with window down?

I just got off the phone with uConnect support, there is a SB (discussed on these forums for other issues) called SB 08-003-19 that is supposed to cure the issue with CarPlay too .. having it installed next week, will let you know.

Hi Chippy, yes there are solutions, but non are as good (in my opinion) as a dedicated system with access to roof mounted antennas. Plus an OBD II solution puts the device in the most shielded part of the truck. Also, if my GMC was anything to go by, the ODB II connector is constantly powered...

I found the following on a site (NewAtlas.com), but no info on how to enable,

Thanks, searched on ROLL, YAW and PITCH didn't find anything :(

Was wondering if I'm missing something, but is there an off-road display for the cluster that shows, angles (roll, yaw, pitch), wheel direction etc. for off-roading with the Rebel?

There's a whole other thread, but I had the same issue, plug the phone in before turning on the truck! Make sure the phone is unlocked and answer all the questions on both screens.

My issue is, UC 8.4 without without NAV also doesn't have WiFi, with a teenage daughter having WiFi in my GMC was a godsend! After discovering the lack of WiFi with my non-nav it was obvious on the brochures, but surprised the dealer didn't mention it as I had certainly talked about my desire...

Don't give up, try different cables, unlock the truck, then phone, then press the start button on the truck, wait a little. First time the phone MUST be unlocked, also go to CarPlay on the phone, make sure its enabled to allow use while locked (settings then search for CarPlay is easiest)

Collected my new RAM Rebel from the dealership on Friday evening, extremely happy! First RAM, previously had a GMC Sierra. Fell for the RAMs rugged good looks :) Gary
