    Wireless CarPlay Dongle

    It sounds more like a dud situation. My Autobox has been much more reliable than my CarLinkIt. Not perfect, but much more stable and without the lag I was seeing with the CarLinkIt. Never tried the CPLAY2air.

    3rd brake light leak VS. cracked frame

    Has anyone seen an "AH"? My AG has been working well, but as soon as I see the first sign of another leak I'll be replacing it with the AG I just received when ordering the AH. Maybe by that time they'll have an "AI" or an "AJ", LOL!

    Wireless CarPlay Dongle

    I'm also going to give the AutoBox a try based on your recommendation. My CarLinkit 3.0 has some significant lag at times using Waze, bad enough to cause me to miss my turns every now and again. It usually connects well the first time I hop in my truck, but if I stop anywhere and then get back...

    3rd brake light leak VS. cracked frame

    Well I ordered the "AH" but still received the "AG". I wonder if they are showing as interchangeable in the system? Oh well.

    3rd brake light leak VS. cracked frame

    Has anyone else noticed that they revised the 3rd brake light part number again? I just went to order another one (I like to have a spare and they are cheap), and found 68298380AH in the system now. I had ordered the "AG" unit before with the revised gasket and it's been working well for me...

    USB and CarPlay doesn’t work when hot outside.

    My truck sat out in the heat of one of the hottest days of the year yesterday, and my hub/Carplay worked like a champ all afternoon. I can't figure it out. I've yet to pull my fuse to reset anything, but the hub operation is hit or miss with me. My luck any trip to the dealership would end...

    Uneven Tire Wear

    I'd be interested in hearing how those Defenders work for you. I bought a set for my wife's JGC earlier this year and they have been great so far. I went with Falken Wildpeaks on my Ram last time, but am not happy with the reduced fuel economy and wear I'm seeing. I'm 10k in on them and they...

    USB and CarPlay doesn’t work when hot outside.

    What's strange is that I've had this truck for over 3 years and here in Alabama we often get hot summer days and I have never had this issue before this week. The past week it's been warm for June, but not record breaking heat by any means. But yeah, it would suck to not have Carplay working 6...

    USB and CarPlay doesn’t work when hot outside.

    My Carplay returned to action last night when I got back in the truck after letting it sit for several hours in the afternoon sun. It was still hot, but not as hot as the morning sun had gotten the interior of the truck when Carplay stopped on me. That is the strangest thing. I'll keep...

    Bypass Media Hub

    Understood. That wasn't the intent of my post, but I wasn't clear. I was saying I'd rather pay $35 for the part than $250 in labor for the "free" part.

    Bypass Media Hub

    My Carplay stopped working this week, so I've been diving into these forums to see what people are dealing with. We are in Alabama, so heat isn't new to us either. But this is the first year I've had issues with Carplay during the summer heat. I find that strange, but not impossible to...

    USB and CarPlay doesn’t work when hot outside.

    PM sent. Carplay worked this morning but then disappeared all together after sitting in the sun for about 45 minutes. Now it won't come back. First time dealing with this issue myself.

    Front USB power only

    My 2019 just started to act up on me today. Carplay is no longer recognized. Tried it with my wireless Carplay dongle and with a cable. Both worked this morning, but stopped working when I stopped for a few minutes to eat. I'm thinking my USB media hub died. If your truck is used and you've...

    UConnect/CarPlay Problems

    When did they replace it last time? I was told the replacement parts carried their own warranty and you may still be able to get it replaced under the parts warranty even if your truck is no longer in the 3/36 coverage. Worth at least calling the dealership to ask.

    UConnect/CarPlay Problems

    What iOS are you running now? When they first released iOS 15 it caused CarPlay issues for some people. The timeframe would match up with your issues. If you are at iOS 15 try to update to 15.1 and see if that helps.
