    Error in ACC mode

    I was told by a Uconnect customer service rep that the radio is not supposed to work on ACC, only on run. So when sitting with engine off, I just push the start button twice without pushing brake pedal. I am waiting for a dealer service visit to pursue farther. My previous Ram always worked...

    Cant figure out media problem

    That is a strange issue! Mine still has some gremlins, such as periodically losing all radio presets. But I've been able to resolve most other issues. Good Luck.

    Cant figure out media problem

    There are options in your Uconnect settings that control what happens when you use the USB ports. You can toggle on/off Android Auto. If I remember, correctly, you can toggle USB to be charge only. This may be why ports aren't working for media. Look in device settings. Also don't connect your...

    Thanks Tinshield. Which Uconnect do you have? 8.4 with or without nav, or the 12? You describe exactly what I was expecting mine to do.

    Is Dealer blowing smoke up my *** . Need help

    I didn't get much time to mess with the truck with his IPhone attached. So I really didn't get to check functionality . But as soon as he paired his phone,, a push of the VR button got a female sounding voice posing a question, which I don't remember content of the query. Unless Apple...

    Is Dealer blowing smoke up my *** . Need help

    I stopped at a Ram dealership over the weekend. Found a 2022 Bighorn with 8.4 Uconnect and without the nav. Nice young salesman was willing to let me check out the system. Well, the Voice Recognition button didn't do anything, just like my truck. Screen message said "no phone paired"...

    Is Dealer blowing smoke up my *** . Need help

    Thanks. That would be very helpful. The Bighorn standard equip spec spells out "VOICE ACTIVATED AUDIO". That's what keeps making think that I should at least be able to get a response. I can get Android Auto to respond like Siri. But can't get Uconnect. No responses. I even disconnected...

    Is Dealer blowing smoke up my *** . Need help

    Rebel2022, Thanks for the pictures. Very helpful. I was in correct settings, but those screen prompts are not on mine. The other menu items such as DISPLAY, MY PROFILE, etc. are there. So maybe they dropped that on 8.4 ...?

    Is Dealer blowing smoke up my *** . Need help

    Thanks Rebel2022 I searched through all my settings and couldn't find anything regarding voice. Do you have the 8.4 no nav? Would it be possible to post a picture of the screens? Scram1500 may be on to something....

    Is Dealer blowing smoke up my *** . Need help

    Thanks for everyone's input. As NCBACKCOUNTRY and Rebel22 both explained, that is what I was expecting. So will pursue with Ram and dealer again. Found a Bighorn description on Ram's website that even says " Voice activated audio controls".

    Is Dealer blowing smoke up my *** . Need help

    I have a newly purchased 2022 Bighorn with 8.4 without Nav. My problem. The phone and voice recognition buttons on steering wheel don't do anything except answer incoming call or hang up phone. No voice prompts.. The VR does not give me a voice prompt. Just silence. Now my old 2013 Bighorn...

    Help 8.4” uconnect 5 error “restart system”

    I have a new 2022 Bighorn also. Unconnect 8.4. I had same problems. I got back my Sirius by doing a radio reset by holding in the radio volume/power knob for about 10 seconds. I also have same problem in ACC. I have to push start button twice to "run" setting to get everything to work. (Not...
