My 2018 Durango R/T nav showed me driving around in the middle of Lake Erie when I was surprisingly not doing so (about 120 miles off-target). Dealer ended up replacing the entire radio unit and I never had another issue.

I'm not using in-vehicle WiFi and am connecting to the vehicle via Bluetooth.

Trying to understand what problem that would solve. Can you explain?

So after the update last week, I still have frequent blips/cutouts when listening to Spotify over Android Auto (much like a CD skipping), but I haven't had Uconnect completely punt my phone off and throw an error. So I guess there's that. I haven't noticed any other differences, but wasn't...

Yikes. You have all the rear leg room of a Subaru BRZ.

I ended up ordering the Dunlops as well ($130/ea). They have a 2022 date code (which I am guessing is why they were so discounted - thanks simpletire.com). I am okay with the older date code as I don't do any towing or heavy hauling in the winter and will keep them stored appropriately during...

Yikes. I didn't think "80's Chrysler 5th Ave Paint Process" was still an available factory option.

This is completely ridiculous programming. Defrost means defrost. "Don't make me disconnect the blend door motors and rig up a set of aftermarket choke cables to direct the air where I say!"

I was able to duplicate what the dealer told me. Here's a video. If you've been underwhelmed by the defrosters in a 2021+ Ram, have a look!

Dropped my truck off at the dealership last night and got a call from them about a half hour ago. Here's the skinny: If you have the temperature setting at anything but the maximum setting (or within a few degrees of max), air will be split between the defroster duct and the floor duct when...

Same for me (2026 Big Horn)

Have you gotten the Dunlops mounted yet? I'm about to pull the trigger on the same set, but wanted an opinion on them before I order. I am primarily concerned with handling while turning as the reviews say these are great for braking/accelerating but are prone to side slippage. I drive a lot...

I plan to apply sealant to my 2026 as soon as it warms up outside. I'm not sure if it is still a going concern, but it can't hurt to do it anyway. After dealing with water intrusion into the racetrack tail light lens on my Durango (also a super common problem - notice how many you see on the...

We made it back in good shape and had fair weather for the return trip. Will be scheduling a service appointment to get this rectified ASAP!
