    Uconnect "bricked" and draining truck battery

    2019 Laramie with 12" screen. Got in truck two days ago and the console started an over-the-air update. I drove 30 mins home and got out of truck with the console saying it was updating and said truck didn't need to be on for the update to run. Got in the next day and battery is dead. When I...

    How to get radio update files

    2019 Ram, 12" screen.....Tried the update following the instructions here. It appeared to download the file from the USB drive, rebooted itself and then popped up with a Uconnect Error Code 01. Guess I will try to schedule an appt with the dealership to see if they will update. Since it's a...

    Siriusxm renewal

    Just a thought for those who primarily only listen to music on Sirius and have an Amazon Music subscription. You can just buy an Echo Auto (refurb) for $25 and set it up to play through your truck stereo. Can set it up in a few minutes, sound quality is much better and you can just tell it...

    WIFI

    I don't think so but not really any need since it's plenty fast enough. A bit pricey though.

    Harmon Kardon Audio Quality

    Same here on quality. Sirius isn't that great so I typically stream Amazon Music or my play list on thumb drive.

    Can dealership employee take your car to their house??

    The fact they didn't have your permission doesn't mean it's stolen and it's not a police matter. Confront the dealership and get a reasonable explanation of why the vehicle was there.

    Pedal Commander Installation Mishap

    It doesn't reprogram anything but the idea behind removing it is if you're having an electronic/computer issue it keeps the dealership from trying to use the installed PC as the cause and not honor your warranty.

    Pedal Commander Installation Mishap

    2019 Ram Laramie Black...installed Pedal Commander several days ago and the difference to me was amazing. I've squealed tires twice without meaning to in Sport mode and I'm actually afraid to try Sport+ mode until I can find an empty roadway with no other traffic. Definitely worth the money to...

    What do you dislike about your gen5 truck?

    Truck came with tow mirrors and I never tow anything. They're too big, don't have the capability to power fold in and tow mirrors aren't equipped with the sensors to give you the 360 degree view on cam like the regular mirrors are. This would have been a dealbreaker for me if I had known...

    New software 20.04.19

    Where can you go to see the software update notes so you can see what was changed/fixed? I checked the Uconnect web page and couldn't find anything there.
