    Wireless CarPlay Dongle

    I have the one to the left as well. I just returned from a trip to Orange Beach. 7 hours and 15 minutes one way actual drive time. I ran Waze and streamed iHeart radio the entire time. There and back without a single issue other than the occasional loss of signal (data coverage) but that was to...

    Wireless CarPlay Dongle

    I haven't unplugged it yet. I'm pretty sure the draw is very little if that is a concern for you. I have a Limited that is opening steps, turning on lights and making compressor noises. I also got caught up in another thread on the battery so I have changed my battery out for the Interstate H8...

    Wireless CarPlay Dongle

    It connects every time and seems to connect faster than the cplay2air. I have not had one single issue so far. I even tried to stress it by running the Waze app and streaming iHeart radio. No issues for me. However, I listen to my music on a usb, port #1.

    Wireless CarPlay Dongle

    I will add this about the AutoBox compared to the cplay2air after a few days of using it. It connects quicker. There is almost no lag when using Waze which is one of the primary reasons I wanted apple carplay. I was using an old Samsung Galaxy 5 using the wire to port #2. I got tired of it...

    Wireless CarPlay Dongle

    I needed to revive this thread in order to give "props" to securityguy. Securityguy took time out of his day to lead me in the right decision with my wireless dongle. The cplay2air wasn't working for me. The lag and screen would just go blank. I would have to unplug the dongle and re-plug it in...

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    HaHa, sometimes all we need is a little nudge. I'm glad it worked out for you.

    So that day finally arrived, congrats! Going on nearly 2 years and haven't gotten sick of it yet. Come to think of it, the more I drive it the more I like it. It's perfect for me.

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    Installed it earlier today, but just now able to post the picture. No picture means it didn't happen. My picture is the same as others though. I did remove the knee panel to make it easier to get my arm in there. I also found it easier to depress the lower clip first and push it out enough to...

    They say it adds horsepower, Lol. I got it because i get caught up in this forum and see stuff that I really like. I really liked this one and it wasn't too expensive so I pulled the trigger on this one.

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    One of the other members posted links and I chose Bam Wholesale. I got an email from them saying it was backordered and they didn't have an eta. They asked if I wanted to cancel or wait. I chose to wait. I placed the order on 5/5 and received it 6/8

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    Thanks, I guess my arms aren't long enough. I looked at it before I ordered it and I couldn't get to it. I really didn't want to remove the radio because with my luck I would torque or crack the screen.

    The wait is over and have a project for Saturday. I really don't want to remove the radio. I'm thinking I'm going to try to remove the knee panel and go up from there. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    A couple of Memorial Day projects and gifts for my truck. T The Mopar assist step wasn't as easy for me, or at least it took longer than 10 minutes. I had to remove the exhaust tip which I had just put on Friday. If I had known that my step was arriving on Saturday then I would've done both at...

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    Lol, especially from me, I'm in a suburb town of Memphis and worked in/for Memphis for 30 years. I attended Memphis State before it was the U of M. Dana Kirk was the coach back then and I attended high school with Wilfong. Coach Calipari was great for Memphis but, well you know where the story...

    I was going to ask if it were an Alabama Crimson Tide driver, but you answered the question in your reply. Does your wife coach for the the Alabama cheer squad? Just trying to be sarcastically funny here. I know how bad this is already, but you have a Ga tag and a Ky hitch cover
