Picked up a brand new 2025 ram sat. Today the map in the instrument panel in fornt of steering column just keeps saying loading maps but will not load. Navigation on the console in middle of vehicle works still. Is this an easy fix or do i need to go back to dealer?
 
Any luck with this? I just picked mine up yesterday and it started do the same thing this morning.
 
Try disconnecting the negative battery cable and hooking it back up.
 
No, happened twice soo far both times came back after a few days. Brought it to dealership while it showed the issue and was told they have not seen this nor do they know what to do about it because it does not spit an error code.. called ram connect who patched me through too uconnect they patched me back too ram connect and then when i told them i was getting a run around was told too contact my dealer after i had already done so… long story short no answers from anywhere yet

I think the electronics are a little buggy yet on the 25s I picked up my 25 limited on Saturday and zi am having a time getting the HUD to set the way I want it and it seems the Radio is flaky when it comes to Bass response. Also questioning the auto folding outside mirrors. I haven’t got those to work yet and I have it checked in the u connect. But It could just be me not knowing how this stuff works in a ram.

Just got truck back from dealer. They claim there was a hidden code somewhere deep that only their laptops will pickup. This led them to a proxy calibration they believ this may have been the culprit time will tell
 
Just joined this forum for this very issue. I have 2024 Limited Longhorn and this happened right after the last software update. the Navigation on the instrument panel works.....sometimes. Please post if a resolution is found.

24 rebel gt . I’m having the same problem! Right after the update. I found that if I go into settings and change the theme and then change it back. It pops back up, but then I noticed it disappears again in a little while. It’s a little annoying because even though I don’t use that nav screen on my cluster and usually just use CarPlay navigation It looks kind of cool as opposed to just putting more gauges up there. I think I’ll try a soft reset maybe a hard reset and see how it goes. These updates are more trouble than they’re worth.

Interesting about changing the Theme.... I haven't tried that. So far I have found that if I start the truck when it is dark outside, the Navigation comes up. But if it is already bright outside no Nav. I was going to try covering the daylight sensor this afternoon to see if it really makes a difference. I have also tried "resetting the can bus" Not really sure what that means but I read in a TRX forum when I was having heads up display issues.... that if you turn on the ignition...but not the engine then shut it off and then open the door, close the door and wait for the dash to go completely blank. and repeat that 3 times, it will reset the can bus. That didn't really do anything for this problem, it probably didn't fix my HUD either..... but that somehow stopped being a problem.
 
2025 Rebel X and mine does that all the time. For some reason it defaults to whatever XM channel I'm listening to then I need to change the screen. Often times I have to toggle over to it and then it comes back to life. Gremlins....

I try a soft reset and that didn’t do anything so I figured I’d leave it for a bit then all of a sudden during the day it just started working again. My HUD was never a problem. Only the nav display on my cluster.

You did it @Davenator ! I went out to my truck after work and I had No Navigation in my instrument cluster. I went into the settings and changed the theme to 1 or 2 I forget which one but regardless, when I changed it the cluster flashed and the nav cam up in the cluster. I think something about changing the theme resends the signal to display navigation. Whatever the cause, so far this seems to remedy the problem for the time being. I should let you all know that with my problem I never lost the Navigation......only the display in the instrument cluster. and I never lost it during driving. only if I parked and restarted the truck I would either have it or I wouldn't. Hope this helps others with the same issue, I also hope that the next software update resolves this issue once and for all. Thanks again.
 
What is so great about the nav in the instrument cluster? I have it on the big screen so don't need to see it twice. It only shows the Tom Tom nav right? If so, I don't use it anyway.

for me I use the tom tom navigation because it gives me the full 12 inch screen. if I use my android auto google maps I only get half screen. As for the Nav in the instrument cluster.... when you have a destination in your NAV and you have a wife that is always switching Sirius xm stations...(in effect, hiding the map).. its handy to know that my turn is coming up.....

Lol. Never thought about that. My wife doesn't touch a thing. She even has her own screen she can watch stuff on but she prefers to talk and bother me.
 
2024 Limited here and have been having the same issue. Driving me crazy. I have tried soft resetting and it’ll work sometimes if CarPlay or other apps aren’t triggered to come on screen immediately on restart. Very weird. Tried changing the theme as suggested and that actually worked when I toggled away and back on the cluster map. Thanks for the suggestion!
 
Well the very next day it was disappearing on me again. Haha. When I try the theme fix it only lasts for about a day. Hopefully still works for you guys.
 
Same issue, 2024 Limited, issue started happening after the last update - is there a way to revert back to the previous software build?

I’d rather not have to change the theme everytime…
 
The theme thing works and just happened to me after the last update. It literally lasts a day. Its so annoying. I never had issues until the update. Please if anyone finds a fix or a way to revert back to the previous build, please post it. Thank you.
 
So I eventually factory reset the radio in vehicle settings and it worked.
