DAB Radio in my DAB-ROW - Rest of World spec ram - how can i enable this?

[Willgresswell]

Hi Guys, I was hoping someone would be able to help? - I have looked and searched on google and on here but can't seem to find an answer for my question. I have a ROW spec Ram 1500 DT (2022 model on 2023 plate) and the build sheet specifically says that i have the DAB-ROW spec u connect system - UCONNECT 5 NAV W 8.4" DISP (ROW-DAB)

I have been through the settings on the screen but can't find the shortcut to the DAB radio anywhere and wondered if anyone knew of a wway to enable it or at least what do i need to do to get it added to the screen and able to play?

be gald of any help, thanks.

"(2022 model on 2023 plate)" "DAB radio" "ROW spec Ram"
Explain, please.

HI Steve, My car was road registered in 2023 when it was exported to the UK but the manufacture date was actually in 2022. i don't know if it makes it a 2022 or 20223 ram, presumably a 2022 model?

When i look up the build sheet for my vehicle, under the infotainment system it lists my U Connect system as the UCONNECT 5 NAV W 8.4" DISP (ROW-DAB). As above, where i have googled this, it states that this is the ROW - Rest of World Spec wchih should in theory mean that it has DAB Radio. I have tried to go throguh all settings avaliable on screen and i can't find this anywhere. I am presuming it needs to be activated but am wondering how i go about this.

For starters, the VIN 10th character denotes model year:


Also, in the UK, your number plate displays model year by two-digit number:

Thansk Steve, yes this is why i didn't know what it would be classed as becuase my Vin 10th digit is N which is a 2022 and reg plate denotes that it is 2023.

Thanks for you help and feedback, did you have any comments on the row spec? I have attached my build sheet to show the ROW spec.

OK. That explains your 2022 model on 2023 plate statement.
On page 5, I see "2022 VEHICLE SPECIFICATIONS"
Where was it imported from? I see some confusing data on the last page of the build sheet:
MARTINIQUE COUNTRY CODE
PUERTO RICO REGION CODE
LATAM REGION - which I guess means LATin AMerica.
I'll dig into it a bit more to see what's yet to discover.

Thanks Steve - i don't actually know as you say, there is some conflicting information on the build sheet. The sticker in the door clil on the car itself states that it was a canadian car build for ROW/export spec and it actually belonged to Tyson Fury before i purchased the car so i am not really able to find any more info but just interested to see if i can get the DAB radio going!

 

[stevj]

OK. Paid a visit to my local Ram dealership with a copy of your build sheet and neither service, sales, nor parts departments could answer any questions about ROW spec or DAB radio.
@Willgresswell Sorry I couldn't be more help on this.

Thanks for trying Steve and going into the agrage!! - much appreciated. Thats interesting they didn't know about it - i geuss i will wait till it next goes into a garage with a system which can read the build on this or ecu/u connect settings and ill see if there is such a thing where it can be enabled etc.

again thanks.
