    Cabin Filter

    My 2016 didn’t even have a cabin filter. I had to do a hack to add one. Also, I recently swapped mine out for the K&N reusable cabin filter and it was a night and day difference in terms of airflow. Would highly recommend.

    Bypass Media Hub

    Leaning towards incompetence though since I have to clamp off hoses to make the A/C work and no one can tell me why I can’t activate my WiFi hotspot.

    Bypass Media Hub

    8PM. Just left the gym. Sun is almost down. Outside temp reads 104° on truck but weather says it’s 97°. CarPlay working. Now if I can predict it with this accuracy then Ram is either incompetent or purposely hiding something. @RamCares (allegedly).

    Bypass Media Hub

    Maybe that’s the cut off. 105° in Phoenix today. I am sitting in my truck right now about to head into the gym. No CarPlay. When I leave I guarantee it will work as the sun will be a little lower and the temp should be under 100°.

    Bypass Media Hub

    My media hub has been replaced twice because of it and the dealer acknowledged it was heat related. This has happened on two different 19 Rams I’ve owned (Limited with 12 inch screen and Laramie with 8 inch screen) as well as a loaner Laramie I was in for a month. Other people (mostly Phoenix...

    Bypass Media Hub

    ??? It may not be a Mini USB-B and could be proprietary but the shape looks the same.

    Bypass Media Hub

    I was looking online and it appears the connectors on the back of the Media Hub are standard Mini USB-B connectors. Does anyone know if it’s possible to just bypass the media hub and plug directly into the Head Unit for CarPlay since the media hub quits working when sitting in temps more than...

    USB and CarPlay doesn’t work when hot outside.

    Great questions. I sat in my truck for an hour with the AC going and my sunshade in trying to get CarPlay to turn on and it never did. I held a paper towel filled with ice on the sensor on the drivers side mirror to try and cool it down (didn’t work). I put a cold soda can in front of the USB...

    USB and CarPlay doesn’t work when hot outside.

    This is obviously a common issue that RAM doesn’t want to address. Just tell us what the problem is and how to fix it. Simple.

    USB and CarPlay doesn’t work when hot outside.

    [emoji1787] I am originally from Iowa. I was the guy that was wearing tee shirts in the winter when I moved here and laughing at the people wearing parkas. Almost 20 years later and I am the parka guy now when it drops below 60°. You definitely get accustomed to the heat. I tell my friends back...

    USB and CarPlay doesn’t work when hot outside.

    Oh trust me, I use remote start all the time. Still hit or miss. Went golfing Sunday afternoon. I think the high was like 112 or something. Started the truck when we teed off on 18. Ran for probably almost 15 minutes. Load up the clubs and get in the truck and to nobody’s surprise, no CarPlay.

    USB and CarPlay doesn’t work when hot outside.

    I initially thought that too because most of the time when it doesn’t work the truck is reading some absurd temp like 130° but it I don’t think it is because sometimes it will work even if the truck has a way off outside temp reading. I think if anything it might be tied to the inside temp probe...

    Why can we not activate a HotSpot Plan

    I have a 2019 Laramie, I have had a plan with the WiFi hotspot previously but during Covid didn’t have a need for it so cancelled it. Now I have a need for it again so wanted to give money to AT&T but is says that WiFi Hotspot service isn’t available for your vehicle. Called AT&T and they say...

    Wifi Question

    When I had it, mine stayed on. Did you go through all the settings?

    Wifi Question

    *activate. Not deactivate. [emoji1787]

    Wifi Question

    I get this when trying to set it up.

    Wifi Question

    Is it working again? I called AT&T last week because I tried to deactivate mine and they said it’s currently not working and it’s a Chrysler problem.

    Air conditioning performance

    Thanks. We have a harbor freight close to my house. Did the same. A/C is about 10 degrees cooler. I may make it through another Phoenix summer.

    USB/CarPlay doesn’t work when real hot

    You are lucky then. Mine has been replaced twice and issue still exists.
