    USB-C and my iphone

    My truck usb port was working just fine and I tried to use a USB-C to connect my Iphone and a message saying "device not recognized" came up on the screen. Non of the USB-C ports would recognize or charge my iphone. I bought the usb-c cables on amazon as "legitimate apple cables". I thought it...

    Offical Answer From UConnect

    I was having problems with my iphone map apps on my ram with carplay. The maps would show my location as Virginia and I live in North Carolina. If my phone was disconnected from my truck carplay, my location was accurate on my phone maps. It did this with different iphones so it was not my...

    Compass Disappeared (Pretty Sure Its Fixed!)

    Have you tried disconnecting the battery and letting it sit for about half hour before you reconnect the battery? It cleared my compass and carplay location issues. My iphone location was always wrong. After the battery disconnect, everything has been working great.

    2019 Longhorn with no anti spin diff or E-Locker

    I have an open differential on my 4x4 laramie with 3.21 gears. I have been in situations where I have seen my traction control/ESC, not sure exactly which one, kick in a tight turn with hard acceleration and I hear the squeal from the rear tires. I have always had a limited slip in my previous...

    uconnect on 8.4 non nav, 2019 1500

    my truck has had zero problems indicating correct locations on waze, apple maps, and google maps through my iphone 6s. So it looks like a good fix. Hope y'all have the same results. Good luck.

    While i was looking for something else on the forum I found a discussion about compass problems on the ram. Today driving home, I noticed that the compass was reading 180 degrees incorrectly from the direction I was headed. The fix for them was disconnecting the battery for about half an hour. I...

    RAM Reliability? Dead last per Consumer Reports...

    I have had fords, chevys, and dodges. I have bought at least one of each brand new from the dealership. I bought a 1997 Ram 2500 ext cab, long bed, 4x4, v10, manual transmission. Wobbled from the get go, lemon lawed that dude, got a 1998 same configuration but auto transmission. Sold it after...

    Time to tow

    I ordered and received the 8600 timbrens, I took a picture of the stock rubber bumper vs the diameter of the timbren. They might be millimeters apart in difference.

    On my way to work this morning, I plugged my iphone on a standard usb port, and carplay initiated, and my maps was indicating proper location and 100% functional. I did nothing different. So it looks like this will be an intermittent issue.

    Time to tow

    I used a 2014 quad cab 5.7 hemi 4x4 ram to tow a 28, end to end measurement, travel trailer. I used a weight equalizing hitch and I installed sumo springs which function the same way as the timbrens and the truck and trailer traveled level and stayed true to directional reference. The sumo...

    Well, I dont have to worry about carplay and my iphone maps getting their references correct. I was driving back with the iphone connected through carplay, map was displayed and giving me directions properly, then the iphone/carplay went off line, and the carplay icon was gone from my display. I...

    I have no doubt an upgrade will fix it, either by the company or a hacker.

    Time to tow

    Do you have the air suspension? Your truck looks like it has all sorts of space between the rear tires and the wheel wells. Is that because of weight distribution hitch? I tow a 28ft travel trailer and if I do not use the weight distribution hitch, you can see how much it compresses the rear...

    Thanks, I ordered the American hard Tri Fold tonneau part number 76209. Seemed like the best compromise for configuration that I could find. I will post pictures when I get it installed.

    I have never had a soft cover on my trucks, does it flap at highway speeds?

    After having my ram for about 3 weeks, I have come to the conclusion that new cable, resets on the truck and phone, connecting and reconnecting will not produce a repeatable result. The only way it has shown the true location information, is when maps displays accurate location and I leave my...
