    Unknown knob on 2021 Ram

    I second the idea of it being a 'bass knob' (gain control for a sub woofer amp).

    Frisco, TX Dodge dealer

    I also went through Huffines in Lewisville - granted, I was going through the Pre-Sales, as my '21 had 5K on it, but it was an awesome experience. Kent McKee, my salesman, took care of me like no other, especially checking on me while driving to ensure I didn't get caught behind traffic, and...

    No CD player in my 2020 1500

    Quoting something one of my best friends said years ago, "New just means new, it doesn't necessarily mean 'good.'" He was referring to auto parts from the store when one doesn't work out of the box, but I believe it applies here as well. With smartphones rapidly becoming the 'standard,' rather...

    No CD player in my 2020 1500

    Screw that. I'm old school... when I buy something, I want to be able to hold it, touch it, and use it without having to depend on some 'provider service' [that I also have to pay for] in order to get to it (why pay more money to stream music you already own?). As a multi-faceted IT...

    In-floor storage floor liners

    I had Mopar/Ram "Weather Tech-like" rubber mats in my 2012 - same issues. I have the LongHorn rubber/carpet mats in my '21 - same deal - they cover up the lids (which is fine), needing to be lifted up to access/open them... but the back of the front seats only allow them to open part way in the...

    OEM CD Player

    Most likely there should be a cable hiding back in there somewhere, as it's cheaper to just have a 'one-size fits all' harness and just leave the sockets for non-present things unplugged. Let us know what you find - I'm on the fence about putting one in, as the radio stations suck out here in...

    TRX Shifter swap

    I miss that set-up from my 2012 LoneStar as well. The 'push-botton start' and 'dash-mounted gear selector knob' are taking a little bit to get used to. I caught myself on the way home from DFW [when I picked up my '21] trying to shift the tall Monster Ultra in the left-side cup holder into...

    In-floor storage floor liners

    Lifting the mat isn't as much of a problem IMHO, as the fact that the lids don't open all the way with the front seats all the way back (Sorry, I'm 6'5" and I'm not moving the seats forward just for easier access to use the compartments). They can quite nicely hold my jumper cables, flares...

    Decided To Not Lift My Truck

    I'm glad you went with the leveling kit, blue - it looks awesome! (y) I'm also one of those guys who believes that a proper 4x4 truck needs to be at least taller than me - and I'm 6'5". So, every 4x4 I've ever owned has been lifted in some form or fashion, with my Jeep getting ready to go up...

    What else in your garage?

    Nice YJ! I'm switching to that style of rims when I upsize to 35s. (y)

    USB not functional - truck sitting in sun on hot day - USB recovers after ~30 minutes of A/C

    I've been kicking around that idea as well, since my Motorola RAZR 2020 doesn't have wireless charging and the battery is only about half the size of a 'normal' smart phone battery (since the case splits to fold over). It does have 'turbocharge' mode when plugged into a 110 source and usually...

    Adding apps

    Gotcha. Like I said, I'm a relative n00b to both smart phones and 'smart' cars - my phone previous to this RAZR 2020 was a Kyocera ruggedized flip-phone. I've been in the IT industry since the mid-'80s and I'm also that guy who will lose my sh!t if I find fingerprints on my screens (so...

    USB not functional - truck sitting in sun on hot day - USB recovers after ~30 minutes of A/C

    I disagree with the notion that this is all 'normal operating parameters.' 34°C/93°F outside temps are not even close to average for summertime weather for the majority of places these trucks wind up. Even at that temp, the interior temps usually exceed 130°F (rule of thumb is to add 40°F to...

    Android Auto and UConnect lag

    Update: So, I hopped in the truck this morning, plugged my RAZR into the USB #2 as normal (that thing is a battery hog, even just being 'On') and when I got to the parking lot I noticed the 'Phone' icon on the bottom row was showing a blank, generic phone (normally, it shows the Bluetooth icon...

    Adding apps

    Can one not run the Android or Apple Auto through the screen and access the 'custom' apps that way? I accidentally hit the 'Android' button this morning, and it popped up my phone's apps on the top split screen... I didn't have time to play with it, since I was in the parking lot at work (and...

    Some Real World MPG Numbers

    I just picked up my 2021 on 2 Jul, and it was showing about 17mpg on the ecometer. Yeah... well... that's all about to change. After returning back to San Angelo (280 miles from the dealership), I topped off the tank and braced for the impact of real driving. So... 2.5 weeks of 'normal'...

    Line-x vs. Rhino vs. Toff

    I'm not sure if there are any others like it, but Rhino Liner seems to be in a class by itself. To my knowledge and experience, it's about the only one that stays somewhat pliable for any stretch of time - most all of the others I've seen basically turn into 80-grit sandpaper after a short...

    Alpine 9 Speaker System, Adding A Subwoofer.....

    Yes - your info is most helpful... thanks again! I'm thinking more and more that I wish I would've gotten the Laramie Sport I'd been looking at, rather than this Limited Longhorn my wife found... it would've been cheaper, had the Alpine system, and would've been a lot less 'Yee-Ha' than the...
