    Preventing additional phone from taking over Android Auto

    This happens every time my wife plugs her iPhone in to charge while my Android is connected via Android Auto. When her phone connects the uconnect screen always prompts if we want to switch to the iPhone. Tap the "no" button and a few seconds it prompts again, tap "no" again and her phone...

    What to use to get bugs off chrome?

    Turtle Wax Bug & Tar Remover. I use the straw foam and it has worked great. Someone said use a spray wax as a preventative measure . .. good idea. We get about a month or so with swarms of love bugs and I've used Pam cooking spray in the past to keep bugs from sticking. Made kind of a mess but...

    POLL: Did you name your truck?

    Never considered naming my truck until I registered it for a toll tag. They have a nickname field and I was feeling creative so now my truck is known as "Black Sheep".

    Spooked a little by so many complaints here!

    Sorry for the lack of details. Never considered creating a signature line. Guess I should My truck is a 2019, 1500 crewcab 4x4 Lonestar Level 2 trim, 8.4 screen, non-nav LED lighting, 3.92 gears, 33 gal tank. Oh and black with the pano sun roof. Not sure of the build date but purchased end of...

    Brake light issue , Plz Help

    Do you have the LED tail lights or standard bulbs? I have the LED light package and my tail lights light up top and bottom. Don't know if what you are describing is normal for standard bulb systems of not but it does sound odd.

    RAM Reliability? Dead last per Consumer Reports...

    Can't speak to that report or how they might have spun the numbers to get the answers they wanted. I can only relate real life events over the last few years. The truck I got rid off was a Chevy Z71. At 64k miles I put a 4500.00 transmission in it. At 90k miles I had to replace the starter...

    Spooked a little by so many complaints here!

    I've seen a few on Youtube that are colored the same way so thought it was normal then I saw some that were pure white. As best as I can remember it was this color when I bought it. If this attachment works it's from a picture I took with only 900ish miles. The part below the red dashed line...

    LED Bedlight Wiring

    Thanks for taking the time to document this. I plan to add some LEDs (non-mopar) and what you describe sounds exactly like what I want to do. Manual ON, Manual OFF or work in conjunction with cargo bed lights.

    Spooked a little by so many complaints here!

    Not sure if this helps but my 2019 1500 4x4 Lonestar has not had a single issue so far. At about 7500 miles and its been great, better than I expected to be honest. No water leaks, not cracked window trim, only Uconnnect issue has been with Waze but that software I assume. AC works ok, not...

    Updated tonneau cover

    Got the Paragon for my sons F150 and installed it a couple months ago. Install was easy and he really likes it. So far no issues with leaks or anything like that. Simple to operate and very easy to remove. Thinking I might get the same for my Ram. Sent from my SM-T230NU using Tapatalk

    Traction control

    Goes hand in hand with having a headlight switch off position that doesn't kill the lights. Stupid, just don't make sense to me.

    U connect and Navigation update

    Would this be why Waze gets all turned around when using it via uConnect? I have the 8.4 non-nav system and Google Maps seems to work fine but Waze gets lost every few minutes. When I first got the truck in September Waze worked perfectly as did Google Maps. Waze was updated on the phone as...

    Diablosport + PCM Swap = awesome!

    Guess I'm gonna have to look into those options (not cut the wire LOL) I like the lights most of the time but at 4ish am when I'm headed to deer blind I don't want light shining across the hillside.

    Discolored Speedometer Numbers on LCD Screen?

    I have the Lonestar L2 (same as Bighorn I think) and I also have the discolored MPH readout. I've not noticed this on other display settings. These color themes, does this required the 8.4 Nav or does it apply the the non-nav version as well? So far I've not seen any options to change the LCD...

    Diablosport + PCM Swap = awesome!

    Can you use this to tell the computer that OFF means OFF for the headlights? I have the LED lighting package and I can't seem to figure out how to turn OFF the headlights, marker lights, DTRLs and the LED strips. Very frustrating to have an OFF position on the switch that does not turn...

    New Guy, Looking for new RAM 1500

    Not sure what part of Houston you are in but I had good experiences with River Oaks Ram and Finnigan in Richmond. Ended up buying from Omar at Finnigan due to price and location. If you on the southwest side of town I'd recommend contacting Omar. As for equipment, might consider adding the...

    Add Me to the List: Water Leaking

    Dang... 11 days and no fix ? Sorry to hear that. I guess so far I've been lucky not having any leaks. I will be watching it like a hawk that's for sure. Good luck and don't give up. For the money we spend on these trucks we should have some kind of recourse.

    ECO mode

    I drive from Sugarland to Tomball or to IAH almost daily and I've found that wind and even the road surface makes a difference. Hwy 99 from I-10 to 290, almost never get ECO mode at 70 mph but on 290 from Hwy 6 to Hwy 99 I can run 80 in ECO mode. Same time of day, same temps, no wind, only...
