    Price negotiated from MSRP

    So are the April Rebates any better? I got mine in late March, and I'm just wondering what April brought.

    When are you doing your first oil change?

    Can you post a link to the App, or its actual name so we can find it. That would be great to have.

    Uconnect software

    I just got a message on my phone when I opened my Uconnect App stating that I should download the new App as the existing one will no longer work after 4/15/19. It is offering me version 3.3.4 (124). Last updated March 1, 2019. Although I downloaded my current Uconnect app after March 1...

    License Plate Reverse light

    FIXED! It was the Freaking Fuses! I must have blown the Reverse 20amp fuse and the Left Directional 10a fuse when setting it up and testing. Made no sense that the left directional on trailer harness would not work, then it dawned on me - fuses!!! By now I should know to always check...

    Phone contact photos missing?

    HERE'S THE FIX! So I got both parts to work. Contacts syncing again and the newly added contact to show up, and all have their contact pictures. 1. How to get Contacts to show up again on Uconnect: You must delete the phone on the Uconnect and also FORGET the Uconnect on your phone's...

    Phone contact photos missing?

    So I now have the same issue. Wanted to change my home phone number to HOME in my phone's contacts. So I did that by simply adding a new contact named HOME. I then tried to find it on the Uconnect Contacts but HOME was not listed. I figured it takes some time to re-read and find it. Waited...

    License Plate Reverse light

    IT'S THE TRUCK! Well, after 2 hours of trouble shooting, a new continuity tester bec. old one had a blown bulb, I am finding that it is probably the actual trailer wiring in the truck. I tested the 7 pins in the wiring harness, and only the Hot and Right Directional have power (probably the...

    License Plate Reverse light

    I just spliced right into the vehicles factory 7pin while trouble shooting my connections. This is not a good way, as the connection tricked the truck into thinking a trailer was connected. Infoscreen said Trailer Connected, enter Setup. and Reverse Collision sensor was deactivated and could...

    License Plate Reverse light

    So did I. You connected the black/white strip VLED wire to the 5pin Blue and connected the Black VLED to the 5pin White?

    License Plate Reverse light

    Actually, I have the 5 pin connector. Connected it to White and Blue. No luck. Perplexed... VLEDs is going to send me a new one since when I jumped it directly off the battery, it had only a little light power.

    License Plate Reverse light

    Ah-ha! I bouth 7-4. Now that makes sense. I knew there had to be a reason. The weird thing is connecting it directly into the factory 7 harness triggered the Trailer connected message on the info screen. So I guess you cannot do it there and need the extra wireing harnesses. I even...

    License Plate Reverse light

    Something's not meshing on my setup. I bought the extra wiring harnesses for trailer to connect it by pigtailing it to the 4 way harness that splits off the 7 way wiring harness - the 2 items mentioned at the beginning of the post. Connected the VLED to the blue and white of the trailer male...

    Voice Recognition - anyone get to send text or search address

    Have not used my Android Auto yet I have a Pixel. I would rather not have to go into Android Auto just to use the navigation that's already on the screen. It's map info is current enough for me. And would much rather deal with the large screen and not have to go into a secondary application. so...

    Mishimoto R&D: RAM 1500 5.7L V8 Catch Can Kit

    agree. The whole thing took me 45 minutes to do but putting on the damn plastic Hemi cover top of the engine took another 20 minutes till I finally realized it was the clamp that was preventing the back left corner from getting the two pegs to see inside the rubber o openings. I couldn't get...

    EXTENDED WARRANTY through Insurance Carrier - Geico. 7 years/100,000 miles for $210! ??

    Definitely do it. I've had several people reply the exact same way you did and each one of them checked it out and said it's legit and they're doing it. The cost would go from $210 up to $300 depending on your local Geico I guess but either way it still much much cheaper

    Voice Recognition - anyone get to send text or search address

    Has anyone been able to get the voice recognition features to work on the 12-in Uconnect? I'm talking specifically about speaking in an address and having it search for it in the navigation and also to reply in a text message play dictating your own message and not having to use their...

    Uconnect Guardian Sirrius WiFi Subscriptions worth it?

    Maps are not really the concern for me, it is more the non-working voice to text for text reply or address searching. THe microphone options is there in Nav, and the Reply by voice recognition is there for Text reply, but neither works. the microphone on the voice search in the navigation is...

    Phone contact photos missing?

    Anyone know how it how long it takes the Uconnect to update the contacts list from any changes made on your phone? I change my home number to a contact called Home. Because I feel stupid asking it to call me at home when I want to call my wife. Duh. Made a new contact on phone and tried to...
