    2020 dual climate issues - driver side no AC - passenger OK

    Over the last week or so I noticed my driver side vents started blowing hot air, no matter what setting the driver’s side is on. It seams like it gradually got worse. Is the the blend door issue. The rear vents are warm as well. No cold air thru the console. I can actuate the airflow...

    H/K audio upgrade - VAST Improvment

    The Alpine setup on my 2020 Laramie was vastly improved withe a set of the dash Infinity Reference REF-3032cfx....snaged these from Crutchfiled with the harness for $48. Took 5 minutes to install and the front stage was improved vastly!!! It blows my mind the OEM speakers on a $60G truck can...

    License Plate Reverse light

    Installed my VLED kit tonight and can't be happier; what a difference. Extra LED completely eliminates and brake light red hue. That was my biggest issue before, if I did not ride the brake light there was "almost" enough illumination. Now I can see my exhaust fumes like I did on my Gen4...

    License Plate Reverse light

    Any ideas on wiring up the VLED to either that cargo light switch or, in my case, the interior camper topper light? It would be very nice to have this light provide extra illumination in the back as needed. I have a deer hauler that could become a lot more usable at night when loading deer or...

    Reverse gear light - very dim compared to Gen4? Any options?

    Am I wrong with my assessment of the inferior reverse light illumination levels on the Gen 5 Laramie Sport compared to the Gen 4 Sport? After backing out a few times down my driveway I had to slow down and pay close attention in order to stay on my blacktop. I never had this issue with my 2018...

    Slow fuel fill

    2020 Ram here, just turned 1200 miles and a nice road trip to break her in...comparing it to my 2018, I can't fill up more than 22 gallons when almost all the way empty. Took me some slow filling today to get to the 394 mils to empty mark. I did a lot of highway driving, so I was hoping the...

    pumping gas problem

    Same here, just picked up a 2020 Hemi and trying to figure out my tank range. I use to be able to get over 420 Miles on my 2018 RAM as I could fill up close to 24 gallons. It took me forever to put 22 gallons in today....I wonder if I can talk my dealer into upgrading to a 30+ gallon tank....

    Any way to increase Bluetooth volume level to match XM Radio?

    I think the "Late Night" mode made a decent volume level boost! Great tip!

    Other camper shells that would fit a 5th gen?

    I have reused my leer cap that was on my 2018. The cap sits about .75-1” higher than it should as the Gen 5 bed sides are a bit taller compared to the Gen 4. Not a big deal for me as I was not ready to order a new one...

    Any way to increase Bluetooth volume level to match XM Radio?

    Brand new 2020 with a stock 12"Connect + Alpine system. Everything works great so far except for a noticeable low audio input level when streaming Bluetooth music from my iPhone. I'm comparing the input level to the XM radio volume and my volume is up all the way on the phone. I also played...

    2020 Stock sound - quieter than Gen 4?

    I do like the quite ride on the 2020, however I really enjoyed the exhaust note on my stock 2018 as well. My Gen 4 had a nice sound regardless of the rpm and especially when floored to pass someone. Any way to add a bit more resonance to the stock system without replacing the whole system?

    iPhone locks while on Bluetooth and Uconnect - can I disable it? SOLVED

    I think I found a setting where I had to enable "voice" dialing when the phone is locked. It doesn't not appear I can keep the phone unlocked if it is paired with the system, however I can now make calls without having to manually unlock the phone (also I'm not getting the message about phone...

    iPhone locks while on Bluetooth and Uconnect - can I disable it? SOLVED

    My iPhone is paired up and works great with the 12” screen. Question: is it possible to over ride the IPhone auto lock-out when the phone is connected to the Bluetooth and Uconnect? If I try to make a hands free call, Siri says “your phone is locked but I don’t advise you to unlock it while...

    Will 2018 topper fit 2019-2020?

    Just to update my original post, so I wound up buying a 2020 RAM 1500. The cap off my 2018 fits! I do notice it sits a bit higher as the new bed is 1” taller. Also it is a hair wider as far as the gap along the bed sides go. It is a very minimal difference; and I’m probably the only one...

    AlfaOBD

    I watched a few YouTube FOB repair videos (older style FOB, though), so I was hopping to put a spacer or some sort, as the contact is probably mechanical, between the rubber pad and the round contact on the circuit board. Option # 2 is to buy a key FOB without the release button and then have...

    Wireless Apple CarPlay - any solid options?

    Just picked up a 2020 Laramie and I did some searching for a wireless CarPlay (which I thought was avail on my 12 Connect). Any options out there that actually work? Thanks!!!

    AlfaOBD

    Before buying the software+hardware combo, can someone please tell me if it possible to disable the "power tailgate release option". In a perfect world, I'd like to disable its functionality on the key FOB (if someone has done it with out the Alpha tool, please let me know how). The only other...

    Disable remote tailgate release on FOB?

    I might Super glue the FOB button Unless it has rubberized coating like on the 4th GEN FOB. [I have not received my truck yet, so I’m not sure how the 5th Gen FOB is designed. ]
