    Wireless CarPlay Dongle

    After a couple of months with Ottocast, I am generally happy with it. A few quirks, so it isn't perfect. Biggest issue...after last iOS update (16.4.1) that I installed last week, Carplay froze on screen a couple of times and I had to disconnect it and hard wire my phone. Hope that improves...

    Wireless CarPlay Dongle

    Update after more than a month...Ottocast has been great. I have figured out one annoying quirk: - don't leave truck idling/take phone with you and lose BT connection...if that happens, it is almost impossible to re-connect. Leave the phone behind. Or if you need your phone, turn off engine.

    Wireless CarPlay Dongle

    Ottocast worked like a charm the last few days. Thanks for the recommendation.

    Wireless CarPlay Dongle

    I just spent an afternoon with the Otterbox. After some juggling around with Bluetooth connections for ten minutes (was thinking of packing it up and returning it), I finally got it connected. Then the problem was getting sound from anything in Apple Music I was playing. On my phone and...

    Wireless CarPlay Dongle

    Ha, that is a tough one (the post at the bottom of the previous page)! I assume the bottom left category for 2018-2023? But any Amazon product w 22% one star ratings is probably something to skip.

    Wireless CarPlay Dongle

    Thanks...looking for something on my 2021 1500 Limited. $69 would have been great, but $109 if it works isn't a big amount to risk (of course can return it).

    Inconsistent sound balance on left side

    Darn....radio replaced today, but didn't fix problem. Dealer thinks there must be a wiring issue. Bringing it back in a couple of weeks. Dealer will need truck for a few days.

    Inconsistent sound balance on left side

    Thanks - as I said in the original post, I tried adjusting surround sound and it had no effect. Took it to dealership the other day, and they called me later and said that they had fixed it under TSB 08-036-22. I was skeptical about that, since that TSB doesn't exactly address my issue, but I...

    Inconsistent sound balance on left side

    Taking my 2021 Limited to the dealership tomorrow after putting up with 15 months of an irritating audio thing...on podcasts, music, Sirius (while I had it) and radio, about 70% of the time the left side speakers are barely putting out volume. I have played with all the settings...surround...

    Losing Driver’s side sound - 12” Uconnect issues

    @HeliPilot This has been the only frustrating issue with my '21...it has bugged me since I picked up the truck in March, and I haven't seen a thread about it. Just drove home tonight and several times the volume on the driver side went out....I could only hear music or podcast volume from...

    Apple Play - Where Did You Go?

    Try a different USB connection cord. They are finicky. I had that problem with a cord that I thought was fine, but I swapped it out, and now all good.

    Static - '21 Ram Rebel 19 Speaker Harmon Cardon Premium Sound

    See this page in this TRX forum...others got the same answer as you, and someone from Ram reached out. It seemed that some were able to get it resolved even after getting rejected. Frustrating! https://www.ram-trx.com/threads/hk-speaker-issues.2434/page-5

    Static - '21 Ram Rebel 19 Speaker Harmon Cardon Premium Sound

    Hopefully these issues (mine is sound only out of right speakers on an unpredictable basis) will get fixed in next firmware update.

    Sirius-MPH-Speaker Issues

    Just drove to store, no iPhone attached, and all was good with Sirius. Got back in truck after shopping, same no-iPhone setup, and all Sirius sound was out of right side on the drive home! I'm convinced this is going to frustrate me for the next few years!

    Sirius-MPH-Speaker Issues

    Ha, I know I am talking to myself in this thread,, but as suddenly as my "right side speaker only" problem arrived, it seems to have disappeared. Knocking on wood, but just finished a 3-hour drive with zero problems from the UConnect/speakers. Weird...must be some sort of software gremlin that...

    Sirius-MPH-Speaker Issues

    My Sirius/Speed Limit glitch has happened again. I need to remember what sequence of things I have done that has caused it...something related to using my iPhone/Carplay and connecting my phone via USB. I "fixed" it by pulling over and re-starting the truck. Meanwhile, another glitch has...

    Sirius-MPH-Speaker Issues

    Thanks. Sure enough, I took the truck out this morning and everything was back to normal. I will blame the satellites...the same time my Sirius and speed limit weren't working, my Apple navigation on Carplay had the location of my truck at least a half mile from where I was. I was driving US...

    Sirius-MPH-Speaker Issues

    Edited title to include additional problem. Sorry I did search but didn't find an answer. My Sirius "free" period seemed to expire today...picked up my 2021 Limited at end of March. This afternoon I noticed 1) no Sirius, and 2) no "speed limit" in my HUD. Four months seems to be a weird...

    Any Truck Covers USA (vs maybe Retrax Pro) opinions?

    I gave the cover a slight tug after I took the picture and it closed the gap that is visible in the picture. Doesn't seem like it will be a big deal for me.
