    Uconnect Box Error and Connected Services Not Working

    I'd open a formal case first using the info in the link below if you want to save your time. Once I did that I stopped getting the runaround. Anyone Seen "Uconnect Box Requires Service"? Stellantis Case Management [email protected] 1-800-826-6632 ext. 3026215 (Gabriel

    Uconnect Box Error and Connected Services Not Working

    Not on the 5th gen from what I have researched on my own before finally getting it replaced at the dealer. Either the Radio unit's Uconnect OS software has to be updated via OTA which requires your TBM to function properly or the dealer has to do it which also requires a TBM that functions...

    Anyone Seen "Uconnect Box Requires Service"?

    Sorry about that I was frustrated for a long time with this issue. They will likely be having to order the Telematics BOX Module as they did mine after the full diagnosis they performed at the dealer which caused me to have to come back in two weeks. There is no Uconnect radio update that will...

    Air conditioning Hack

    I'm thinking of what you said some more here and I wonder if the TSB does something to the system aside from fixing a blend door issue, such as something resulting in keeping the hack from working in some way, while not fully solving the AC issue. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Air conditioning Hack

    Sorry for the topic chatter but with Tapatalk I have a different view than when on the browser. Really tho I don't think the TSB will be acknowledged by a dealer if I'm already at 45 vent temp based on much of what I've read here. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Air conditioning Hack

    What year is your Ram and what are the before TSB and after TSB temps for you and what part of the US are you in? I don't see your signature with specs... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Air conditioning Hack

    I was never in need of the TSB but even at 45ish degree vent temps it still sucks driving in the recent Texas heat with this truck. I never got around to adding the ball valve I bought because of not really needing the TSB, but this weekend was the last straw, I installed the HF hose clamp to...

    Anyone Seen "Uconnect Box Requires Service"?

    Actually I did create a case that helped usher this along and once I did the dealer got moving and I got it handled finally. My customer service rep was a gentlemen named Gabriel who was very helpful and spent time on the phone confirming with me this is a real problem and he'd help fix it, and...

    Uconnect Box Error and Connected Services Not Working

    When you get all these symptoms it means your vehicle can't even poll for an over the air update because these symptoms are due to lack of cloud and satellite connectivity. After my initial trip to the dealer they scanned my vehicle and shrugged it off and said an OTA update will come, I opened...

    Air conditioning Hack

    My temps are at 45 in each center vent but still doesn't cool down enough like my older vehicles, I feel it's the general cabin's lack of insulation between the interior panels and body exterior, plus the hot glass and black dash, and cuz Texas. I do have a ball valve coming in the mail and will...

    Honestly I wonder the same since I had a 2020 and then traded for a 2022 because of the wireless CarPlay and fixed AC, not great cooling in either model in my experience but I live in south Texas so... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I wonder if it's worth trying to keep a flow going instead of just blocking it off, I'm sure it's been posted here before but I keep seeing this type of setup: pic attached

    Does this listing include the PEK threaded barbs or is that another part to add separate?

    Air conditioning Hack

    I've been wondering now about this hack and if it is worth doing but I've been considering the heat performance rating of the valve, after digging I found this Lowe's PDF saying at the adjustable valve performance is rated to 118F, is that correct and enough for the temp of the coolant in the...

    Anyone Seen "Uconnect Box Requires Service"?

    This was a problem for me as soon as i took ownership of my 2022. I had an open case for months with any connected feature not working such as wifi, SoS, etc. I took it in three times to be looked at with the first two being told it will update on its own, and then finally after the third time a...

    Air conditioning Hack

    Ditched and removed the infotainment BS and was going to do the Muzzy hack or HF clamps but decided to go old school like gramps does in his Ram. Against common logic and expected functioning of the AC, I just set the AC temp dial to one click above Max, then adjust the speed of the fan to...
