    Navigation Subscription

    To me navigation subscription is totally worth it now that I have used it for a while. Works reliably, maps look great (accurate gas prices as well), and traffic updates are very accurate at least where I live (Tampa, FL). Much prefer this over google and apple offerings (especially hate google...

    Uconnect 5 update solved wireless carplay interference Issue

    Carplay is still not playing nice (to put it nicely) with my 2022 Limited. A while back I have switched to using built in nav and paying for traffic and weather - that has been working great. However, my son recently set up his own profile and was using carplay for couple of days. After I...

    What are the services that will expire?

    For me traffic updates (and weather) did not work at the beginning of trial period but after few softare updates (pushed over air that popped up for me to apply) it started working and looked very nice. Then after I let it expire (did not sign up right after trial was over) obviosuly it stopped...

    What are the services that will expire?

    I agree maps hardy ever change in most of the areas I've used as well so that would not be the reason to subscribe in my case. What is important to me however is to get traffic updates when using built in navigation instead of having to use google or apple apps for it. That is why I decided to...

    What are the services that will expire?

    Sure someone will always track you but hopefully not google (at least not on Apple iphone if you don't even install google maps or any of their other apps and don't provide your google login credentials on iphone). As far as on desktops I use vpn to hide my location, and startpage and duckduckgo...

    What are the services that will expire?

    There is one more big reason I decided to renew. For some reason the uconnect bug where after I set navigation route with carplay and then lose that route every time I put the car in reverse - that infuriating bug is still there for me and it happens every time so I have to renter navigation...

    What are the services that will expire?

    Maps on our phones get updated for 'free' only if we consider google tracking us in return for that 'freedom' ok. I know most people do and that's fine and easy default because everyone has a phone, but I personally am willing to pay some money to reduce the chance of google being in every area...

    What are the services that will expire?

    Of course - but I prefer that someone to not be google. I know you can't always avoid google no matter what you try if you are online, but I moved from Android to Apple phone for this same reason and this is another step in the direction to at least make it less likely google is tracking me. By...

    What are the services that will expire?

    I let mine expire a few weeks ago as well on my 2022 Limited but will probably renew it after all. I really like the built in navigation (after traffic updates finally started working it was really nice and I did not see any disadvantages using it vs google or apple maps). I hate google enough...

    2022 Uconnect 5 Traffic and Weather

    Don't give up. I had all kinds of issues with uconnect but after the last over-the-air update was installed (couple of months ago at this point) I finally did the full factory reset and things are much better. Soon after I did that reset traffic and weaterh started working and have been working...

    Black screen Cycling on and off

    I am noticing that everything has been working much better (without so many glitches) when I don't use Apple carplay and especially if I don't run any carplay navigation apps (Apple, Google, or Waze - does not seem to matter). If I set Apple careplay screen to only show app icons (ie instead of...

    2022 Uconnect 5 Traffic and Weather

    I did the factory reset for the first time after last software update was pushed over the air. Trafic and weather did not start working immediately for me after that but have been working fine for the last couple of weeks or so, and the navigation app looks great when it's all working. Also, I'm...

    Change color of truck in 360 view?

    Good for you. For me few things are starting to work better. For example built in NAV traffic and weather have been working fine over the last week or so (but never before). One bug that still drives me insane is when I'm in park and set the navigation (ie still in my garage), after I put it in...

    Change color of truck in 360 view?

    It has to be a joke becauses some of the Uconnect basic functionality is still very badly broken (see other threads if you don't believe it) so I doubt they have time to add trivial stuff like this. But if they do it only means they are wasting time on irrelevant stuff and have no clue how to...

    UConnect 5 12" - Worth getting with possible issues?

    If you set the navigation route (i.e. via carplay) while in park (ie in garage before backing out), and then put the truck in reverse, and than to drive it does not drop the navigation route for you? It does that to me every time (regardless whether I use Google or Apple navigation via carplay -...

    UConnect 5 12" - Worth getting with possible issues?

    Some issues already seem to have gotten fixed (I've had the new 2022 Limited for about 6 months). I used to get a black screen once in a while but not any longer after the latest update few weeks ago (and full reset to factory setting after that update). Also, traffic and weather are now...

    UConnect 5 12" - Worth getting with possible issues?

    I would still get the 12" if I was buying again because it does look awesome for the most part and the issues while surpising and annoying should definitely be possible to fix (and not too hard) - things like certain settings/preferences getting occasionally reset for no good reason, and...

    UConnect 5 12" - Fails to turn on

    I had that happen several times on my new 22 Limited (about 6 months old now). After the last update was applied (I had several so far and each downloaed over air and automatically popped up prompting me to update) I reset everything to factory settings (somewhere in menus) and fortunatelly it...

    2022 Uconnect 5 Traffic and Weather

    For whatever is worth, my traffic and weather suddenly started working again this weekend (for the very first time since I bought the truck both worked on 2 consecutive days).
