Well.... none of this works for me so far. Apple Watch app opens but never responds. Alexa tells me I don’t have any vehicles with connected services. It’s 2019. My truck is a 2019. I’ve accepted that I’m probably never going to have a jet pack, but I’d really like to start my truck on a cold morning while I’m still in the shower. Like I could on my 14 Ram and my 15 Grand Cherokee. And it shouldn’t cost $15 a month for Uconnect Access or $250 a year for SiriusXM Guardian. It should be complimentary with the $70,000 truck I just bought!!!

Love my truck. Rant over

By the way, that’s a badass Ram you have there. Looks just like mine!

Started mine in the driveway from Vienna, Austria last Friday.

80k Audi and a 105k BMW. Neither have or had remote start. Price has nothing to do with it.

Sure it does, he paid for a truck that DOES have it and it doesn't work as advertised.

Point being, all of these manufacturers suck and the price has nothing to do with it. Saying that it's a 70k truck and shouldn't have issues is nonsense. If I paid $1, I'd still be ticked if I bought one thing and got another (of which I'm still dealing with myself). I've been disappointed in just about every new vehicle I've purchased, in all price ranges. But my expectations have always been the same. I want to get what I bought, regardless of how much I paid for it.

Has anyone had any luck using the Apple Watch app?

Used it today to start the truck. I use the "Uconnect" app on my iphone and Apple Watch (or iWatch as my friends like to call it ), and they work as described 99% of the time.

Note: This is NOT the Uconnect Access app.

I was referring to advertised features that already worked on my previous vehicles, but have not yet worked with my new truck. And yes, I was griping about the subscription fees for these services. I think you may have misunderstood, or perhaps I did not properly articulate my position.

I JUST discovered through another post that the 19 Rams use a different Alexa skill called RAM and I successfully started my truck!!! Hooray!!!
