I have just recently purchased a slightly used 2019 ram 1500 sport, with the UConnect 4 8.4” non nav. I am having compass issues showing me at least 90 degrees off most of the time. If I have the clock setting to GPS it puts me an hour ahead in the next time zone, CarPlay maps puts me 1000km away in same time zone as clock gps
The first time I plugged in my I phone and opened maps it instantly showed me 1000km away from my actual location. This in turn changed my phone to believe it was there in a different time zone with my phone clock changing respectively.
Unplugged and reset my phone. Tried again same thing. Had a friend try their phone, same thing.
So I stopped using CarPlay for the time being and continued on. Figuring it must be a setting somewhere and I’ll figure it out later.
Even better.... after using CarPlay and even after having to reset my phone compass/gps I open mobile order apps on my phone such as Starbucks, and even that app has me located 1000km away. Arghhhh I cant win.
Next I start to notice the time in my truck is an hour forward. (The same time zone CarPlay nav thought I was in) went into settings and deselected “set time with GPS” manually set the time. Next day I changed it back to gps and it worked okay for a few short trips. Then.... bam time is an hour forward again.
Also the compass shows me at least 90 degrees off 50% of the time.
These 3 things have to be related to one setting. I have found multiple threads on these issues individually but no real fixes for it.
I have my dodge booked into dealership for 3 recalls and hopefully they can figure this one out. Unfortunately it’s not for another 2 weeks. It would all depend on who controls that setting. Dodge? UConnect? Or Sirius XM?
