Tried to have two different dealer update it but there is not even a service bulletin that my VIN would fall into either. Has nothing to with them getting paid oneway or the other.

Wouldn’t .12 be lower than .16?

Needs to be .16 or higher/newer for the update the way I understand it. Supposedly the older version was not having the issues to warrant the recall

I received the over the air update yesterday. I'm now at 20.04.19 like others that have had the recall done.

I got the recall notice (W33) for my truck. Took it into a dealer and they said I did not need the update. My application number was 28.1. Dealer refused to do the update even after I showed them the recall steps from FCA that show anyone with an application version below 34.2 needs the update. I went to a another dealership the next day. Didn’t show them any info related to the recall. Just told them I had got a recall notice and needed an update. My system was updated without issue.
I have attached the FCA recall steps that list info about which systems need the update. Maybe it will help someone.
I’ve also attached pics of my system info before and after the update.

Press and hold the two outer round app buttons at the bottom of you screen, may take 5 seconds or so. My far left is "media" and far right is "backup cam".

I do the same thing, works great, but once my IPhone reaches 100% it keeps wanting to disconnect, and reconnect.

I have been using my Wireless CarPlay since I installed the CarPlay2Air device. Haven't used the built in NAV since and LOVING the Google Maps!
Same here !! I just wish some day RAM would let it use the full screen. Not sure if that's an apple limitation or RAM. I had full screen Car Play in a rental BMW and loved it !! The actual space for car play on the 12 " screen is actually smaller than the 8.4" which sucks

Interesting. I've not heard of this CarPlay2Air device before now. I guess I've been living under a Covid rock or something. Question- quick interwebs search finds LOTS and LOTS of terrible reviews. Are you guys 100% pleased with this device? Any short comings when using it in the Ram? thanks!

I have had mine since day 1 and not a single issue. Very reliable and super easy to update while connected to the truck. The "terrible" reviews could be related to interoperability in other manufacturers vehicle, but the RAM has been excellent!

Awesome, thanks. So which model do I want? There are a bunch on Amz. *edit- looks to be all the same model, just which cars the unit is "certified" to work on.

They all may look similar but not sure they are the same. We bought ours from here...
You can try one from Amazon to save a few bucks and see how it works. If not well, just return it.

So is there any advantage to using the car play over plugging it into the usb-c for goggle maps work Andriod auto? Other than it being wireless thus saving you from plugging your phone in all the time.

All it does is prevent you having to connect with a cable. I, for one, leave my phone in my front right pocket at all times and have no interest in taking it out every time I enter my truck to plug it in. I jump in my truck, it automatically connects and I go on my merry way. It's all about convenience and nothing more.

Thanks for the information. I wasn't sure if it was all about convenience or if it had other capabilities such as being able to play video on the screen, like a YouTube video.
The money we spend on small conveniences. Definitely something I may still look into but the price of the unit just for that one convenience is a tough one for me.

Ask Santa to get you one
If you use CarPlay a lot, this is a game changer and a device you'll never want to live without.
