New icon appeared. Shopping, games, geocaching

[-RotorDemon-]

Noticed this yesterday as I hopped into the truck. Upper center left. Radio must have updated overnight. Anyone else see this yet?

I thinking that's something updated from Apple CarPlay..must be that new ChatGTP AI integration!
(Joking, that's only on the newest iPhones).

What version of software does your radio show?

I’ll have to go check when I get off from work. I’ll post it up here.

didn't get into it too much because it went away after truck started to move.

Attached.

Ok, thanks. That’s not a “new” version, it’s been around for a long time. Not that I would know - my truck has been stuck on T25.51 for the past year+.
But it’s the first I’ve seen of geocaching and games. Strange.

Mine appeared the same time as this: kinda weird that I’m getting updates on the 12.1 that I put in in place of the original 8.4. The same day this happened I lost my performance and off road pages too.

I get the same thing. Clicked once and it appears like all that opens is advertisements trying to get you to purchases something like SiriusXM,

 

[Dewey]

I see the advertising too after selecting the new icon I’ve never seen at the top left of my screen.

 

[RebelliousGt]

I’ve just noticed the same crap on my this past week, so pissed off that I pay $11 a month for siriusxm and now I’m receiving advertising that’s bothering me, abcdefu

 

[HemiDude]

Yes, more annoying bulls**t from the people who lose sleep trying to think of new ways to make technology less useful

I also noticed this on Monday morning. With all the glitches the UC5 seems to have, why would they focus on this load of crap? I have purchased Ram brand since 2006. Several 1500's and 1 2500 diesel. I am really considering a new brand for the next truck I purchase.

Because advertising earns money, fixing glitches costs money.

 

[MarPar]

Glad to hear Im not the only one with this crap.

It is sad we now have ads on our truck screens

 

[boogielander]

it's not that bad. after you tap on it and move on to other screens it won't show up to bother you again. that icon will be gone too.

I had to go to the apps page to find it.

The icon is there all the time on mine. Tried clearing multiple times and next power cycle it’s back again.

hmm that's a first.
mine goes away after I tapped it and tapped geocaching. then i hit "home" to look at my navi and it went away after. next power cycle didn't bring it back

I also get the icon after every power cycle. I have the 8.4” and it replaces the current song on the upper task bar. I have to click it and then exit the “new” app to get back to normal. So annoying!
