When I touch travel link and weather on my screen, the radar used to work correctly. Now it shows on about half screen for about 10 seconds then goes away. Dealer has checked it and says, nothing wrong. It also will not dial out on my assist button or sos button. Says call could not be completed as dialed. Any suggestions? It was new in August 2020 has almost 12000 miles any help would be appreciated. Thanks Mike

Weather radar never worked on my 2020. Bought it in Aug 2020 as well.

Did you have 5 mos or 12 mos of free Sirius Guardian with the purchase. It's been 6 months so maybe the trial ran out. If not call them up and check.

Hello
I been through this before with other brands and FCA.
Please make an appointment at another dealer. But call Customer Care first and save all of your documentation.
it might be a simple flash or a reset. Good Luck.

Thanks, This is the second dealership that I have been to with this problem. The deerskin in Prattville still has a ticket open for this problem when I go back. Maybe they can fix it this time.

Everyone has this problem, I don't believe I heard from one 12" Uconnect owner with this working properly, search the forum.

Yes I did contact Sirius and they said that my subscription is still active and that everything looked good on their end. It will come on sometime when you first turn this on but after about 10 or 15 seconds it goes blank.

I tried going through sirius. They said they saw an issue and sent a refresh signal, which was supposed to fix it. Still never worked, so gave up on it.

I talked with Ram customer service and they started a Case number on it. They said that they will get with the dealer and get back with me when they figure out a solution to the problem. I guess i will find out if later as to what happens. I will repost on here if I hear back from Ram customer service.

Update...I drove my truck yesterday and the whole system froze up. No radio, xm, fm or am. No sound ....screen would not respond. Assist button did not work. I pulled over and turned the truck off. Waited about 5 minutes and restarted...everything went back to working. Puzzled at WTF is going on.

Ha- they will get back to you with a solution... that's a laugh. They have no solution. There is no solution.

I have all the services still that came with the truck, (Guardian, Travel link, Traffic, Uconnect, whatever) and I pay for the hotspot and the Radar still sucks.... It never updates, I'm driving through a rainstorm and nothing is on the map. The radio works fine, GPS works, this has something to do with the half baked service. The Uconnect is also somewhat unreliable, I can remote start/unlock/lock from the phone but the location finder never works. I'll mention this when they come crying for me to renew...

>>>Hello Ramcares, any comments on this matter?<<<
