If you guys have the 12.1" screen there seems to be a known issue with the remote commands not working after the truck is turned off for more than 30-60 minutes.
There is another thread here: https://5thgenrams.com/community/threads/uconnect-remote-app-commands-not-working-after-a-while
Unfortunately no real permanent fixes yet.
Appreciate any updates you can share!
Mine work fine no matter how long the car sits. They released a new app a few days ago and that took care of it for me.

I've never had a problem with remote start even after sitting overnight or for 8-10 hours while I'm at work.

Both of you have the 12.1 and no issues, interesting.
My issue is definitely more than just the phone app not working, logging in via mopar.com also fails. Also my mileage has never updated here.

Your mileage will never update. That isn't supported yet. Supposed to be coming in a future update. Also mine did the same at one point. I ended up taking of the negative wire on my truck for around an hour. When I put it back on the radio reset itself and reactivated after a period of time. At that point everything started working except the app. Once the new app was released it all works as expected.

Is the new app you are referring to Uconnect or Mopar and what is the release date? I want to download it to see if it resolves my remote start...issues.

I'm using an iPhone. That app was updated on the 13th of this month. Not sure about Android if that is what you're using.

Ahh. Maybe that's why. I am using an Android and latest update is November 15th. Thanks for the info.

For some reason the iPhone apps always update before the Android apps. I would keep my eye open though for an Android update sometime in the next month would be my guess.

I hate the Android but it's a free work phone so I guess I cant complain. iPhone is always ahead.

3.3.1 for Android is dated 11/15/18. That's almost a month before the iPhone version.

It's also the version that I have on my Note 8 and I've never had an issue with it working correctly.

I'll give it a go. My truck went into the shop then so I havent been able to try it since. I'll test it when I pick up the truck later this week.

Thanks TooTall. I am so sick of Sirius and Ram pointing the finger at each other about the issues with this app. Its BS. Someone needs to step up.and fix it already. We paid good money for the Uconnect and its unacceptable that the feature doesn't work consistently.
