Pretty much. There are some tweaks, but they don't help much. I finally gave up on it, and went Android Auto with Google maps.

Ive been using my tomtom maps more and more, saves my phone a lot of juice. Honestly my only two gripes are that updating it is cumbersome and I haven’t successfully done it yet. Also that i cant change or alter my destination while driving. There is no override or passenger interaction allowance or anything ive found.

I used Garmin products before navigation became integrated, so I guess, I've never been a Tom Tom fan. I had used the integrated navigation in my last three vehicles, but this setup in the Ram didn't impress me. I could never get it to my liking. I had never used Android Auto until this vehicle.
The customizations just seemed lacking, and the GUI reminded me of an older computer operating system. Not a modern look to it. I could do a lot more with the Garmin that I've missed for a long time. The customized vehicles and sounds were a hobby. Changing the location pointer to my actual vehicle and color entertained me. The wiring clutter associated with the external GPS units was a nuisance, so I was excited about integrated nav and gave up the Garmin.

Sure you can, have a read here. Any map, full screen.
This guy claims he is able to get full screen Android Auto on his 2023 TRX. He still hasn't answered my question about which Carlinkit AI Box he is using. I suppose I could ask Carlinkit support, but I wanted to ask here first to see if anyone has tried the Carlinkit AI Box with UConnect 5.

She is here. Finally! Looks like mine, beautiful truck! Alf Mabrouk! funny to see it without the rear windows tinted. Here in the USA the rear is always factory tinted.
