I don’t think Uconnect has anything to do with your blinds spot monitors. That’s a separate issue and your dealer needs to look at it.

Well S26.17 just updated yesterday so we’ll see how it does. Was excited that the performance pages appeared again (enabled with alfaobd a while back) and this time they disappeared while the app was open and I was looking through the screens less than 2 mins after the update. Not complaining, I know they are not supposed to be there but they are pretty cool.

Preformance pages are loaded and work fine on the 22s. Problem is Ram doesn't want to give you access so it remove the app (the radios are running Android)
If you were able to kill the connection to Ram the pages would stay and work normal.

Figured it was something like that. Maybe someone someday will figure a way to make it stick.

Maybe, maybe not, but the settings for it are in the U Connect and theres no other way to control them. Have dealer appt after holiday

The TSB states for vehicle that have the 24.13/24.18, as long as you're between the 24.13/24.18 with the 26.17, you should be fine.

But what if I have 26.15? Your reply isn't quite clear on if I have 26.15 if I 'qualify' for the automatic update

Speaking of these updates not fixing stuff, I bought mine in June 22. Whatever that version was, things worked great. After the first updated after that, the headlights quit turning (limited) and the forward/reverse auto braking quit working, and other things like that. Yesterday I got the latest update, and nothing is fixed. I'll take it to the dealer when I get a minute, maybe they can figure it out.
My theory, is that the settings, even tho they show "ON" in settings were disabled somehow and are stuck in that state. I posted in another thread the multitude of issues I'm having.
Once I get it back from the dealer hopefully I'll have a happy update

I'm in Canada and lost the Air Intake Temperature Gauge with the update too.

I understand that updates often fix issues, but with this update they actually REMOVED functionality... it is just a simple gauge, but I'm pretty pissed off that RAM can remove functionality that has been there for just over a year already.

@RamCares is there going to be a new update soon restoring the air intake gauge?

Two questions,

Where can I check the current version on my truck? I looked through the settings, but didn't see this.

Will this update allow 2019 ram 1500 limited use the full 12" display for android auto/carplay?

Thanks!

S26.17 still doesn't fix the lower buttons whiting out when pressing home. Does anyone check the code at Uconnect? Full screen Carplay only works if you toggle between media and carplay. They cant code in a fullscreen button? How much time do engineers spend testing this before sending it out?

This thread applies to trucks with the newer Uconnect5. If you have a 2019, then your software will be different (as it is Uconnect4).

Well my heated seat/wheel icons stayed since last night. That’s a plus but we shall see. Last update before this they disappeared again a day later.🤨

Haven’t noticed anything else different so far.

These have finally stayed at every start up now so I’m pleased to finally have that fixed. I didn’t have problems with CarPlay connecting before but now it seems to struggle connecting at times but does eventually. Typical update these days…….fix one thing and screw something else up that was working just fine before.🙄

Hello,

How long ago did you get the 26.17? We recommend waiting a few days after the update

Update was Sunday Morning
I like how you can get a half screen with gauges. I l looked on mine (rebel with offroad pages) and don’t have an option for gauges configured like that only a half screen for pitch and roll which is pretty useless.
