Hello all, troubleshooting set up and widgets. 2023 1500 limited 12.5 screen.
I need to know why the “gauge” widget does not display the information, only sometimes it does, and sometimes it’s not all of them, but most of the time it displays no information, (oil temp, pressure, etc.). Also, if you choose a smaller widget and select gauges, it only has two, not all four, how do you display more of them in the smaller widget?

Not any real help, but just for info. My buddy has a 21 Ram, which would be UC4 not UC5, but he also has heads up display. It took him 5 or 6 attempts setting that up before the settings actually stuck. Until someone comes up with a definite answer, keep trying to add those, and you may get lucky.

I've got a 2023 Limited and it doesn't show the gauge widget at all - how do you get that option to appear on the 'select widgets' page?

- just finding this thread now.

I recently took delivery of a 23’ Laramie in June, in which the gauge widget was working. Recently I brought it into the dealer to have power running boards installed and now the widget for coolant temp, oil temp and oil pressure remain at 0. The trailer brake gauge does display a value when you brake.

Any idea what’s up here?

Gauge widgets are only on some models. You might be able to add with alfaobd.

Mine on my 23 Limited only work part time. They don't work more than they work.

My 23 limited has widgets for the infotainment screen and instrument cluster. Both work fine but I don’t usually use them. on my infotainment screen I usually have CarPlay up and on my instrument cluster they’re in the rotation so I can take a peek if I need to but I don’t have them up all the time.

There are threads about this if you search for them. If you don't already have the various gauge screens available, you'll have to do more than just enable them with AlfaOBD. If you don't, they'll disappear on you shortly after you enable them.

I have the same issue with my Ram 2500 Limited. Did you ever figure this out?

Having the same issue here! Frustrated. Trailer brake widget works all the time, coolant temp works some time, oil temp never works, trans temp never works.
