RAMCARES, any update on full screen Android Auto?

Maybe I'm in the minority, but I don't see what's so special about wireless AA/CP. Especially if the vehicle doesn't also have wireless charging. And wireless charging sucks even if it does have it. Too thick a case? Doesn't work. Not aligned perfectly, doesn't work. Even when it does work it's slow and creates a ton of heat.

I used to think the same thing but I have a hell of a time keeping a phone that's charging ports and/or cables work consistently and since I was mostly only plugging in for AA and not to charge adding a wireless dongle has saved me a lot of headache and finally gave me an idea to ask my wife for for Christmas. Once you have it, it's pretty handy (but it can be annoying when there is more than one device paired wirelessly).

Depends on the year. I can't remember if wireless started in 2022 or 2023 trucks, but it's definitely not in 2021 and older.

22's. Mine has wireless AA and wireless charging. Both very nice options.

Wireless AA became standard with the UC5 modules which came out with the 22+ trucks.

It amazes me they haven't fixed or updated this yet, probably will never see it now. I was hoping for an OTA update, but been disappointed for almost a year now. It appears Ram doesn't care what owners are asking for.

I just started messing with AA and I like it, but definitely needs full screen, otherwise I will likely not use it.

They'll screw us over like they did with the 8.4. You can get the updated version of UConnect in the new 2025 Ram.

Does the uconnect5 display fullscreen?

Does the uconnect5 display fullscreen?

It probably will, in a future model year. Just like they didn't release a software update to enable AA/CP on the 8.4 until 2018. For 2017 and prior years, well, you just have to buy a 2018 truck for that feature.
