    2019 1500 limited Harman Kardon sub issues

    I've managed to improve the bass a bit in my truck (Laramie, 8.4" 4C Nav, HK stereo). First I packed some shipping blankets behind the rear passenger seat over the sub which helped mute it a bit, but not enough. The bass has a strong boost in the mid-bass frequency range (maybe 60Hz - not sure...

    2019 1500 limited Harman Kardon sub issues

    Mine sounds exactly like you described, and the EQ basically has very little effect. Horrible sounding.

    Anyone else unimpressed with the stereo in the 2019 RAM???

    I just got a Laramie with HK, and the bass is definitely, as you put it, boomy. Muddy without any definition. I've also lowered the bass via EQ significantly, but it's still annoying. All I can think is it has a ported subwoofer and is tuned for the style of "music" where that type of bass is...

    Modifying steering wheel radio control action?

    Yes it will, but that's not the question. To get to a preset just prior to the one playing you'd have to press the center button many times, but if the up/down buttons addressed the presets it's one down. The up/down as search is useless. Should drive presets for radio and Sirius the same.

    Modifying steering wheel radio control action?

    I have a 2019 Laramie 1500 with 8.4 Uconnect 4C Nav. The left-side upper/lower radio controls on the back of the steering wheel do a seek when listening to the Radio, but I'd like them to traverse to the next/previous preset instead. Radio station seek is pretty much useless for me as I know...

    Replacing tow mirrors with standard

    Hi. I'm in the market to purchase a lightly used 5th gen 1500, and one of the features I want is the overhead-view when backing up which is not available with tow mirrors. I've seen several trucks for sale which would otherwise meet my needs except they had tow mirrors. Does anyone know if...

    Upper Dash Panel Replaced!

    I had thought about replacing both the heater core and evaporator, but I'm not having any problems with either one so I let them be. After doing the dash replacment I think I can pull it again in about an hour, and there's enough stories about leaky replacement heater cores out there that I...

    Upper Dash Panel Replaced!

    I recently completed the replacement of the upper dash on my truck and I wanted to share a few photos. While I've read about people replacing the upper dash panel without completely pulling the dash from the truck I don't see how that's really possible and certainly would be much more...
