    Stuck With Poor Radio Antenna

    The AM radio reception on my 2020 Ram 1500 is not very good, especially for marginal stations. I called the parts department to ask if there was a "real" antenna I could add and was told the radio did not have a conventional radio antenna receptacle. Too bad. I'd like to run a real rod...

    Anyone have a ham radio installed in their 5th generation Ram?

    I'm putting a Yaesu FT857D under the passenger seat on the left side. Will add an antenna tuner there as well. For a VHF/UHF antenna I'm using the mount described above. For HF I'm planning to use my ancient Hi-Q antenna. It's not in yet and I expect it to be interesting. I had an HF...

    Ram Boxes good or bad

    I had them on my 2016 and have them on my 2020. It's a major reason I bought Ram. Convenient, useful. Another option for carrying many items that aren't dumped into the bed or put in the back of the cab.

    Tablet And Android Auto

    I have a Samsung tablet without data plan. When I connect it via USB, Android Auto tries to load an app on the tablet. The manual talks about a phone with data plan. My tablet has no data plan so I don't understand what I'm going to get by connecting it via Android Auto. Will Android Auto...

    Radio Loud After Bluetooth

    When playing audio book via my tablet through Bluetooth, I have the volume up high on both the tablet and the truck audio in order to hear it. When I restart the truck, the audio automatically switches from the Bluetooth to an AM radio station and comes on at extremely high volume. I try to...

    USB Song Starts Over

    When I start the truck the song that was playing from the USB2 stick picks up where it left off. After it plays for a while, it will start over at the beginning of the song. It's not the end of the world, but it's annoying. Are there any fixes or similar reports?
