I was looking for this on my '13 yesterday. Don't think I have that option. :-(
To my knowledge it's on the 2015+ RA4 8.4NA radios , I have a 15 radio in my 14 Ram and I have 6 color schemes with different backgrounds and album art as well .

You can bring it up when going faster, it just shuts off after a few seconds. It's handy for checking the trailer hookup. I placed the rear camera shortcut on the bottom bar to make it easy to get to.

On my '12, there is a button labeled "replay" on the satellite radio screen. Not sure if it on the '13+ or not....

I didnt see this mentioned before, but didnt quite make it through the whole thread.

If you turn off the engine with the trans is still in drive the computer will automatically put the truck in park.

If you have the hemi tick, you can use it as a metronome

If you use the Uconnect access app on 2012 and newer models, there is now a screen that tells you your fuel level, mileage and oil life remaining. Kinda cool...

Those new additions are only applicable to 16+.

You are right. I thought for some reason it was 2012+ but I just double checked and confirm it is 2016+...

Is there a way to turn on the GPS on my 8.4" monitor without giving the dealership $600???

Mfr installed GPSs have been overpriced from The Beginning. Not only are they overpriced from The Beginning, but they also want most of a leg to update it to Today.

While I do find a vehicle integrated Nav System generally superior in funtionality, smartphone apps are generally way more intuitive, accurate and (most importantly) up-to-date. AND THEY DO NOT COST ANYTHI?nG EXTRA!!! (other than. perhaps, a convenient way to view them on a solo trip, or - for the dino - the cost to join the 21st century).

I know one Ramforum member has developed and produced at holder that fits in a stock center console, but I am a Big Fan of Scosche magnetic mounts. I have a semi-permanent mount in my truck, and a "vent" mound that I take when traveling to use on rentals. Works great. No additional cost, current maps, the only thing you might be giving up is screen size. But I would rather have a smaller, accurate, FREE picture than a LARGE USED-TO-BE-RIGHT one...

Sometimes in my 16, when a XM channel is playing, if you click the same station again, something happens with the song. Idk if it restarts or rewinds or what the hell happens but something happens. Does anyone know? Lol it's only happen to me a few times by accident and of course when I try to do it again it doesn't "reclick". I have the larger screen.
