I wouldn't add anything to get nav on the uConnect system. Just use Google Maps. Far superior product. I never used Nav in my 18 Ram, and don't intend to in my 22 either. If I could have ordered the 12" uConnect 5 with everything except Nav, I would have. Since I couldn't, I'll just ignore it.

Your 2019 should have Car Play. But it's not wireless Car Play so you'll need to plug your phone in to use it.

If you want to upgrade to factory nav you'll need to upgrade your infotainment system to the 8.4" Nav system or the 12.1" system. It's an easy swap, but those units are expensive.

But for that I need CarPlay right ? My truck does not have it .
Under your screen, in center console, front, there should be (2) USB Ports. Plug in your I phone/Android into one of those USB's and Carplay/Android Auto (wateva they call it I have an I phone) should pop up in the U connect screen. depending upon your I phone and IOS, U may have to insure that SIRI is active on your phone, as U need SIRI working for Carplay to work. Also, on your phone, insure "Maps" is turned on, and the system should read your phone and turn on/initiate Carplay, and you should see the ICON on the lower ICON screen. On MY 19,. Carplay Icon lower 2nd from the right ICON, says Carplay.
