    Android Auto won't connect- 12" radio

    My experience is the USB type A connectors are flaky with my phone pixel 2 and pixel 4. Using a USB type C connector I've had no issues.

    SXM Guardian worth it or not? Pro’s/Con’s

    I agree completely. If it were 9.99 a month it's a no brainier. As it's priced today I'll likely cancel my sub April thru November. Might be different if the vehicle Heath reports were working, but for owners of the 12" it's not right now. Either the price should be lower or it should offer...

    SXM Guardian worth it or not? Pro’s/Con’s

    Dude, relax. What I meant is it's the only way to start your truck with an app using the stock remote start we have. Of course there are 3rd party options, but a lot of them are janky and cause problems with the stock equipment or make you do dumb things like carry two fobs. Messing with the...

    SXM Guardian worth it or not? Pro’s/Con’s

    No, it's not worth what they charge. But it's the only way to start your truck with an app. A lot of us in cold climates will pay to be able to do that in the winter. You've got a trial though so you can see for yourself.

    Gator EFX Hard Fold cover - review

    On my last truck I went through a couple covers, First was a Truxedo rolltop. Pretty good cover, but kinda a pain to get tight each time I opened and closed it. Loved the fact that they're based out of Yankton, SD where I spent a lot of time fishing and camping. After a couple years the...

    Spray in bed liner

    Line-X has had color match for at least 6 years now, as it was an option when I got my '13 done. I just can't justify the double in price when my bed is covered 95% of the time, and black and blue look good together anyway. It probably varies by installer though, because it's a franchise...

    Owners w/12in screen, are you REQUIRED to renew with a premium sirius pkg?

    Frustration? People think it looks cool... and it does. But it's missing features like the vehicle health report. Sirius XM Travel Link is wonky and 'forgets' things for a while like your favorite teams. Voice searches are less reliable than my 13 was, and my 13 had features I used all the...

    Spray in bed liner

    As I understand it Line-X is essentially an instant cure, and rather difficult to apply. So a good applicator is a must. From the marketing on their site it sounds like their product is easier and cheaper to apply, and also ships and stores better. I did my research last time around, and...

    Running boards

    I'm happy with the ICI Magnum steps I put on. I've never liked the look of full boards or tubes much, but I saw these on a jeep when I was buying this truck, and really liked the look. Pretty simple install, especially with the studs already in place on the truck.

    A. C. Performance

    Outside temp was reading as 103 today, official current temp in my area is 96. No issues cooling. Air blows cold, quickly. If it can handle this, there's a problem with a truck struggling at 86. It's not systemic to Rams. '19 Laramie without the sunroof.

    Oil change?

    I do it myself unless it absolutely has to be done and the weather simply won't let me do it. Too many bad experiences in the past with either quicklube places or dealers. There is a local mobile oil change dude who I've considered though. I ran Valvoline full-synthetic (not modern engine)...

    Replying with Voice to text messages on 2019 Ram 1500 12" screen

    Yep, no tab for the health report in the app, and the Mopar site tells us our vehicles aren't capable of vehicle health reports. When it's stated as a feature of the SiriusXM Guardian service. FCA is telling people to contact SiriusXM about this and closing tickets. My main point here is the...

    Replying with Voice to text messages on 2019 Ram 1500 12" screen

    Regardless of this particular issue, the system *is* broken. We are supposed to have vehicle health reports, as it is advertised as part of sirius XM Gaurdian. We do not. Simple voice queries such as searching for radio stations are very inconsistent in my experience. Search from within...

    Replying with Voice to text messages on 2019 Ram 1500 12" screen

    Then why is there a button for the VR text right on the screen that doesn't work? Decoration? Sorry, if a button says I can do one thing, and it doesn't work that way, it's broken even if the product manager insists that he meant for it to be that way. Even if this is intentional, people...

    Replying with Voice to text messages on 2019 Ram 1500 12" screen

    Uconnect can, and other hardware does send VR text messages via BT. In my 2013 with the 8.4 it worked fine. There is a button for it on the 12", it just does not work. The idea that if you do it a different way using a different connection method makes up for broken functionality is...

    Bonus Drive check arrived

    Never used it, it's why I asked the question. If someone wants to just give me 250 bucks I have to figure there's a catch or they want something from me.

    So are you basically just selling your information for 'extended warranty' calls for the duration of your phone number?

    Should I buy Ram?

    I had a '94 regular cab / short box 4x2 from 94-2002 A 2006 Quad cab Big Horn 4x4 from 07-13 A 2013 Crew cab Big Horn 4x4 from 13-19 and am now driving a 2019 Crew Cab Laramie 4x4. I keep my trucks for a few years. The only problem with the 94 was it was not a 4x4. The 5.9 in that thing was...

    What have they done to stop the rot???

    What was your last Ram? 3rd Gen definitely had a problem specifically with the rear quarters where water would pool between the inner and outer panel, this was a design flaw. My 06 started to bubble and rust at the 3 or 4 year mark. My 2013 was rust free up to the day I traded it in last...

    Question about replacing 8.4 UConnect

    What does it do to improve it? Is the display in the gauge panel actually replaced by the new head unit? I thought they were separately controlled, because when my UConnect reboots randomly I've never lost the gauge panel.

    Question about replacing 8.4 UConnect

    Can anyone who has replaced their 8.4 UConnect tell me how the factory climate controls work with the new system? I've tried searching but can't seem to find what I'm looking for. I'm looking at a Kenwood or Pioneer unit as a replacement. (That 'tesla-like' display looks cool, but I am...

    2014 Custom Seat Covers?

    They're neoprene. Same stuff they make wetsuits out of. It's a springy cloth feel. Because it's very elastic, you get a very nice fit. I had them on my Nissan, and I liked them, no issues being too hot or cold, but they would watermark like a SOB. Cleaned easily though.
