    SLT upgrade to navigation...whats all needed?

    FWIW my 2019 Warlock came with the UAS (8.4 screen without the navigation). I didn't have a smart phone at the time and wanted the navigation so I swapped out the UAS for the UAQ (the unit that has the navigation built in). I have to say I was very disappointed in the way the navigation works...

    Start X remote start users???

    Same here. Just turn the key fob to the run position, step on the brake and then put it in drive. Never had a problem with it. The only problem I have with it is that the range isn't all that great. I've talked to a few guys that have the factory remote start, and their range doesn't really seem...

    Apple car play plug jn

    For a wireless Android Auto adapter I've used the Motorola MA1 for about three years now. It's easy to set up and works pretty well although it does have an occasional glitch. When it acts up, which is very seldom, I just unplug it, plug my phone back in to the USB plug, and once the Android...

    Insurance premiums

    Another thing in dealing with insurance companies is that a lot of times they will do everything they can to get out of paying a claim. A friend of mine used to work as an investigator for insurance companies and he was telling me how they will frequently find some small discrepency with...

    Insurance premiums

    $407 for six months with Geico. Had been with Allstate for years, but the rates were going through the roof. Finally checked with Geico and ended up with better coverage for about one third the cost.

    DeeZee bumper step

    My problem with trying to use a cutout in a bumper as a step is that my rear bumper is so far off the ground that it would be almost imposible for me to use it that way. My bump step flips down so that it is approximately halfway between the ground and the top of the bumper, which is only about...

    DeeZee bumper step

    I put one of the retractable type bump steps on my truck a couple of years back. It folds up under the bumper on the driver's side when not in use, and is easy to fold down for use with just a tap of the foot. It extends out from the side of the truck a little bit further than the...

    Album Graphics/Art When Playing Music

    For what it is worth, I found one of the best places to find the album art for music that doesn't already have it is on the Amazon site. And of course, Google is an excellent source. Good luck.

    Album Graphics/Art When Playing Music

    What I've had to do in order to get the album art to show up is to tag the music. I assume that your music is in MP3 format. There are lots of free programs for tagging. You might try something like Mp3tag. It can be a bit of a PITA to add the album art to music but when you download it from...

    Finally got new tires

    Finally replaced those crappy tires that came on the Warlock with a set of Goodrich All Terrains. Man what a difference. They look much better on the truck and they ride even better. Been wanting to change them out since I got the truck, but with the prices of everything just going higher and...

    I have Android 13 on my phone here in Tucson, and Android Auto was working just fine a couple of hours ago.

    RAMCARES, any update on full screen Android Auto?

    Just saw this post and wanted to give you some info on how I resolved my "GPS signal lost" problems. Every so often, I start up Android Auto and within a few seconds get the signal lost warning. I spent a lot of time jumping through hoops trying to fix the problem but for the most part, nothing...

    Factory alarms

    In order to set the alarm on my truck, I need to lock it with the key fob. If I simply lock it usng the button on the door, it doesn't activate.

    Bluetooth CD Player

    I'm probably gonna make a few enemies here, but I've gotta throw my two cents worth in. If the man wants to have a CD player in his vehicle, then why shouldn't he have one? Lots of people still like listening to their music through CD.s. I personally prefer having my music on a USB stick but...

    Locking gas caps in stock?

    I tried the locking gas cap on my Warlock, but it turned out to be a real PITA. The way the cap is tilted when locked in place made it really difficult to insert a key to unlock it. So I went back to the original gas cap and installed a locking fuel door instead. There are several locking...

    Can Uconnect 8.4" Rear backup camera be on while driving forward?

    Sorry, I could get AlfaOBD to work, but I could never get Google drive to work. I just made a list of the settings that I changed with Alfa. There were't many - just activated the alarm system and activated turn signals and puddle lights on new mirrors.

    Can Uconnect 8.4" Rear backup camera be on while driving forward?

    Yeah, I have AlfaOBD, but I never did anything with it concerning the camera or the radio.

    USB issue

    I had a similar problem with my Ford Explorer. It would only recogninze like up to 250 songs or on a USB drive, so I had to load the songs into various folders with only 100 or 150 songs in each folder. Since I had to do it that way for the Explorer, I just made a duplicate USB stick for the...

    Yep, 4th Gen.

    Can Uconnect 8.4" Rear backup camera be on while driving forward?

    I have a 2019 Warlock and all I need to do to get the rearview camera to work while going forward is tap the backup camera icon on the radio. I haven't tested to see how long it will stay on, but I've used it for at least several minutes at a time on numerous occasions . It's worked that way...

    Mirror wtihout turn signal upgrade to the one with signal

    I changed out the side mirrors that were on my 2019 Warlock (the same mirrors you have) with a set that has the turn signals and puddle lights. Found the mirrors on ebay. They were a lot cheaper than the ones from RAM. If you go the aftermarket route, I advise that you make sure the mirrors...

    Remote start

    I went the Start-X route on my Warlock. Took all of 15 minutes to install. Didn't have to mess with installing a hood latch, and it uses the same key fobs that I already had. Works great and have had no problems with it at all.

    How do I measure the lift on my truck?, Insurance won't insure anything with more than 4 inch lift & I don't know how to measure it!!

    You might want to be careful what you tell an insruance company. I'm a retired cop who's done guite a few traffic accident investigations in my career, and one of the things I learned was that insurance companies spend a lot of time and money trying to get out of paying claims. Many times I've...

    Comment About AlfaOBD

    Based on recommendations from many people on this site, I bought the AlfaOBD app and have used it several times. I didn't have a smartphone at the time so I installed the app on an old Samsung tablet that I had. Within the last few days my wife and I bought our first smartphones, and we planned...
