I literally have the exact same problem. Mine is a 2022 ram 2500 larimie with Uconnect 5 I believe. It will only connect to my phone as a regular phone. Doesn’t recognize as Apple CarPlay and CarPlay seems to be missing in the apps. It was working fine for a week after we paired it at dealership. Now it stopped working less than a week later. Plugging directly into usb is no help either. Just keeps searching. Only seems to charge when plugged in. I had it setup to enable software downloads over wifi and setup on home wifi. Hopefully there wasn’t an update flit he. Guess we’re gonna need to take them to dealership. Let me know your
I have the resolve. Called the Uconnect support team. Here is the fix. Truck running or powered on - Step one. Go into phone and turn off Bluetooth and forget the Uconnect device. Step 2. Go into truck screen Uconnect/phone/device manager/settings and remove your (phone)devices. Step 3. Press and hold power/volume button for at least 10 seconds. This will cause a hard reboot. After the reboot, proceed with the usual pairing process. The “use CarPlay” request should pop up during phone/radio pairing/setup process and everything should be good. Worked for my 2022 ram. CarPlay is available and now working again.
worked beautifully! Thanks!
