5.0 touch screen question

[hankRam2015]

I have 5.0 touch screen in my ram 1500. When I play Bluetooth or Sirius I do NOT get album art. My wife has 5.0 in her jeep and does get album art. I also don't get text messages but there's an icon for it? Any feedback or advice ?

I don't get album art on my 5.0. I haven't updated with the last firmware from 4/2014. My 5.0 sometimes notifies me of a text message over Bluetooth.

Interesting. Anyone else ? Anyone getting album art?

I did update mine with usb stick. Still no album art or text messages. I'm wondering if there's a setting or something ?

I WANT ALBUM ART!!!

Are you using an iPhone? If so to get the text messages you have to go under the device in your Bluetooth settings on the iPhone and enable notifications.

 

[hankRam2015]

Yes I am. Cool that answers the text question. Is there a setting to get album art?

 

[hankRam2015]

I read on another forum ""Default
If you hook up via a USB cable instead of Bluetooth it will show artwork. It will also allow selection of music via the voice command."" Going to try and report back

 

[hankRam2015]

Confirmed. Album art does show on 5.0 when connected by usb....does not show with Bluetooth

 

[JGBimle]

Yea it shows with usb but as far as I know it doesn't with Bluetooth. There's no setting at least that I've found.

I have a Samsung Galaxy S 5 , I use to have text messaging readout with my RA2 5.0 , I THEN updated to the latest software and now I do not have text messaging anymore , it still has the icon , it's just greyed out and the radio reads my device is not compatible? WTF , I thought updates wer supposed to make things better not loose FEATURES , the main reason I upgraded to the RA2 Was for hands free calling and TEXT messaging. .

Anyone have any suggestions for texting ? , Can I install an older version of software ? If so where do I get it from ?

Or is this an extra paid subscription that I can purchase , if so through who?

Sorry for all the Qs , I just really miss having the texting feature. ..

Did you try a power off then back on reset of your phone?

When I recently upgraded my 5.0 radio software, I lost the text feature on my LG G3 phone. Messed with every setting on the radio and deleted and re-synced the phone numerous times with no change. Not until I did a power off/on reset of the phone, did the text feature come back.

I'll try that tonight ! Thanks , any others with advice ?

One other thing, before you do the phone off/on, delete the phone bluetooth profile from the radio. Then do the pairing like it is the first time and go from there.

I have done that already , that didn't work for me , I also had my battery disconnected for about 3 hours while I was installing some LED red lights on my tailgate area and on the ground under the tailgate for hunting season , so I can see to pack my gear and such .
See pics below .
Thanks buddy I hope the phone power down works ! I'll post up the results either way ..

I meant delete the phone bluetooth profile before you do the power on/off. Not delete/add the profile as a standalone.

Gotcha !

Just to confirm, text messaging works both ways ( incoming read out and pre-defined replies) on my RA2 5.0 with latest firmware v 5.2.20.1 and my LG G4 with lollipop 5.1.1.
I never noticed that there were pre-defined reply texts you could send, thought that was an 8.4 RA4 feature but it works. Go figure.
