In order to reset the radio in a 3500, both batteries need to be disconnected, right?

It might be less work to pull the battery IOD Main fuse instead.

This would be correct, pull both grounds, but as mentioned above it's easier to pull the fuse for the radio.

Yeah, I pulled the 30 amp for radio/amp, but apparently not long enough...if that's supposed to work

Try holding the volume and tuning knob for 10-20 seconds for a basic Uconnect radio reset.

Thanks RD, especially for the interactive TIPM link.

I have replaced the OEM with an Android radio. Everything was great for about a year until I had to replace the batteries. Then no sound on any app or channel. Not sure if this will reset the Alpine sound or not, but I cannot find any obvious cause.

You're most welcome.

These Uconnect radios often intermittently misbehave, and while I prefer to fix deficiencies, sometimes replacement is the better choice.

The Uconnect 8.4C radio in my truck has a few tolerable quirks, but I see the future replacement as an inevitable and final solution.

I believe my extended warranty still covers the radio, and I thought I might try my luck with that route before spending money.

I reread your post and may have misunderstood.

If I understand correctly, you replaced the Uconnect radio with an Android radio a year ago, and it worked properly until you recently replaced both starting batteries.

Now you have no sound from any of the radio functions?

Is there any possibility that a connection to the speakers has been disconnected?

If we go much further, prolly need to move this to audio subforum. I pulled the 60 amp before coming in the house, we'll see what it does tomorrow.

Whelp, pulled the IOD fuse and left it out overnight, now no radio, no unlock/lock, no interior lights, no remote start, and a NO FUSE message on the EVIC. Truck runs and drives and all lights work...
