Car play software

Has anyone attempted to load the software on an older truck? Curious what would be different about the radios.

It’s not just a software update. The hardware needs to be able to be there too. There are physical difference in the hardware that can do it and those that can’t. If you want CarPlay you need a unit that can do it.

But isn’t the UConnect software just a variant of android?

Nope, it is not.

And Carplay needs a specific chip within the head unit to work. I believe that wasn't incorporated by Ram until the 2018 model year.

Not yet but I believe the next generation will be...
