How To: Install a 2018 4C (UAQ/UAS) Radio in 2013 - 2017 RAM

One last post before I stop pestering you all this morning...sorry for the flurry in posting.

Turned back on my BT and a few seconds later I get a message on my screen:

Thanks for that link! Unfortunately, I’ve tried all those options with no luck.

That hub looks identical to the one that that only worked with the android. The one that does work for me has different symbols on the front and it also has a 3rd usb connection for another plug in the rear. The one that didn't work with carplay only has one.

That was the same error that I was getting as well

Another update...

My buddy downloaded Android Auto then plugged in his phone. Android Auto automatically started.

Stranger and stranger! Maybe icetraxx is on to something?

I can connect Bluetooth just fine. I cannot connect my iPhone via USB, though - the radio doesn’t see it. Strange thing...my wife’s iPod connects automatically via USB and starts playing music. But maybe that’s because
It’s a glorified MP3 player? But neither my iPhone nor my son’s iPhone connects via USB. It charges just fine, just not connection to to radio.

Is the consensus here to replace my hub? I worry that it’s going to be the same problem. In other words, why would a new USB hub work? And why should I have to buy one when this one is supposed to?


Right now:

• USB with music is recognized in the media port and plays
• iPod is recognized in the media port and plays
• Android phone is recognized in the media port and starts Android Auto automatically
• iPhone charges but is not recognized as a USB device

If all this is true, then it sounds like either UConnect that needs an update or my phone needs one (and both are allegedly up to date) to fix this issue. That’s where the worry comes in - if I get a new hub, will I still have the same problem?

I say reflash first. Not all drivers are loaded for all configurations.

I would say get the new hub replace it. If it doesn’t work return it lol. My buddy is supposed to be coming over tonight so I’m going to switch his back to the factory hub and see if android auto works because I know with his grand Cherokee radio iPhone only works on the upgraded hub. I’m going to see if I can get the original hub to work with android auto. I know it’s a different radio but the Radio drivers could read different with a different hub. Who knows lmao

Seriously, flashing is free and no one has tried it. You can also do it NOW!

It would explain why that hub works for some and not others.

See the problem with reflashing it is he will have to actually have the copy of his firmware. If it’s 19.9 it’s hard to get. I’m in the process of getting 19.9 for UAQ and UAS.

Same or newer firmware should work just the same.

The plot thickens...as you were.

Well shoot! I heard that 19.9 was a good one to have, and I certainly don't want to lose it if it's hard to get. That's a great idea, honestly, SitKneelBend...if someone has the 19.9 update they'd be willing to send my way first.


Another interesting note: I plugged my phone in and then turned on the truck. The radio recognizes my phone, as a generic device (it appears) and will play music through it. However, there's no controls on the radio that will work. I can pause, skip, etc. songs on my iPhone, but the controls on the radio will not control it. Weird.

Sounds like it works like the older AUX connection. What does the other USB port do?

Let me go see...

EDIT: It does not play media. Checked it with the USB with songs and my wife's iPod. So it's charge only.

And apparently these UAx Panasonic radios won't let you reflash the same update (or back to an earlier one).

M² Mods.

This deal keeps getting worse all the time...

Would it be worth a call to Apple, you think?

 

[Mpgrimm2]

Nope.
Neither apple nor the dealer will be any help with this non factory installed equipment.

Edit: I've have seen and heard dealer's cutout & remove "Mods" as part of their troubleshooting steps... If it's not factory they don't want to deal with it. Sometimes the damage is worse than before.

M² Mods.

Is the “auto show” box checked in your display settings on the radio?

Yes, sir. It is checked.

And yeah, Mike, I certainly don't want to have a dealer start cutting out stuff from my vehicle!

So, unless there's something else that can be done/tried, it looks like the next step is to get one of these hubs.
