Ok, I've read through this thread and just want to get a few clarifications if that is ok? I have a 2016 Ram 2500 CTD that I installed a UAQ into. My Ram had the RA4 in it before the UAQ. Here are the issues I have and what I think are the answers...
The Heated & Cooled Seats do not function on the touch screen, but the hardware buttons work.
--Have to install some separate module or something to get them to work?
SiriusXM Guardian does not work and can not be activated.
--This cannot be done so there is no way to get these features?
I try to activate radio on my SiriusXM account and the radio ID just doesn't bring up anything.
--I have no clue on this one...
Sorry for jumping in as a first time poster, but this is the first real thread I've seen on people working on the UAS/UAQ upgrade path. I do have access to an Autel unity and the AE software if there is something I can do with that. I did read that there has been some AE bricking so I am also good not to touch that as well! Thanks for any help!!!
Was this a new UAQ or one that you purchased preowned? As for the Heated and cooled seats, do the buttons show on the screen but are greyed out? If so infotainment sells a module that may make them work. The reason I say may, is because in my testing with my 2016 2500 CTD, the CAN message that the radio is expecting to receive to activate the buttons on the radio is different than the CAN messages that the 13-14 trucks are sending. We know that infotainment's modules work on the 13-14 trucks, but it is unknown if it works on my 16. I do know that I had the radio in my wifes 16 2500 6.4 truck and her buttons worked correctly which means there is some difference in the CAN communications between the gassers and the diesels. I don't use the soft buttons on the radio, so it has never really bothered me.
There is no way to get the Sirius Guardian features at this point. It has been the same with the RA3/4 conversions who were trying to get Uconnect Access going. If the truck did not ship with the feature available, then there is no way to get it. As for the activation, that is strange. I keep switching between radios that have an activate subscription on them, so I haven't actually tried to activate one recently.
