Not for nothing but wipers have nothing to do with Uconnect. I think you have some other electrical issues going on like bad battery or wiring/fuses connections.
There are some wiper functions in uConnect, like the auto-wiper function.

Just for clarification, are you saying that for you to have access to the Uconnect Nav and smartphone interface, the subscription cost is $279/month? :oops:

As already mentioned, the Uconnect Nav sucks unless you're interested in taking the scenic route and burning more gas. Hopefully, using Android Auto or Apple CarPlay is still free.

Sorry, I meant $279 and change per year.
My free trial ends on 7/27.
I do use Android for navigation and some other free stuff ( Spotify, Tidl).

My apology, it looks like I misread your post and I see now that you indicated $279 was the yearly rate.


I do plan on letting the trial offer on Ram Connect expire next month.

$279.00 per year seems high for mapping, phone connections etc .

I'm still curious to understand what exactly you meant by "phone connections".

The BlueTooth or hardline connection between my phone and '21 Warlock is completely free.
Is FCA now charging a subscription fee for the BlueTooth or wired interface to a phone on '23 model trucks?

Not that I'm aware of. But....I wouldn't be surprised if manufacturers impose fees/subscriptions on just about anything associated with "infotainment ".

No, that’s the yearly rate for everything. All I want is the remote start and info- that’s about half- somewhere around $150 annual.

Just so I'm clear, you own a '21 Ram and the remote start function is a subscription service?

.
The subscription is for the phone App functions that include: locate veh, start/stop/lock/unlock/send destinations from phone to truck, among other things. All remotely anywhere you have a signal. You can check out the app by going to the Google Playstore and search RAM APP.
The remote start function with your regular FOB is free. No charge.
