2018 Ram 1500 Big Horn, UConnect 8.4, no navigation. Lately I've noticed when listening to FM radio, the song title information and artist information is either incorrect, incomplete, or missing altogether. I've also lost 2 of my 3 HD multi-casting channels I had preset into my system. All I get when trying to tune in these stations is "Buffering..." or "HD Station not available."
When I hop into my wife's 2015 Charger SXT, UConnect 8.4, non-nav I get proper song title information and artist information. Her UConnect 8.4 does not have HD radio multi-channel capability so I can't test those extra channels.
I figured I'd reset my 8.4 radio. There is conflicting information on how to accomplish this. One way is to put the ignition in the Run position then press and hold in the upper right hand corner of the screen for 10-20 seconds. The radio will reboot itself. This is called a soft reset. It doesn't work on my radio.
Another method I read about is to press and hold the Volume and Tuner until the radio reboots. This also did not work.
Another method is to go into the Apps menu, scroll down to Reset System and press that. However, I think that resets everything on the 8.4 system and not the radio only.
I also seem to remember a way to reset the radio using the climate control hot/cold buttons, but couldn't find it.
What's wrong with my radio and what should I do to fix it?
