My screen freezes for a while, even when connected to bluetooth, on a side note the aux hub location chews up my aux cable
There should be a little channel for the cable to rest in.

I actually run it out the side, not the front.

I run it out the front, but the gap is so large that it doesn't even need to sit in the channel. In fact, even if you put it there it doesn't stay.

In spite of that, you have to slam the lid for it to latch. Same thing for the deeper storage compartment underneath.

Haven't spent much time under the hood of the 2016 ram but just noticed, and quite surprised, that they still don't run electric fans in these.

Not frequent but every now and then Bluetooth connectivity sometimes is problematic. My UConnect 5.0 freezes every now and again too. Mass production is what it is, but I would like the paint process to improve a bit more. Volume controls should be standard on all steering wheels in all trims.

Let's see, anything else I could gripe about? All and all I think the truck is very solid and honestly is the best full size truck on the market. :) I might just be a mark for Mopar though... Perhaps I'm going too easy.

Technology lol. Lately for me it's been the ticking again when I start it up. It had went away when I switched to mobil 1 synthetic. I am at 4200 miles and plan on changing it at 4500. It was fine until today.

You can put in a electric fan from the 3.6L Pentastar. Apparently it's considered a performance MOD.

There are DEFANITLY a few dirt nibs in the paint due to dirty air in the painting environment at ram. They can be polished out though.

And the orange peel is a little excessive in a few spots but it's bearable.... In white anyway. Black would drive me crazy

The tach and speedo needles trip out occasionally at 4000 rpm and 80 mph. The climate controls on a touch screen aren't going to be user friendly when it's -30*F here in the winter. Leaking 3rd brake light. The grill doesn't go up with the hood anymore (made for more room to stand on the bumper when working under the hood).

Still a better truck than any other half ton on the market. I tested them all, and the Ram just kicks ass.

I have the same problem with the phone. It happens often but I usually can fix it by shutting my phone off in the truck and then re-starting it.

I don't think that will work for me, because the phone never repairs as it is no longer listed in the list of phones, yet my wifes phone was still listed so it's not just blanking out the entire list

Make sure that your Uconnect is running the latest software. You can find out at https://www.driveuconnect.com/software-update/. I was having problems like the radio or backup camera getting stuck. There was an update for my 5" which worked wonders.
