Hi there Thank you for your explaination. I have drangou RT 22, when i go to veichel performance, guages, all the guages are showing zero. It was jus working then suddenly it stopped. How can i fix this???

@CarsWithSteve Жыл бұрын

You're welcome! That's odd about the performance pages doing that.. Outside of taking it into the dealer for diagnostics you can try performing a master reset to see if that solves the issue. It'll delete all your connected devices and presets but it's something the dealer would probably try too

@CarsWithSteve Steve you've been so nice answering my questions I have 1 more my tire pressures are all over the place. Took to the local Dodge dealership had them change the oil to synthetic and they rotated the Pirelli Scorpion 295/45 ZR20 run flat tires they checked for leaks nothing. Set at 35 PSI now still 37, 28, 33, 34 PSI I'm not sure what is going On. Talked with my advisor told me too set at 36psi I did that today. Ever hear of this type of issue??? My digital gauge is exactly what the sensor on the Truck says?????. Thank you

I just got my 22 rt Durango and still playing around with all the settings. One thing I can't figure out or it's not possible is how to play music through Bluetooth and use my Google maps at the same time. Seems it's one or the other. The music will work but the nav only shows up on the phone screen but the nav audio will play through the system. The system cranks the 19 speaker system sounds so good.

@CarsWithSteve Жыл бұрын

Nice, how are you liking the Durango so far? Bluetooth and Android Auto or CarPlay wouldn't be able to work together because AA and CP use bluetooth as part of the connection. If the music is on your phone you should be able to stream it through AA or CP while looking at Google Maps though

How’s the wireless charger? Some people said it’s very slow and a waste of time? We just got our 23 Durango rt plus

@CarsWithSteve Жыл бұрын

More of a trickle charge which I find for most manufacturers for wireless. Usually a good idea to just plug in to USB for a fast charge instead

Is the navigation free on the Durango or is there just a trial period?

@CarsWithSteve Жыл бұрын

Usually the navigation itself is free, with the end user needing to pay for updates after 3 years. Live traffic/weather or uConnect app is where you run into a subscription

The fact it's wireless AA and carplay is HUGE a lot of companies aren't doing this and it's make or break for me when looking at cars

Agree with you there! For some manufacturers their lower trim levels have wireless vs wired in the higher trims - just a weird disconnect right now

@jimmyjarrett7302 10 ай бұрын

You should know it’s broken on the Durango. Mine takes three blocks to connect, and after it’s connected once, it will never reconnect. I get one connection per day, and it doesn’t matter which phone I use. I hate this radio.

What if you don’t want to use Bluetooth and just use the cord because sometimes Bluetooth glitches?

@lerogers33 Жыл бұрын

That works use the chord in my Charger and Durango instead of Bluetooth. Plugged in slightly better in all vehicles, not just Dodge. With Connect if you plug in a chord the system will automatically detect the connection. You don't have to fiddle with any settings.

@jimmyjarrett7302 10 ай бұрын

From my experience, you can’t use both, once it recognizes it as one, it won’t recognize it as the other consistently. The uconnect software seems to be fairly glitchy.
