    I think if you made the 5.0 hardware look more like the FIATs 5.0 hardware it would be a more popular choice.
    Right now the 5.0 looks too cheap, especially for a truck that costs mid 30s.

      Uconnect is laughable at best. I love my RAM truck but uconnect reminds me of the dos 286 days. My 2019 ford software makes uconnect look like pure junk. If RAM owners could see the difference, there would be allot of angry owners out there. Uconnect pure garbage shame on them to herald it as state of the art. It is state of the art if were talking stone age

    I’m seeking urgent info on an important question, a particular concern I have with Uconnect Access. Is it hackproof? If I can be able to remotely unlock or start my spanking new Ram truck, after registering, via use of a computer or readily available smartphone…then will a thief also be able to do so?

    I don’t know why it is so hard to find online, but does anyone have information on the uconnect Radio 3.0 RA1 unit? I am trying to find out what kind of power output it makes rms/total/per channel, it’s a 6 speaker setup in my 2016 ram 1500 and the factory speakers are already crackling, I need to replace with better than stock speakers, any help would be greatly appreciated as I can plan out what speakers to order. Thanks!
