    Uconnect 5 Box requires service . . .

    All I know is it hasn't happened since they worked on it and the other dealer tried 6 times and failed to correct it.

    Uconnect 5 Box requires service . . .

    It was Keller Bros. Dodge in Lititz Pennsylvania. Here is a copy of the report keep in mind that the radio module had been replaced by another dealer previously so that colud explain the loose connection but they said they have seen issues with the connection from the factory.

    Uconnect 5 Box requires service . . .

    So I ended up going to another local dealer the first week in March because they said they had been having success with this error. They checked the antenna, antenna wire and everything connected to the box and all that was good so what they ended up doing is just squeezing the connector a...

    Oil Change Intervals

    I'm an old school person. For years I was 3 months or 3,00 miles whichever came first. Since switching everything to full synthetic I still use old school type thinking and do 4 months or 4,000 miles because it's an easy timeline to remember and for me it is always the time before mileage since...

    Uconnect 5 Box requires service . . .

    When I get the error my buttons at the top are red the whole time I'm driving. I did push the call button and it starts to connect the call but I canceled it. Also when I get the error I noticed that the voice command feature does not work. It will listen but does not execute the command. When I...

    Uconnect 5 Box requires service . . .

    He just said they've had some success with the problem. He did say they have to take the dash apart i'm guessing to get to the telematics box. He said sometimes it's as simple as a bad connection but that they have replaced the box/antenna module/and cables at times. I don't know how they...

    Why Laramie over Big Horn?

    I was looking at 1 year old trucks when I bought mine and the Laramie was on average about 5-6 thousand more and most did not have the work features I wanted like bed utility group, off road group, trailer brake etc. Also I was looking for a quad cab which isn't available in a Laramie anymore...

    3.21 vs 3.92 towing question

    I agree with this the most I think. People often overlook payload especially when camping because you ultimately load up the truck with lots of crap and you need to factor in all weight, towing and payload. That being said shorter gears will definitely help off the line but also at highway...

My truck came with the Wildpeak at3wa from the factory but they are lower grade then true at3w. now that the new Wildpeaks came out they look...

    Adding Passive Entry: How-to

    Also I did check with a local dealership and the service manager checked and didn't see it as an option for them to add, but a thech told me that some sales codes need to be added by FCA and can't be done by dealers but again I don't know for sure if that's true.
