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.
@jimmyjarrett7302 mine works fine. Since day one. I haven't had for that long. But my old car set took 30 seconds to load. As soon as I turn the car on it connects to my phone and plays off tidal Android auto. Mine is 2023 citadel
my dad bought a durango gt plus last week but were waiting to sell our current car before picking it up theres a light on the dash on our 16 sentra so were gonna check it out
@CarsWithSteve yes sir I love it. Had a Lexus RCF before this getting too old to get in n out. Been trying too find a cold air intake but Amazon brings up all kinds that say " won't fir 2021 Durango"????
Check out a local performance shop. They'd be able to bring one in for you if it's not in stock and can give you some good pointers for other upgrades!
@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
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.
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.
I drove 12 hours from Chicago to Raleigh NC with my phone on the wireless charger and it didn’t increase 1%, just kept it from draining any further. I just use the usb charging now.

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
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???
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
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.
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
@@CarsWithSteve my wife loves it we got it for her I'm waiting until she gets 500 miles on it before I take it for a rip I know I can't resist trying that sport mode.
@@garysgarage.2841 haha the second it hits the break in period is always the best. I shot a walkaround on the Durango Hellcat and the car wouldn't let me use launch control because it was too new
On our Durango were the seat and temperature reading is on the top right theres a blue circle with a white hollow circle on the middle taking place of the microphones symbols location, what does this mean?
The last generation uConnect 4 system is a wired connection for android auto and CarPlay. Plugin through USB and AA/CP should start working. If they don't, then remove the car connection from the phone and the phone connection from the car and then reconnect
My husband went to church today but I stayed home. When he got in our Durango MY phone alerted me in our house the directions to church and how long it would take to get there. (I must have entered the directions to get to church in my phone once) Why would that happen and how do I stop it??
Thanks! What i am wondering is why is it coming to MY phone when I am no where near the vehicle and not my husbands phone who is IN the vehicle. I thought the Durango could sense which phone is near it?

Can anyone tell me what the little symbol on the top right side of the screen is when in uconnect navigation is… the two cars with an x next to it??? I can’t figure it out and it’s driving me crazy!!!!
Hi there, I’ve had my 2022 Durango for a couple weeks, I’m a loyal Durango owner. For some reason this one doesn’t show traffic on the nav. All my others had yellow, green and red to show traffic flow. Did they get rid of this or is it a setting I can’t seem to find? Please help 😩
Hey Suzy, had someone point this out a few days ago on another uConnect 5 video of mine. SiriusXM on these newer systems does not support Travel Link because of the switch to TomTom navigation
@@suzysobecki661 I know! There's always the option of connecting through Android Auto or Apple CarPlay and using Google maps which has traffic. Would be nice for that feature to be added into uConnect 5 at some point though
I found that same issue. Traffic is why I use Navi. Don't understand, there is even a setting for traffic flow.....every new car I've had came with Navi and traffic.
Hi there! I got into my car the other day and the screen had a cool display with stars and stuff but once I turned my car off it never came back and I can’t figure out how to do it. Any help? Thanks
If it’s the screen I’m thinking of.. you just moved away from your Apps screen. Press Apps along the bottom right tray and make sure that you’re on the All page.
@@CarsWithSteve hi and thanks for the reply. No I don’t mean those stars. I meant like a background screen with really cool planetarium stuff. (Like looking into the actual sky at night)
@@CarsWithSteve thank you but just tried that and it only turned the screen off.....once I touched it, it came back on. I guess I’ll keep finagling with it. I’m starting to think it was a glitch. I took a picture of it though.
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

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

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
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
I drove 12 hours from Chicago to Raleigh NC with my phone on the wireless charger and it didn’t increase 1%, just kept it from draining any further. I just use the usb charging now.
Okay but what if CarPlay doesn’t want to connect. What do we do?

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

It's just a few small visual tweaks to the screen!
On our Durango were the seat and temperature reading is on the top right theres a blue circle with a white hollow circle on the middle taking place of the microphones symbols location, what does this mean?
If it's the one I'm thinking of it's most likely for Alexa
Hey my 2020 dodge durango rt wont connect to AA but its connected through bluetooth
The last generation uConnect 4 system is a wired connection for android auto and CarPlay. Plugin through USB and AA/CP should start working. If they don't, then remove the car connection from the phone and the phone connection from the car and then reconnect
@@CarsWithSteve thank you!

How do you watch videos off it?
No factory option for that yet.. Android may be adding it into a future release but nothing on Apple's side yet

It's a setting in the uConnect 5 screen - you'll find it around the 20:45 mark of the video
Thanks! What i am wondering is why is it coming to MY phone when I am no where near the vehicle and not my husbands phone who is IN the vehicle. I thought the Durango could sense which phone is near it?

It's a pretty interesting system but from what I understand it will push those notifications to the phone that's setup as the primary!
Can anyone tell me what the little symbol on the top right side of the screen is when in uconnect navigation is… the two cars with an x next to it??? I can’t figure it out and it’s driving me crazy!!!!
Believe that is one of the pre-collision assist systems that are disabled
Hey steve can this u connect support alexa app?
I believe uConnect 5 does support Alexa but it requires a data plan to work.
I don't think my Durango citadel 2021 has the future of the gauges and different drive modes 😢
Features are slightly different between trim levels. I'll see if I can get into a Citadel up here to cover off those options!
Can we swap this into a 2015 Durango tho??
If you can find a screen... you'd have to get it programmed so the cost probably wouldn't make sense
Does it automatically connect to apple car play everytime you turn the truck on ?
It would connect the phone as long as bluetooth/wifi are turned on but you'd need to launch back into CarPlay manually
It is supposed to, but as an owner, I can tell you it rarely connects properly.

You need to be in park for it to work
Couple you please talk faster!
Yes I can, you should see my early videos. Can you adjust the playback speed to something that's easier to follow?
Can you speak any faster Geez!
Yup.. this is me at half speed lol. Try changing the playback speed to 0.75x if you're having trouble keeping up and rewind it as necessary
