trix ip yes while driving you can turn on the camera. I use it when towing my camper and making a tight turn, I can turn on the camera and make sure my trailer can clear and make the turn.
Nice review and walkthrough but you do realize ram offers free software upgrades for your system and you could of had this software on your 13’. Also you can play video/movies on screen with a simple bypass harness @Gary Tripp
Jeborian Williams I really don't know. I do know that if a Ram truck did not come with the 8.4 inch screen from the factory, you could not later upgrade to one.
Lucille Gagnon the mute button essentially does the same thing. When it's muted, it's off. They probably just don't call it a power button as to not confuse people. If it was a power button instead of a mute button, I'm sure some people would think it also powers down everything, rather than just the radio part.
Ha ... this weekend I picked up a 2014 Longhorn ... was driving it back home (1,000 miles) and being new to this type of system I found myself saying ... where the hell is the radio off button, all I can find is the mute button! :) Took me some experimentation to find that the mute button didn't mute other features. :) Glad to see someone point that out.
Dan Nativio you press the mute button in the center of the volume knob. You can then press the screen off button if you wish. That's the only way to turn it off.
Navigation can be activated from a Ram dealer for about $500. If you have a navigation icon already on your screen, then you already have that. If the icon is not there, then it needs to be activated.
Lucille Gagnon in the center of the volume knob is a mute button that silences the radio. If you want the screen off, you can press the screen off button as well.
I dont have this exact truck anymore, so I cant say for sure. I believe there was an option under the settings to shut it off. Either that, or under the apps section there is an wifi app you can change.

trix ip yes while driving you can turn on the camera. I use it when towing my camper and making a tight turn, I can turn on the camera and make sure my trailer can clear and make the turn.
How do I download pandora on my radio?
Does it have Android Auto? Or free Software updates? I'm thinking of buying a 2014 this week. Thanks.
Android auto wasnt available until the 2018 model year.

Please advise... what radio model and contact or RUclips video of how to do this.
I came across a uconnect 8.4 from a RAM. Do you know if it will fit in a challenger

Speedogomer yes you can. It has been done many times.
It is very bazaar that you cannot power off the radio other than "screen off" and "mute"
Lucille Gagnon the mute button essentially does the same thing. When it's muted, it's off. They probably just don't call it a power button as to not confuse people.

Speedogomer how does it tow

Drew Croft the truck tows excellent. I have a 26ft travel trailer I tow, about 7500 lbs total, and I find it tows it great.
How do you turn off the radio.
Dan Nativio you press the mute button in the center of the volume knob. You can then press the screen off button if you wish. That's the only way to turn it off.
no HD radio on this model?
P. G. S no there is not on the 2016. I'm unsure about the 2017, but my 2018 now has HD radio.
The nav option includes HD radio function.
Just got 2016. Does this have Navigation system?
Navigation can be activated from a Ram dealer for about $500. If you have a navigation icon already on your screen, then you already have that. If the icon is not there, then it needs to be activated.
@@speedogomer Thanks don't need it that bad!
Can you watch RUclips media?
No, you can not play any video.
How can you shut the radio off?
Lucille Gagnon in the center of the volume knob is a mute button that silences the radio. If you want the screen off, you can press the screen off button as well.
push the volume knob center
How do you add apps to this unit 2017 Big Horn
did you know how to add apps?
Just picked up a 2017 with connect 8.4, Did you figure out how to add apps? Does it have apple CarPlay?
Hey, how can i shut off the wifi?
I dont have this exact truck anymore, so I cant say for sure. I believe there was an option under the settings to shut it off. Either that, or under the apps section there is an wifi app you can change.
Is there a CD player?
CD players are an option, my truck does not have one.
Can you play movies off your phone onto the screen
Gary Tripp no, there is no way to play any videos on the screen.
