Ram Uconnect vs. Apple CarPlay/Android Auto

[stevenlizard]

So I’m curious - why doesn’t Ram put Apple CarPlay or Android Auto in their trucks? Seems like it’d be way more user-friendly compared to their Uconnect system they’ve got going on. Anyone else feel the same, or are you ride-or-die for Uconnect?

Doesn’t the latest Uconnect have support for both CarPlay and Android Auto now?

CarPlay and Android Auto just make everything so much smoother, from maps to music. I’ve always found Uconnect a bit clunky in comparison, especially for stuff like navigation. If RAM added CarPlay or Android Auto, I think it’d be a game-changer for usability.

I get what you’re saying, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto feel so intuitive, especially when you’re used to your phone’s interface. But I think RAM might stick with Uconnect because they can customize it more and keep control over the features. Uconnect does offer some unique stuff (like integrated vehicle settings), but it’s a bit of a learning curve if you’re used to other systems. Personally, I’d love the option for CarPlay or Android Auto just for the smoother navigation and voice control, but I get why RAM wants to push their own platform. Guess it comes down to personal preference!

I hear you, but honestly, I’ve grown pretty fond of Uconnect! It’s not as flashy as CarPlay or Android Auto, but I like how integrated it feels with the truck’s settings. Once you get used to it, there’s a lot you can customize in Uconnect that you can’t with CarPlay. That said, I wouldn’t mind if RAM gave us the option to switch, just for those who prefer their phone’s setup. More choices would be awesome!

I was a CarPlay fan before switching to RAM. Uconnect takes some getting used to, for sure! CarPlay feels more natural, especially with maps and voice-to-text. My old car had it, and it felt like an extension of my phone, so I was pretty bummed when RAM didn’t offer it. That said, I’ve come to appreciate Uconnect’s deeper integration with vehicle settings. Still, I think it’d be a win-win if they offered both options! ✌
