USB Ram 4500 Chassis Cab 2018 Owner's Manual

Apple CarPlay Integration
Uconnect works seamlessly with Apple Car-
Play, the smarter, more secure way to use
your iPhone in the car, and stay focused on
the road. Use your Uconnect Touchscreen
display, the vehicle's knobs and controls, and
your voice with Siri to get access to Apple
Music, Maps, Messages, and more.
To use CarPlay, make sure you are using
iPhone 5 or later, have Siri enabled in Set-
tings, ensure your iPhone is unlocked for the
very first connection only, and then use the
following procedure:
1. Connect your iPhone to one of the mediaUSB ports in your vehicle.
NOTE:
Be sure to use the factory-provided Light-
ning cable that came with your phone, as
aftermarket cables may not work.
2.
Once the device is connected, the system
will display the CarPlay home screen. Apple
CarPlay should automatically launch, but if
it does not launch automatically, refer to the
Uconnect Owner’s Manual Supplement for
the procedure to enable the feature “Au-
toShow.” You can also launch it by pressing the CarPlay located in the “Apps” menu. If
you use Apple CarPlay frequently you can
move the app to the menu bar at the bottom
of the touchscreen. Press the “Apps” button
and locate the CarPlay app; then press and
drag the selected App to replace an existing
shortcut in the main menu bar.
Once CarPlay is up and running on your
Uconnect radio, the following features can be
utilized using your iPhone’s data plan:
• Phone
• Music
• Messages
• Maps
NOTE:
To use CarPlay make sure that cellular data is
turned on, and that you are in an area with
cellular coverage. Your data and cellular cov-
erage is shown on the left side of the radio
screen.Phone
With CarPlay, press and hold the VR button
on the steering wheel to activate a Siri voice
recognition session. You can also press and
hold the Home button within CarPlay to start
talking to Siri. This will allow you to make
calls or listen to voice mail as you normally
would using Siri on your iPhone.

INFORMATION
Steering Wheel Audio Controls
The steering wheel audio controls are located

Reception Conditions
Reception conditions change constantly
while driving. Reception may be interfered
with by the presence of mountains, buildings
or bridges, especially when you are far away
from the broadcaster.The volume may be increased when receiving
traffic alerts and news.
Care And Maintenance
Observe the following precautions to ensure
the system is fully operational:
• The display lens should not come into con-
tact with pointed or rigid objects which
could damage its surface; use a soft, dry
anti-static cloth to clean and do not press.
• Never use alcohol, gas and derivatives to clean the display lens.
• Prevent any liquid from entering the sys- tem: this could damage it beyond repair.
Anti-Theft Protection
The system is equipped with an anti-theft
protection system based on the exchange of
information with the electronic control unit
(Body Computer) on the vehicle.
This guarantees maximum safety and pre-
vents the secret code from being entered
after the power supply has been discon-
nected. If the check has a positive outcome, the
system will start to operate, whereas if the
comparison codes are not the same or if the
electronic control unit (Body Computer) is
replaced, the system will ask the user to enter
the secret code. See an authorized dealer for
further information.

amplify the source and play through the
vehicle speakers.
• Pressing the “AUX” button on the touch- screen will change the mode to auxiliary

ing the music from your device to be heard

the AUX, plug in the audio jack.
• The functions of the device are controlled using the device buttons. The volume may
be controlled using the radio or device.
USB Port
• Connect your compatible device using a
USB cable into the USB Port. USB Memory
sticks with audio files can also be used.

vehicles sound system while providing
metadata (artist, track title, album, etc.)
information on the radio display.
• When connected, the compatible USB de- vice can be controlled using the radio or
Steering Wheel Audio Controls to play, skip
to the next or previous track, browse, and
list the contents.
• The battery charges when plugged into the USB port (if supported by the specific de-
vice).
• To route the USB cable out of the center console, use the access cut out. NOTE:
When connecting your device for the first
time, the system may take several minutes to
read your music, depending on the number of
files. For example, the system will take ap-
proximately five minutes for every
1,000 songs loaded on the device. Also dur-
ing the reading process, the Shuffle and
Browse functions will be disabled. This pro-
cess is needed to ensure the full use of your
features and only happens the first time it is
connected. After the first time, the reading
process of your device will take considerably
less time unless changes are made or new
songs are added to the playlist.
