RAM Uconnect and Carplay volume bug

In RAM trucks (such as the RAM 1500 and 2500 with Uconnect and Apple CarPlay), the volume dropping to a very low level after sending or having a text message read is a known bug tied to how Siri, iOS audio channels, and Uconnect interact. When a message is sent or received, CarPlay fails to switch the audio output back from the "voice/Siri" channel to the main media channel. Some people suggest a workaround is to disable "Automatically Send Messages".

Based on widespread reports of this bug, this has been an issue for years. Why has Apple not fixed this bug?

iPhone 18 Pro, iOS 27

No one here can answer your question. You're not addressing anyone from Apple as this is purely a user to user only forum, which Apple neither participates, nor reads for user questions. As such, why questions simply can't be answered here.


We've certainly seen some people chime in about Uconnect and CarPlay, but that doesn't mean it's an Apple issue. Things seem to work just fine with other infotainment systems from other car manufacturers. Apple has no control over a system from Dodge at all. So what did Dodge say when you logically contacted them about the issues you're seeing?


You are welcome of course to provide feedback to Apple, but not by posting here. Use this link to contact Apple --> Feedback - iPhone - Apple


But I think it's Dodge you need to get help from.
