Just waiting for my new truck to arrive at the dealership. 2021 Ram Tradesman with the 8.4 non-nav Uconnect. I'll be flying several states away to pick it up and then driving it home. It doesn't seem possible to just activate navigation so I"m looking at other means of navigation. I've been reading about using phone apps but with lots of areas not covered I'm wondering if I can pair my Garmin to the Uconnect system to use for navigation?
It's a newer unit with both wifi and bluetooth. Has anyone tried this?
Would it work using the usb port?
Will it display on the 8.4 inch screen?
I really like the Garmin mapping much better then phone apps so I hope where there's a will there's a way!
Go easy on me, I'm new here and pretty close to luddite level when it comes to new tech! I did try using the "search" and "advanced search" but probably don't know the right questions to ask it.
Thanks in advance!!
p.s. After I get the truck home I'm going to bribe my 16 year old nephew to show all this stuff to me, he works cheap, chicken nuggets and a day at the gun range!
