I actually added that to my short list of buys yesterday. Definitely seems cool, just not sure where Im going to put it so it doesn't look obnoxious
Before I saw that thing I thought the curt echo was borderline dangerous (who hasn't had an app crash before). That really eases my concerns with it. Glad I went redarc though after how dissapointing the mopar one ended up being.

Maybe its the Apple platform or how i have my phone placed while driving but I really dont mind the whole app thing. But the button will certainly make it easier ad now i dont even need to have my phone attached to my windshield

With android auto I didn't even bother to do a mount in the JT. just plug it in and throw it in the console. great for as much as I am doorless as well.

Android auto also starts locking out functions on the phone while it is running.

You should be fine towing that weight TT. I am towing a 5,200 lb dry TT without issue and I am lifted on 37s. I did regear to 4.88s to help with the taller tires. While it won't tow up hills like a 2500 truck it does just fine.

Really!? Thats crappy...as far as ive seen so far not a single phone function is locked while using apple carplay.

Not trying to start an apple/android debate, just wild the differences between the two.

Curt echo



Yes

No idea honestly if mine is “right” but with it i sit level, without im low in the rear. I feel like the sway bar helps with big trucks passing and such. My Echo is fantastic.

Have you had any issues with sway with your setup?

Some things work. Others will throw up an error. Screen will sometimes pop up saying that android auto is running. Its not terrible, but it is anoying. Specifically if I want to search for the maps quickly via my phone. even if maps are not running on android auto I can't launch it.

A little at first on a pretty windy day, but it wasn't by any means bad. I added the sway bar to the WDH and it feels better

That's not a Uconnect issue, that is designed in by Android. If the cable is connected so that Android Auto will run, Maps will not come up on the phone. If you send an address to Maps, or try to bring up directions, it will come up on the Map screen on Android Auto.
