1050

Well folks, it finally happened. The screen in your pickup truck… your last bastion of peace from the chaos of unskippable advertisements… now plays popup ads. Not even subtle ones. We’re talking full-dash, head-unit-commandeering infomercial panels in your RAM 1500, like you’re driving a Times Square billboard on wheels.

Here I am extremely pissed at the people who made it where my dogs trigger fasten seatbelt beeps in a old Tacoma.

Looked at my car radio the other day to see the name of the song playing. Evidently, it was called " injured, get 'xxxx' lawyer."

Would upgrading to an aftermarket display system be capable of avoiding this?

Real question is what cable or fuse can I pull to disable this?

Bitch all you want about RAM drivers, but this is coming to all cars. Start resisting now.

Well don't worry your brand new Dodge will last about 5-7 years max. So you won't be seeing those ads too long.

They're truly horrible horrible machines. GMC is about the only American brand worth anything and even they suck now.

Honda and Toyota is the way to go anything else and you're just wasting money.

Sucks they don't have super duty trucks for people that need those like hot shotters though.

My 2025 ram has never done this… not saying it won’t ever but… we’ve heard the same stories about all the manufacturers.
