When are the order banks open for a ‘23 Durango?

[BULL]

Lots of complaints about the newer Uconnect modules in the Durango forum, one of the reasons I dithered on ordering a '22.

Failures??

@Jimmy N. the one item that seems to be upgraded is the computer system. Hope so because the quirks when using CarPlay in my ‘18 GC are numerous and annoying. Same goes for the ‘19 Hellcat. They both have annoying things that happen and happen consistently.

Wireless CarPlay is finally going to happen. IDK if the ‘22’s have that? Also connecting two phones at once is an improvement. Will we use it? We will see. Other than that not sure what the differences are btw a 22 and the 23’s.

@MikeD1 ?? Their reported problems?? Here is why I can recall right now.

1. cannot plug a CarPlay device in b4 performance pages? Otherwise no go. Hellcat
2. Have to watch the audio selection btw the radio/XM and CarPlay apps, otherwise silence. Both
2. Some of the map apps audio just are not heard worth a damn sometimes, but other times are ok. Both
3. Unplug a CarPlay device, turn the car off. If it is not plugged back in the system pukes. Hellcat, but I have used it more.
4. Performance pages won’t load about 1 out of 30 times. It just thinks about it. Tremendous better than the ‘15 Hellcat which was about 1 out of three times I remember, it was junk.

I wouldn't know if most of the functions work or not. All I use is the gauges in the performance pages and the Sirius screen.

Seems like the 5 version in the '21 TRXs is quicker than the 4 in the '18 Challenger. I haven't driven the '19 Redeye enough to remember how its 4 works. My girlfriend uses Car Play in everything and hasn't mentioned any issues.

Oh, and none of them seem to be able to update on their own as they're parked in radio shadow. And I never let them update when in the car.

Oh, my Hellcat don’t have NAV, or any subscriptions. As far as I know jack shit has been updated. I know its’ quirks now. I allow the PP to load, because I have four custom gauges set-up (oil pressure, SC coolant temp, oil temp and coolant temp) THEN plug in the phone. The rest of it, I live with. Hope the Durango and its’ wireless CarPlay at least solves that problem.

I use Bluetooth for my music from my Droid. I haven't noticed any problems but I rarely, if ever, turn on those pages.

I do, first thing. About the only way to see when the oil finally gets up to enough temp to step on it.

In your case the problem would likely be that the oil's too warm. And without looking at the performance pages, how would you know when to go remove the alligator pieces from the air intakes?

They make it faster. Once we're underway, they get skeered and pee in the intake. Better than nitrous.

Gesus, hope this “new” version has fixed that stuff. Hell, wonder when they are going to begin making some ‘23’s. Did not get my weekly update from the dealer yesterday. Oh well. Saving more $$$ every month.

I’ll welcome myself to the Durango part of our family, with a question because I don’t want to miss even a day. Good things have happened to me over the last six weeks and now the short story is I want to order a new 2033 Durango SRT and need one for my DD!! I may be renting something to fill in a couple of months but that is okay. Hey, and to derail the thread for a while, just post up where they offer to rent or lease a POS reasonably for a couple of months- suggestions are appreciated.

What do you experts know? I hear “soon”. If we keep this thread alive, then the best info (no fake news chit) as always on about anything comes off our auto Forum!

Hey as new to this also have had not chance to put in info, I ordered my Durango Last Sat 11/12/22 full load + black out and Destroyer Gray paint I got Vin# today and Build e mail from Dodge my understanding is from dealer he only got 1 full load Durango Hell Cat (very well known dealer) and Dodge is not accepting any more orders for anything Durango but Basic model. again new to this and all I know is what I was told

Makes me feel good that I also have a confirmed order and a VIN. Thanks for the added info. Let’s keep our fingers crossed we can get at least a Christmas present soon and a D1 status.

Dealer update: no change with my SRT and even an SXT they have in order. D status. Dodge is not in the business of producing vehicles, just taking orders. Just as fictitious as the EV Challengers etc. just our imagination, that they actually manufacture vehicles any longer.

How about it @DodgeCares want to stand up and represent to the world who is reading this???

 

[Magnified]

How many days since you ordered? Is there still a "chip shortage?"

 

[Jimmy N.]

Have they started building them yet?

 

[DGatzby]

Who knows. Just received word they expect a 2022 to ship on Dec 1 that they ordered LAST NOVEMBER!!! I mean WTF?

@Jimmy N. that answers your question. I have to say if this is the way it is going to work, I am going to be out of this shit if it don’t turn status by Jan 1. This is BS, there are other manufacturers that are in the business of producing cars, apparently these people believe this is a game or a joke.

 

[Jimmy N.]

Crap. That doesn't look promising for you getting yours.

If I understand it correctly, you need it. Thankfully, I need one like I need another hole in my head.

Yes. Not quite yet, but by year end either I need a solid change in status and delivery date, or act on something.

 

[Jimmy N.]

Well, in theory I ordered one today. If it'll work out in real life remains to be seen.
Guessing I'll have until July or so to decide if this was a dumb move or not.

Okay it was dumb, but how dumb is the real question.

Which color did you go with? They probably will begin making the ‘23’s soon. Hell, the real calendar is going to change to 2023 before they flip from 2022’s soon!
