    5th gen USB ports inoperable

    Alright guys, trying to see if this is widespread or not. Anyone with a 5th gen experiencing their USB ports, front & rear, not working when it’s hot out?

    This is the 2nd day in a row I’ve come out to all 8 shut off. Mind you it’s been north of 110 here both days. My outside air temp says it’s 142 out right now

    Any insight on how to reset them or the radio?

    EDIT: Uconnect 12

    Hmm, Sounds like it is overheating.

    Probably only cooling will reset it.

    No problems with mine but I live in a much stickier yet cooler environment.

    That's just cooking!

    I'm thinking that is definitely the issue cause they all turn back on once the sun goes down. I wish there was a better way to confirm this was the issue...and that's also pretty unfortunate considering that these trucks ship all over the country.

    I left my cable unplugged today so when I leave later this afternoon we will see if it works, if it does, then it's likely the metal on the cable overheating the port.

    Sounds like a similar deal to the radio issues on 4th gens and cold. Error code on start up

    It probably is.

    I know the 1500 guys we’re having tons of software issues with the 12” screens at launch.

    Probably gonna be a dealership visit.

    There is no interior temp display on these trucks.

    It's the one in the grille after sitting in the sun all day.
