A sysadmin once received a complaint that a university's email
system could not send messages further than 500 miles away.

After much troubleshooting, he discovered that a server upgrade
had shortened the "timeout" value for network connections.

This time limit corresponded almost exactly to a 500-mile round
trip, causing distant emails to fail while local ones worked.

To do it, open all the truck doors, move every key fob at least 50 feet away from the vehicle, and leave it that way for at least two hours. This forces the RFH module to reset.

After doing this, the map location issue was fixed. Definitely an oddball problem, but hopefully this helps someone else troubleshooting #CarPlay or Android Auto issues in a Ram truck.
