I can't seem to find the menu option to set that. Years ago (2013) I had 8.4 Uconnect with Nav and it just worked didn't have to do anything.
Now when I connect to the phone, and turn off, the next time I start up it goes back to the dead XM radio instead of the phone.
Maybe my radio is defective? Any ideas?

After that having the door open until the dash turned off, then closing and starting the engine, radio still defaulting to XM, and still not connecting to BT with the media button.
Will try again when it's not pouring out. Kinda thinking I have a defective head unit.

What type of phone? That version should use wireless Carplay. Not sure about the Android auto function. Then you can just hit the Carplay icon instead of media.
I think wireless was introduced in more upscale models. I can do wired android auto, and the radio will default to that. I don't use it for quick drives to avoid wear and tear on the expensive to replace phone connector.

Match Brake, Break, Baker and Kebar to the right pictures.

can't find the "break" pedal ๐
The "baker" fell in the "kebar"! Or was it the "kebar" flooded the "baker"?

No memory button.
No memory seats for which fob opened the door? What trim level?

Okay Googled around and found this.
1. Sit in driver seat, doors closed, vehicle off.
2. Foot off the break, press start/stop button once to place vehicle in ACC mode.
3. Press the start/stop button twice to turn off vehicle.
4. Hold the Voice Recognition and Green Phone buttons on the steering wheel for 30 seconds, then let go.
5. Open the driver door for 30 seconds, or until the dash display cluster turns off - whichever comes first, then close the door.
6. Hold down the break pedal, and press the start/stop button to start the vehicle normally.
After I did step 6, my Uconnect system quickly flashed through several screens including what looked like a dial pad and the text "enter anti-theft code" (?). It still started in FM radio, but when I pressed the Media icon, it immediately went to Bluetooth (whereas in the past, I would have to hit the down arrow then select Bluetooth). I restarted the vehicle normally again, and this time it went straight to Bluetooth.
Let me know if you have any questions, or you can call Uconnect General Support here: https://www.driveuconnect.com/contact-us.html
They asked for the last 8 characters of my VIN and had me verify my name, address, and phone number (which I assume they got through RAM). Edit: The second guy asked for my address and email, then asked if I wanted to add my phone number, so I guess they weren't for verification, but to add to their records.
Sounds like a sobriety test
Or a reason to drink. Chicken or the egg scenario. :B

My 19 Ram won't stay in Bluetooth after shutting it off. Haven't taken the time to research so I'm staying tuned in to this thread.
Pretty frustrating to say the least.
My '17 did.. I wonder if it's a feature FCA removed sometime during the '19 model year?
