    Angry Uconnect Update?

    I got a famous notice for the uconnect update abou1 1/2 months ago.

    I got an update to go through or thought I did.

    I got notice again today, and now the radio will not play.

    I called uconnect they set up an appointment with the dealer.

    Guessing they will reflash the truck.

    The question is, what is it going t do to a deleted truck?

    Will it affect tunes?

    It is aggravating to have someone able to control your truck; big brother is watching.

    Only a flash of the radio software will not affect your tune. (make sure they fix the radio).

    By the way, the update is now available for download today.

    I just downloaded it and installed it. I have seen a few others that had issues with the OTA update and went to the dealer, and because they were out of warranty, the dealer charged them, so just be aware.

    It seems crazy for something they forced on you but be ready and ask that question ahead of time.

    Uconnect Update?

    Already have case number and uconnect says they will pay any charges. Now what is crazy, i set time for update and waited over a hour got same notice. then turned to run and mashed run twice, held power and tune button at same time, radio started showing ram and going off and on. Turned off and cranked truck radio working. Still carrying it in to get drive link nuts welded. Don't like that either but for now it will have to do.

    Uconnect Update?

    Latest on uconnect update at dealership.
    One tech worked on truck for over 2 hours, came back said it needed new radio. $2,000.00. So I got on phone with uconnect who gives me a case number and says someone will call you within 2 days and let you know what they will do. Was fixing to leave and service manager asked had they pulled radio to get numbers they needed for unit replacement. Luckly for me first so called tech had went to lunch. They asked another tech to get numbers. He did but decided himself to update radio. You got it it downloaded new update. Then he informs me I'm the one who does all of radio work. I asked why was job not given to you in first place he smiled and said I don't assign who works on what. 3/4 of a day later radio is working no charge. What a day!!!!!!!!!!

    Uconnect Update?

    I downloaded the update to a Flash drive and then plugged it into my truck in one of the USB ports it said files not supported in the other usb port nothing ever pops up has anybody else had this problem?

    I guess I'll go buy another Flash drive and try that but this one is a 32 gig and it's the only file on there.
