I just did this with a usb sent to me by uconnect, which was a wonderful surprise ... it was seamless and only took around 21 minutes, went smoothly ... it was nice to recognize the various screens as it went along, thank you for posting.

@@Soloyo2882Gosh sorry can't recall. Think I got a postcard or some kind of notice I can't remember when I first purchased it used, I may have been told to download from online or get it at Jeep service (God forbid, the one here is horrendous in Gainesville FL) or pay $5 for usb version. It was around 2019

July 2020 - I have a 2015 jeep overland ( 28000 miles ) . I tried upgrading my system using UCONNECT. I downloaded the upgrade on to a stick. followed the prompts - the stick was put in the jeep, I started to upgrade but stopped on unit 11. we tried 3 times. it ended up affecting the battery. had to tow the jeep to the dealer. after a diagnosis ( $150) they told me I needed a new battery. this sucks. I was following the instructions . ~ JDS/CT

@glenngoetz3054 3 жыл бұрын

Might be why some advise the motor to be running or have a charger hooked up while upgrading. Batteries in new cars that have everything controlled electronically are going to be needing a new battery at the 4 year Mark! I just bought a new battery for my 2016 Challenger RT. After searching and shopping I got mine for only a little less than you got it from the dealer. Quit Whining!

@DIYGEEKTEXAS 2 жыл бұрын

Hi Russ, no you can download the firmware file from the internet. Just search for Uconnect firmware RAM 1500 and make sure you are downloading from RAM / Dodge / Mopar website instead of any 3rd party of fake website. Then you will copy to a stick, then you will plug the stick to your truck center compartment and upgrade it.

@samanthal5766 Жыл бұрын

So is that a blank usb? Or did u go to I connect now download the update onto it first?

Not a blank USB. You have to download and load the Uconnect firmware file first.

hey i noticed you are having the same problem I'm having. nobody replied to your message. were you able to find a copy of this firmware? I'm in Canada as well I have the same truck as you. when you go to the website it says your truck is up to date. this is complete bullshit. trying to find a copy of this firmware is next to impossible. when i talked to my dealership they said they could do it for a 180 bucks. no thanks lol.

@abu83 Жыл бұрын

@David Kowalski thanks for that info. Yeah 180 bucks seems too high. Im still trying to find other means. But Im also trying to compare the 180 bucks vs getting a better head unit which costs more than that.

Hi. I don’t think any of this will help. The whole screen went crazy. Except camera. I turned on heat to 80 just to heat up the truck. All of a sudden it went from face to face and feet to feet to windshield and kept going from one to the other. The radio started going from one station to another and back to Sirius radio. I don’t use Sirius. Everything acts like it’s possessed. Haaha. Know what I mean. It won’t stay on one station. It won’t stay on one setting heat/ac. It just keeps switching.

@jeanconnolly1716 3 жыл бұрын

It acts like a wire is wiggling and hitting every 2 second on a diff channel or heat temp or ac. Got any idea. Pls help. Always ends up on Sirius radio advertisements I can change it and it jumps right back to Sirius. I can put heat or ac at temp and it changes instantly to another. Can you pls advise me. I can’t afford this. My warranty is gone but I own it 7 months and now it’s all haywire. 2018 59k miles Laramie.

@@jeanconnolly1716 Okay I think I know what is going on. RAM/Chrysler has a screen laminating issue, where the top layer of the screen starts to separate and between that separation there are liquids. This issue sometime causes side-effect for false presses / touches on the screen (erratic and unpredictable) just like you are describing.

@DIYGEEKTEXAS 3 жыл бұрын

@@jeanconnolly1716 Hi Jean I replied at my other video already. Basically I believe your screen may have lamination separation issue, where the most outer layer is peeling off, so some areas are touching and some are not giving wrong signals at unpredictable areas.
