Just upgraded my old uconnect to newest version!! Thanks for your video!
Good morning, I have a jeep compass year 2022 with uconnect system and the audio is not heard at the time of raising or lowering the volume until the moment that the mute button is pressed but it still does not do the function of raising or lowering the volume
how do you get the software update 17.43.01 ? I have 2 2015 Chrysler 200C , one with the 17.11.07 and the other with the 17.43.01 as far as the Chrysler website both cars are up to date !! Thanks
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.
did you put the stick in before starting your car?
@@ClashingwithTofu yes
How did you get uconnect to send you a USB?
@@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
Any that can be done for the smaller uconnect head unit below this trim level! It’s touch screen but not like this one. USB connection is in center console
On my charger uconnect, you can put it in run without starting the car just press start a second time with out the brake.
What does it actually update?
You can have the vehicle in run mode without turning it on. Just press the start button without your foot on the break.
Thanks for the TIP! :-)
Is there a way i can upgrade it to have andoid auto i have version 17.51.21
Do you meybae know why i dont ahve android auto on my 8.4 uncunnect?
Con la versión del software 17.43.01 se puede escuchar un audio del celular, del whatsapp?
Thanks for this upgrade video, just updated mine to newest uconnect, it is great. Thanks
Do you actually notice that much of a difference with the software update?
Where do I get the updated software ?
Where fo you download the firmware from
On my 2013 ram 2500 5.7, you don’t have to answer to USB before you start it.
Where do you get the usb from
who have this file for download, I cant do it from driveruconnect please
So you can add WiFi ?
You dont have to actually START the engine - just press the start button until it is in the run position (do not press the brake).
where can i buy that usb?
Thanks Bro, What if my USB port isn't working? And is this firmware update free? I got a $99. email offer special from Ram this week...
hey i can get the update , can you sen me the update please
Ty so much
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
this sucks. I was following the instructions 😂😂😂😂😂
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!
Thanks for the video. Any idea on how to do a soft reset or reset of uconnect
I have just made a video to Reset UConnect Infotainment. Please watch here: ua-cam.com/video/4C1Uma-o-Tg/v-deo.html
DIY GEEK very cool. Thank you.
Just hit start button twice without foot on brake will put you in run without engine running
If you want to buy the USB thumb drive I am using please use this link: amzn.to/2zp9MUC
not available
So, am I understanding this correctly. I must contact uconnect and they will send me the upgrade for me to download to a stick. Then use that to upgrade my system 2018 Ram 1500?
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.
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.
I need help just got a 2017 Dodge Ram 1500 and the I connect app just says wait for store to open and does nothing do u have any advice I’m trying to get the WiFi going
Same problem, did you ever get it to work??
taking ours into shop, no USB adaptor, sucks
How do you like not being able to reply via text while driving anymore?
Honestly I do not use reply via text which drive on the Uconnect.
So to confirm, will this give me carplay so I can connect my phone directly?
As of 2019 when I recorded this video there is no Apple CarPlay support for this version of UConnect, maybe future version may.
@@DIYGEEKTEXAS sounds good, I appreciate the response.
Can I still download this update today? I need to upgrade my uconnect. I Have 2015 ram 1500 Canada, i bought a navigation update from factory but did not read my USB that the factory sent me
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.
@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.
@@abu83what solution did you go with?
😮
Where do u get usb stick
Any store that sells usb sticks
Where do you download the update???
Working for ram 1500 2013
They want you to have the engine running so the battery doesn’t die in the middle of update .
Dumb That Ain't GoingTo Kill The Battery
Does this allow me to have apple car play?
no just new maps
What was the difference once upgraded
Better graphics, more organized menu, I was hoping for Apple Car Play / Android Auto - but it was not there :-(
@@DIYGEEKTEXAS how do I get a upgraded usb
@@larryreed6121 I have the link to the upgrade firmware in my video description - that's for uconnect version 8.4
So, you don't need the USB to do it?
@@larryreed6121 Yes you do. You can use any USB drive, format it from your computer to FAT-32 (or MS DOS) and just copy the firmware file to the USB drive.
have you had problems with your truck since this upgrade? i upgraded my jeep and ran into a lot of problems.
What kind of problems are you having- I am getting ready to do this-maybe I shouldn't
in my ram 2014 I could not download it and now I have problems because my stereo is frozen
I mean USB key. Where do I get it.
@Jean Connolly You can buy any USB thumb drive from bestbuy, target, office depot, etc... as long as it is 16GB or more. Format it to MS-DOS or FAT-32 format and copy the firmware file into it.
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.
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.
@@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.
Screen says 35 seconds.
Guy doesn't want truck to run 35 minutes.
Wow....
Y is everybody calling trucks a car?
My mistake, a truck is definitely not a car. Sorry
homeboy, you do not have to press the Brake pedal to cycle your ignition button, the vehicle will change from ACC, to Run, without turning on the truck, if you do not depress the brake pedal. I have no idea, how you have 18,000 followers, DUH.. See Ya.
I can't stand it when someone calls a truck, a fucking car
