Can someone that's downloaded post it here? The link only takes you to the Uconnect site which isn't working right now.

Wow - this update has completely fixed my Longhorn. Feels like I hit the lottery which is kinda sad because all of this stuff should've worked in the first place. Anyhow, all the VR works, the voice texting works, the rear view camera has a better picture, the radio doesn't switch to FM or AM when it's set on satellite, the phone display now shows how many bars I have too. So aside from everything actually working as it's supposed to, here are a few random things I noticed:

- larger font on screen for things like "Playing Song Born To Run"
- it speaks all VR commands back to me like "Playing artist Warren Zevon"
- larger phone buttons and a large redial button
- a blue glow around the 3G symbol next to the icon
- a menu of acceptable commands displays on the screen when pressing the VR button. This is very helpful.
- "Sent From My RAM" now appears at the end of every voice text
- FM and AM presets had to be restored after the update but not the XM presets
- Most of the Options had to be reset as well
- I saw a poster earlier in this thread say that the speed limit no longer appeared on his NAV screen. Mine was still displaying the speed when I had a destination programmed in. I'm not sure if it's on there when there's no destination.

I keep expecting something to not work because that's been my experience with UConnect, but I have to say that I think the developers got it right this time. Nice job UConnect!

How are you guys downloading this. I haven't had any luck on the website and been trying for two days. Can someone please upload the file for the rest of us, thanks.

If your using Chrome and you notice that the header and footer of the web page don't load, there's a little shield icon at the right of the address bar that you might have to disable. It blocks malicious script, I had to disable mine.

If you still can't get through. Reply here and I'll try and post it to my Dropbox.

Keep in mind I'm in Canada so my radio doesn't have wifi so it's just an 8.4n NOT 8.4an.

Yea I've tried chrome and internet explorer and no luck with either one. I would love to get mine to stop freezing up all the time.

I was able to download it without any issue yesterday around 11am eastern time using Safari on my MAC at work. I could not get it to work using Firefox on my MAC - but Safari worked without any issues.

If I knew how to post the file somewhere for people to download, I would do that. If anyone can give me specific instructions how and where to do that (for free) and I'll be glad to do it.

There is a loading bar on the site itself, it uses some wierd way to download it, you wont get the normal "Save File" dialog box.

I don't even get that far. I put my vin in and it gives me the latest update. when I click on the "begin update process" it doesn't do anything no matter haw many time I click on it. I tried backing out then back in but this is how far I get every time.

This worked perfectly for me. Tried it on 3 different computers one being a MAC
Update went without any problems at all. Now we shall see how good it is. So far so good.
