You have to pay for the map update...about $150

2014 Update

I have been waiting for the OTA update and I have checked the uconnect website as well... the website says my vehicle is up to date. I have purchased the updated maps but cannot install them until I get the software update.

Does anyone happen to have a copy of the 2014 update on USB that they could possibly share? I did see where someone mentioned they stopped updates for the 2014 to address some issues they were seeing.

Hi abeasley,

If you would like to send me a PM with your VIN and your email address I'd be happy to look into this further for you.

If it's now available for download in the US that'll make things easier for those who haven't received it yet... or for those who got the update but suspect the OTA download may not have worked properly.

Anyone else notice the website has changed significantly? Instead of being able to download your current firmware it simply states (see picture)

I downloaded mine on computer last week and put it on a USB drive. I have the Customtronix RAX jailbreak gold so I have to wait until Customtronix pushes out a software update before installing the new uconnect upgrade.

Important!
... Make sure you uninstall the Customtronix SW by running their seperate RAx Uninstaller file BEFORE you run any official Mopar SW updates on the radio.

There have been 1 or 2 members that ended up with bricked radios by forgetting this.

It is my understanding that RAX will not work even if you uninstall it then do the mopar upgrade then reinstall RAX.

Did my update.... nothing major... prob biggest thing I noticed is I can turn off USB auto play (thank god). Looks like a few new skins, drag & drop apps, and album artwork on Sirius.

You are correct. @customtronix does not yet have an RAx Jailbreak for v17.x and up radio software. Hoping they do soon though and also for the 2018 Panasonic radios.

Just completed the update on my 2013... first go around failed at around 75% and gave me a scare that the radio bricked. Something about Sierra failure. IDK.

Anyway after a few power cycles the radio turned back on and the update started over again from 0%. The difference is this time I didnt let the power to the rest of the truck time out (its a setting, mine was on 5 min delay). So every minute or two I would just scroll through the dash menu to let the truck know not to fall asleep.

This seemed to do the trick! Update successful. I like the update alot. It added a ton of features to the 2013 model that were not previously available.
