If it works do not update. Unless you want to update just to see if it fails during the return period. Then you could have some piece of mind that you can safely update in the future. Latest update is 22.6...

Then sit back and enjoy. How much did you spend?

$250, no scratches on the screen. I practically stole it. I looked an hour prior and there was nothing under 500 with some scratches. then I looked when i was on my break, and there it was. it was a risk though because the picture didn't show it working, but it had a grade "A" listing.

i've been looking for a long time for something in the $400-$600 range with little or no scratches, just got lucky i guess.

Indeed! Patience typically can get you these at reasonable to great prices.

I’d like to thank the forum for everyone’s successes and fails regarding all the mods and upgrades. I had a basic express with the 5.0 radio as the only option. I have somewhere between an express/ big horn/ sport now with functioning UAS 8.4 radio, ATC, 7” instrument cluster, center console, and power leather heated/ ventilated seats with auto on comfort. I couldn’t do it without all the members before me and Mike and Mike at m2 mods with their wiring harnesses. Money well spent imo. Everything’s great now!

------------- 2018 USA RAM UAS 4C INFO -----------------

2018 8.4 UAS (xxxx) NEED more info. If you have any please share.

Verified P/N's:

- 68331635Ax (USA RAM UAS 4c ) ...

Latest Version: 22.6 (DEALER TSB 08-016-19 RevC D/L )
NOTE: The only files that should be on your Fat32 16GB+ Thumbdrive when ready will be "VP4R_Update" FOLDER.

MD5: 7FC16A62ED3BA3CED525A80C24F6883C

Will this work for a 2019 UAS 63131635AJ from a 2019 RAM 1500 Classic? the radio manufacture date is March 2019, and has 22.5 on it already. sound is kind of muddy (but I got it equalized ok for now) and the text messaging that comes through is annoyingly loud all the time.

I'm on 22.6 and sound is good but the notification sound defaults to 15 every power cycle. It also seems the notification is much louder than what the other sounds are. I turn it down to 3-5 every trip when it starts talking.

That seems to be a common complaint with v22.6. ... The fixed the radio audio EQ settings introduced with v21.9 but buggered up the notifications still.

It's a shame they can't get it right because v19.9 was/is perfect.

It does it for every notification for me on 22.5. If it does it only the one time with 22.6, and I turn it down and it stays down, I’ll be good with that.

I believe the firms your are looking for are in post #3 I have a 2015 (AND a Canadian Import) so I used Post #4 I used a step method going to the next version each time. I was going to stop @ 17.11 but continued to 18.x

Take it from an IT Guy you update at your own risk any time you update firmware on any computer component, it worked for me and generally following the examples given and instructions your outcome should be similar

The 17.x versions are model year specific. We don't yet have a 2014 ra3 17.x version.

Ah, I might have one I'll check...

The idiots at UConnect had all of the earlier files taken down just before they posted 18.45.01 on the servers, so I cant grab them again.

I guess I wasnt smart enough to anticipate their idiocracy ahead of time, I had access to every single file for a long time but never bothered to download them because "who in their right mind would take them all down" ......

Yep...

**Still need anyone with a copy of 2014 Ra3/VP3-NA v17.11.x or v17.43.x SW files to contact me so I can share them for those that need it.**

Yeah, their firmware choices are perplexing. They force hard bricks for things that would normally be soft bricks and a reflash. I also believe it is a mistake to not allow flashing of the previous firmware.

I checked, the newest RA3 files I have are 14.25_5! It's been awhile...
