Well, I just read about the 2018 Ram Tungsten Edition with Apple pCar Play and Android Auto. I'll be looking for a wrecked one if the radio is still an 8.4...

Recently I've had issues with my 8.4 out of the blue. My GPS time is incorrect causing the NAV to be off and the cellular module appears to have failed. The following fix worked for me to get past a flash reboot loop but I have yet to try calibrating the GPS and my truck thinks it is stationary in downtown San Antonio...
"Hello all, As on numerous other threads, I recently purchased a used 2014 JGC Limited with Nav. Previous owner had not done any updates or even recalls. After following the directions to update UConnect, downloading the file (I had no problem with a scandisk thumbdrive by the way) I too got held up at unit 10 of 12, 1% downloaded. Same error: "Air Card Bolo install failed." I tried with car in RUN, engine off; car engine running, and even while driving. All with the same result: Radio frozen, requesting to put the USB back in.
Frustrated I turned the vehicle off and called UConnect. I got a real person at 2230 on a Sat night. They knew exactly the problem. Here was the fix:
Get back in your Jeep.
Turn the vehicle on, engine running.
When the radio says, re-insert the thumbdirve/flashdrive.
As soon as Unit #1 starts loading and gets to 1% pull the drive out. (Its okay if you get to 4-5 %)
Turn off the engine and vehicle
Open the driver door and wait for the radio to go black (Sleep)
Close the door and start up the vehicle as usual. Update should be done and all systems back to normal.
If you thought this was a fix for the NAV, the reason I wanted to do the update in the first place, it is not. The fix for the NAV, as told to me by the UConnect rep. Find an open area (Field, big parking lot) with no electrical lines or nearby cell towers transmission sources, etc. Open the drivers door, and do three tight circles, driving counter clockwise. Door should stay open the entire time. I will try it in the morning, but the first fix, was as advertised, so I'm finally hopeful. After over a year of trial and error testing, they seem to have found the tricks to fix the issues. Best of luck and Semper Fi!"
