I have received the OTA msg several times, and each time I tried I would get the "update failed" msg. I received an email with the update info, and to follow the directions. The next day we had a phone msg telling me the same thing about updating. Not a big computer guy, so a friend picked up a USB flash drive and followed the procedures to do it. Plugged it into the truck, and it indicated the USB is not supported ? Called UConnect and they asked what brand flashdrive, told them it was a San Disc, and the person with the very broken English informed us that San Disc will not work ??? So back to the store for another flashdrive, and my friend repeats the procedure on the computer. Attempt # 2, and the same thing, "not supported". Another call to Uconnect, more delays and now told it is the USP flashdrive. When asked what one will work, they said we needed a "Kingston 4gb". Of course no one in our area sells them, so I had to order one, and now it will be a "wait & see" once that arrives. I asked about the OTA that I received and was told they "don't" offer that anymore ??? I have read all the post on this, and it seems like some work, and some don't. I had issues with this radio over a year ago, and things were fixed. I was also told by Ucoonect that GPS and satellite radio has nothing to do with Uconnect, but now they say I can lose my GPS w/o this update ? Sorry for the long post, but this has been, and still is a very frustrating system. But Uconnect did tell me that I had 4 re-calls on the truck and if I was aware of them... I really not fond of dealers and really don't want to go that route and have to pay for something like this. Does anyone know what happens if you just leave it like it is ? I don't care if the GPS is updated or not, don't use any of the fancy features it offers. Also makes me wonder if updates are more of a hassle if your NOT a Uconnect subscriber ? I sure miss the old "non tech" days.
Thanks.
