Anyone else lose the built in Pandora, iHeartRadio and Aha apps? I called uconnect support and they told me the app are no longer being supported, they're dropping ViaMobile and use to the phone apps streamed over bluetooth.

Personally, I liked using ViaMobile. Could control everything from the headunit without fumbling with my phone while driving. Seems like a step backwards IMO.

2015 sport, just got my update last week and still have all apps available in the app screen on my 8.4 radio. However, when i log into my uconnect app, i only have pandora available to me. I use pandora only, so thats odd...... and it is still working as normal.

Here's a question... I don't recall seeing this one yet so I apologize if it's repeated. Are those of us who upgraded to the RA3/4 units from the 5.0 or less ever going to get the OTA update? Since it seems to be VIN based I'm thinking not with their records showing a different radio then currently installed in my truck. If not, then how?

Got mine couple weeks ago. Uconnect log in worked for a bit, then stopped altogether. When it was working, Pandora would only play 2 or 3 songs still. Haven't tried since. Don't remember what all the update addresses.

So I have a 2014 8.4 with nav, I loaded the update onto a usb from my Mac and plugged it in... it says do you want to update APP as from 16.13.13 to 16.13.13..
Is my truck not capable of getting the 17.11.07 update?

You downloaded the 16.13.13 update. The 17.x.x update is not available for download yet, only OTA.

If your radio was installed from the factory (not a DIY upgrade) it "should" prompt you to install the update over the air. Just follow the on screen Directions to upgrade.

This update is CRAP

Yeah drag and drop is ok, but there are SIGNIFICANT problems:

1. While playing music via BT, if i shut off the ignition and attempt to reconnect, it won't work. I have to go into settings and disconnect the BT paired audio device and then reconnect
2. All music on a SD card now plays alphabetically rather than in order. This is obnoxious, especially when trying to listen to recorded concerts that need to be played in order.
3. BT connection time is SIGNIFICANTLY slower.
4. When answering a BT connected phone, it will answer but then kick the audio to the device and refuse to connect.

I wish I could roll back to the last working version which came out two years ago.

re #4. I haven't had problems connecting to bluetooth phone. Could be the download got corrupted somehow .. maybe this can be corrected at the dealer.

I haven't used features corresponding to #s1-3 with the Jeep.

Received the email about 2 weeks ago. My 16 was updated 2 days ago. Did not notice any difference. Still have all my apps. My 14 was updated today. This was the big change for my 14. I now have the drag and drop. Still have all my apps. The one thing I wanted the most out of the update was ability to turn rear camera on at any time. The icon is not there like on my 16. But happy with everything else.

Received the email notification the 1st week of Sept and my 2014 finally updated yesterday. No problems thus far. I do like the drag n drop feature and also I can now change the background light color in the themes from the yellow/orangeish to a blue.....
