I'm still lurking around here from time to time haha, just don't post much since I traded my express in for a sport model. It really has everything I wanted so not much to mod / mess with :)

Also been working with my dad on his F150. Modding and adding parts to that thing is so easy using the ForScan software to add/remove computer codes. Wish we had free software like that for the Ram.

Still nothing on my 2014 VIN...I wonder if they are gonna roll it out by year newest to oldest with 2013 radios being last?

I wonder if they'll update the 13+ to the android auto like what's in the Pacifica.... Naw I'd be dreaming if that were the case

I tried at least a dozen 2016 VINs, still not available. All were US based. The one above notes the location as Toronto, perhaps only available for non-cellular based radios at this time?

--update-- checked a couple 2016 Canada RA4's, both them showed as up to date as well.

So.. dunno how that is showing for you but it does say the 17.11.07 is for the 8.4A RA3 where the 16.33.29 update above it shows for an 8.4AN RA3

But then again the folks at Uconnect are not the brightest bulb in the box.. I wonder if they even know what they posted.. LOL

It may only show for those that should have received the OTA push already. I have tested about 25 VINs (mix of US and Canada trucks) and have not been able to get it..

Good eye...I wouldn't trust it! I'd sooner get a copy from a forum member who has flashed my same model and year.

I talked to a guy that works at a dealership and he pulled up the update system for me. The 17.11.07 is now available in the dealer's download center (it wasn't when it first rolled out). Each update had some status information like release date, applicability, etc. They also list an update method for both customer and dealer. Typically both say "software download", but 17.11.07 is blank for "customer". This is probably why nobody gets it coming up in a search.

One interesting thing we found is that there is a different release number and a different file for each year. So, even though it was said this update is the same across all radios, I don't think that's the case. Maybe the image at the end ends up being the same and the difference is just to account for different bootloaders. I'm not sure.

Could be that I am located in Canada that the download is valid for my VIN.

Hmm. I've tried a few canadian Ram vins of various years and I'm not getting the 17.11.07 update for me. Tried a few other FCA products too, same result.

I've read before your VIN is eligible for the update, Ram will be sending an email prior to the update being avaliable
