After the update, when I pair with my same phone from before the update (Blackberry Priv) with the stereo, it will interrupt all audio playback until I disconnect my phone from Bluetooth. I have tried the factory reset, and forgetting the unit from my phone, and visa-versa, but still won't let me listen to audio while the phone is connected through Bluetooth. I tried to pair my wife's Galaxy S7, and it works perfectly. Anyone else having this issue, or know of a fix?

I have a blackberry priv as well (I'm kinda in disbelief someone else has one too) and everything works flawlessly. Maybe there is a way to do a hard reset on the radio to repair your phone.

Edit:
Actually I take back that everything works flawlessly. My radio will not notify me when I receive a text in a group message. Is that a common issue with all phones on the Uconnect?

I’m in the same boat. I can’t imagine they finish the updates by that deadline.

No OTA update for me either.

The one and only
I haven't read the entire 11 pages on this update but want to let you know what I'm going through now.
I selected 'install update' in I believe late June and followed the instruction to not turn off the radio for 15-20 minutes to allow completion and rebooting of the system.
During the update the screen goes dark and instructions appear saying to leave the radio on for the 15-20 minutes, etc. A white bar appears below the instructions and goes blue as the update progresses.
On my truck the update bar goes All blue but then never completes the reboot and stays on the update screen. It never comes back to the radio/controls screen unless I shut the truck off for several minutes and as soon as I turn the truck on the update will start within 3-5 minutes and take over my screen for the duration of a trip unless of course I stop and shut down for several minutes.
This takes away all controls not also on the dash as mechanical buttons or steering wheel. So, gone is climate contrl, pairing another phone or device, etc.
I have a case started with UConnect and the lady was very pleasant but says I'll have to take it to the dealer for service. UConnect will cover the re-flash, repair Or replacement of the radio and the $100 F*** Y** fee the dealer charges to just diagnose. But I'll have to pay the $100 and file with Uconnect for reimbursement.
After this engine fiasco and getting the truck back with a missing part between the rod and brake booster which led to the pedal going almost to the floor to get brakes I'm so sick of this effing truck(mostly the d-bag adviser Trent at the dealership) that I'd rather drive it with the dicked up radio than go to the dealer again.
BTW, the tech who worked my truck was awesome, apologized for missing the part on the re-install and was super gracious. Would take my truck to him any day but would rather not even see the adviser I worked with. Funny, but while I was waiting to talk to Trent last week another customer was reaming his ass about not being straight up with him on repair time and when he could pick up his vehicle. The customer appeared to be a high-tech support guy of some sort and needed his vehicle to get on-site for customers... I'm guessing computer or factory automation based on the guys I've worked with for almost 30 years. Anyway... the guy shows up for his vehicle and it wasn't done.... the guy asked Trent why his car wasn't done, when you say pick it up Wednesday and its Wednesday and you didn't call to say Thursday it 'effs up my day and my week'. So that's Trent at Dewey in Ankeny IA.

Can't take the truck to another dealer? If not, register a complaint about Trent the douche bag. Do yourself and others a solid!

Mine has 800 miles on it...just had the 8.4AN entire head unit replaced due to a "vehicle phone requires service" error and it popped up before I even left the parking lot of the dealership.
I never got any updated version to install...and the dealer never mentioned flashing it.
I'm also getting very frustrated with this 8.4 system (which I normally absolutely love).
I'm starting documentation on each and every single thing that is done to this system. I'm not paying 50K for a truck to have these issues.
To top it all off...it came from the factory with this issue...ugh.
I was still running the lower version and never got any update notification throughout August.
I'm also guessing mine will never get the over the air update as my vehicle internal phone (connection) isn't working.

Camera option is great **** for sure!! The themes/ wallpapers and colors are OK. Not the greatest selection and by OK I actually mean lame imho. Now if we could flash or bluetooth send a pic or background that we want.. That would be awesome. (at no additional cost)
Long story short. You're missing out on the camera and that's about it.

Received same email. I've never received the "Uconnect about to get an update..." message and think many here have not as well. ... I wonder if FCA thinks the updates are not going in because owners are refusing the update.

No email here so I’m not holding my breath. It’ll show up at some point in the future I suppose. I really wish they’d just put the download online so we can just do it ourselves if we didn’t want to wait on the OTA.
