I've had 3 different UAS v21.9 radios in my 18 Laramie CC with factory UAS and Alpine and haven't noticed any of the reported sound quality Issues (usually have bass at +1 ). Fluke or not?

Quick question for you UAS v21.9 folks that reported the poor audio...

Do you have the standard 6 speaker system or the amplified Alpine system?

What is your cab config? 2dr /4dr ?

What is the hardware pn of your radio as reported from within the dealer menu?
ie: CVRC27NOGL (All 3 I've had)



M² Mods.

My truck is a 2018 CTD Crew Cab, standard 6 speaker configuration. My radio P/N is CVRC27N0GL w/application version 21.9. When this update was pushed to my truck in September of 2018 my sound quality went to hell. Also, the EQ version is 3.4.

I am the OP of this thread. I had the distorted audio with application version 21.9. I now have undistorted, good sounding stereo with application version 22.6.

I have the standard 6 speaker system. Four door crew cab Big Horn. My hardware part number is CVRC27NOGL.

Now if only the UAQ units could get the same treatment...

Anyone update a uas in a retrofitted pre 18 truck yet?friend of mine had a 2017 uas and we couldn't get it to update with a file from the uconnect site.it said software not compatible with this vehicle even though we used the vin from the donor.don't know if the Panasonic radios somehow reads the vehicle make from the bcm for updates or if it was because it was a 300 radio and everything didn't work right.major functions worked but no ram home screen or themes of course because it was pre 18. And though it supported both usbs they where not shown in list when you said source usb.I know ra3 and 4s will update normal no matter which vehicle they are in.

I updated the UAS that I swapped into my 2015 Big Horn last night. The UAS came out of a 2019 Classic and had 22.5 on it. Updated to 22.6 with Mpgrimm's file and it definitely sounded better.

I'm technologically slow so will the dealer do the update? I know I'll have to pay, just wondering if they will.

If your truck is still under warranty, 3 years or 36,000 miles you should not need to pay. It looks like you have a 2016, so you don't need the update.

Hey Chris1911, I updated mine about a week ago and does sound great again but, I've noticed a little bit of lag that wasn't there before. Have you noticed that. When I play songs from my phone via bluetooth, when I hit play, pause or skip a song it takes a couple seconds to react. Definitely not that concerned, just kind of weird.

I have not driven anywhere since i did it, but i have always had some lag when playing music through bluetooth.

Does anyone have the UAQ update newer then 21.9?
My new UAQ shipped with 22.5 but the incoming message and speed limit warning volume still will not stay when adjusted and the speakers occasionally sound blown which did not until removing my RA4 and installing the UAQ.
