It says I'm up to date!! How can that be?
I want the 17.11XX so I can run the cargo cam.
Will I also be able to update maps with 17.11XX?

Called Uconnect Canada today. They say only the stealer can perform the update and that would take me to 17.43.01
Will the cargo cam still function with that software?

So can I just install a switch on the signal of the backup cam to switch to a cargo cam?
Use a double pole and switch the power on to the cargo cam at the same time.

bighorn. I Think I still have that update on my thumb drive. I hade to do a 14 xx.xx to 17.xx.xx to 18.xx.xx last fall. THANKS TO THIS PAGE FOR THE LINKS. What version are you coming from? I also got the red and blue themes when I updated, enabled apps with alpha. It was a nice leap

I have 14.05.3 at the moment. The big problem is that it has to be the Canadian/Mexico software and not the US stuff. I did install the switch and can use either the backup or cargo cam with just the flip of a switch. I just want it for backing up to my 5th wheel and would not have the tailgate on when doing that so it should work well.

I have spent the last two days reading the various threads about software upgrades and cargo cams. Brain is about to explode!!
I have a 2014 3CNAV VP4 CA. I believe from what I have read is that I need 17.11xx software to run the cargo cam?
The only Canadian software I can find is from the 200 forum https://www.200forums.com/threads/uconnect-version-17-11-07-canada-and-mexico-cars-only.57778/
Will the 2015 200 software work in my 2014 Ram radio?

Ok so I think I made a mistake. I used 8.4AN_RA4 17.11.07_MY15 , and then i loaded VP4_18.45.01_MY13-17. Loaded in a canadian 2015 sport. VIN 1C6RR7UT5FS526977 if you want to put it in the ram owners site and check all the build stats against yours. If you want the zip files im pretty sure I got them here. And since alfa has such a large cbc 2014 section, it may or may not take it. But i can send them to you. Dont forget to get your PIN from the dealer and be ready to sit in your truck for 30 min blocks.

That's a great question. I enabled apps. The NAV was already functioning. I remember enabling the turn display for the EVIC also. After that I cant really remember. Ive done so much with the alfa software its ridiculous. (Including grenade the computer once messing with the air suspension) RAM reset it and i got it right the next try lol. I had to disable the CD player once after one of the updates. I dont know how that got added in the software....

Gixxer, Would I also be able to grab those files? I have a Canadian WK2 that I just bought that currently has the 14.25.5 software and the stealership charged me $200 to tell me they CANT UPDATE IT!

Asshats. They did that **** to me for an estimate. Then they held it histafe and threatened to tow if I didn't pay for and stigmata that I knew the problem and solution, just needed an official written repair cost....sorry tangent. Yes I do have both. I followed grims instructions. I'll start figuring out how to share the file.

Open to suggestions

I'm about as tech savvy as an infant. I'll clear some space and give it a go. Trying to make a link through Samsung failed

Thanks Gixxer750 I also downloaded the files. Is there instructions someplace on here as to how to upload the files into the truck? Maybe dm12345 you could post a short step by step? :)
I sure don't want to brick my unit.
Mechanical stuff I can do all day long including wiring but software stuff is always a mystery.

Best i recall from February...make sure you unzip the file if it is in zip format. Then go out to the truck and turn it on? Lot of idling. The same instructions I used are posted after the links. So unplug everything from your media center. Plug the USB into the charger slot *not positive on that. It will auto download the 5 or 6 files and you'll be good to go about 30 mins later. Then the next one. And get your rf hun pin from the dealer. But that's not specific at all, read the bottom link instructions. They worked on the current and 16.11 01 version from 14 43.xx?
