This needs to be in General discussion! I will start another thread over there to. Looks like the mods moved it. hey mods this is important, please move it back to general disc so everybody opens the thread.

Yeah I was surprised it was moved to Audio... Should stay in General so more people will see it.

Start the truck, insert the flash drive, it should ask you if you want to upgrade, you tap yes, then it validates that it is okay, then it proceeds with the upgrade. The screen goes to a strange gray color then it starts to load the new software. Then it restarts the UConnect. Keep the USB in place then it will ask you to upgrade, make sure that it is trying to upgrade from the same version that is already installed. Tap no, turn off the truck then you are done. It went smooth for me.

The download file is a .exe correct? This download program BS and browser compatibility is ******** and confusing. WTF is Akamai?

After downloading the file, when hovering the mouse over it the Company says: Igor Pavlov

Another wtf?

Anyone also see this? I don't want Ivan Vanko taking over my truck at the Stark Expo.

Screw the Akamai thing; on the very last page, there is a direct download link to download the actual exe ("MY13_MY14_RA3_15_26_1.exe" and about 300-ish MB).

Checksums of the file I got (maybe they're different depending on VIN, though):

MD5: 3F67B24A6C0E3ED1D89640F2949AAB44

SHA-1: E76B1F048921457CE7C57C1FBB89A7D1DF248F2F

SHA-256: 01C115D4963F4080AE4E08D71FB0DD2087B5F640D2E7C63C8A399DF4CF358C97

SHA-512: 10D59F053AF977434A895904A5500C9C3FA05281E182D87BFDCF73C0EFDA5EFFB10C71213648C38610682960A076742AF662EA757726AEB69324139BCD2EBBD4

Make me glad my OLD '07 Commander is practically analog - it has an in-dash 6 disc changer, for crying out loud! :roflsquared:

Yeah, no need to use the downloader crap! Just read the instructions carefully...there is a a direct link to the self extracting iso file that you need! Just extract it directly yo your EMPTY flash drive when prompted. When you are down extracting, the only thing on your flash drive should be swdl.iso

Pop the drive in the truck and let the magic happen!

Did mine yesterday, easy peasy, not much difference for anything as far as I can tell, I was hoping my FM radio would get better reception, but no luck.

FYI, mine did not load by it self, I had press the USB option/button on my radio for it to start the upload.

Yeah, sometimes you have to push the USB button or cycle the ignition while the drive is inserted.

I went directly to the download file but when I look at the file info it says Igor Pavlov under the company. Just thought that was odd.
