So today my 8.4 has gone nuts. The clock is stuck at 835 and a whole bunch of the settings won’t set.

By that I mean if I try and set something like Tilting Mirrors on Reverse, it changes but then instantly changes back.

Try and change the clock and if does the same thing.

Try and set the volume of the parking sensors and it does the same thing.

Temperature outside is also stuck on zero. :(.

Looks like I’m off to the dealer tomorrow.

Grr. Not happy Jan.

Did you try the reboot steps for the 8.4?

Reboot steps? I guess that could have an effect but if my truck was going that bezerk, I’d be off to the dealer myself.

Computers are weird sometimes. Sometimes something as simple as rebooting the computer or disconnecting the battery can get rid of gremlins.

They are. Rebooting is even a major recommendation for laptops and smartphones but I would think that his Uconnect going that much *******, something has to be contributing to that but I could be wrong, it may just need a simple reboot.

I was just recommending the dealer because it’s new, and it’s under warranty. Best to let them look at it anyways.

I’m off to the dealer this morning. There should never be a reason why am owner of a $109,000 truck should have to disconnect his own battery to reset some settings. FFS!

Here's hoping everything gets sorted, AJ...you're too good a member to loss to Brand X, Ford or whatever other full-size competition they sell down in Oz.

I love my RAM. I’ve always wanted one, and nothing is perfect. So hopefully the update sorts it all out and I can continue to RAM it down under. [emoji41]
