Up popped a message today on my video screen saying the uconnect needed to do a software update, that should take approx. 20 minutes.

After a 60 minute successful download I discovered that all my station presets where reset, and my stored favorites where now gone.

This successfully pissed me off.


Beware of update you may loose everything.

Yeah, these updates seem to break more than they ever fix.

Don't forget to turn on your auto play features

Default is off

I am not sure what this is or how to turn it on, any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

it is a setting in the menu,
Just go through it and you will find the Auto play, just set it to on
That way if you put a USB drive in it will automatically play

I think it is where the themes are, there are like 8 or 9 themes you can choose from

I’ve yet to get a software update on mine. (2017 Laramie 1500). I assume the radio will just tell you when it’s ready?

Yes or you can go to the Chrysler Uconnect website and type in your VIN and it will bring up the new software update. You can then download it into an empty USB stick and then load it into your radio that way.

Lost all my settings too. Deleted my phone from Bluetooth, changed the highlights to blue and changed the background. Haven't had time to check out the settings yet, hope I can change some back to the way they were.

Oh, and mine only shows one theme as an option. Maybe because it's a '13.

EDIT: I take that back, just went out and played with it in the driveway. I now have 7 themes to pick from. Must be it just needed more time to install the other night.

Hello King nothing,

I’m not really interested in paying the dealer to fix something that Chrysler/Uconnect’s update screwed up in the first place. I feel like Chrysler should take care of it since their update screwed it up
