12/13/2013: New Update Available! (Should allow for communication with APPS via mobile).
There is also an update to the uConnect Access APP for your smartphone.
THE FOLLOWING IS REQUIRED IN ORDER TO UPDATE:
- The EXTRACTED Update File (swdl.iso).
- A BLANK USB Thumb Drive (now recommended to be at least 4GB).
(Make sure there are NO files on the USB Drive.)
STEP 1: DOWNLOAD THE UCONNECT UPDATE
Official uConnect Update Site (via VIN Number):
https://rsur.extra.chrysler.com/rsur/Uconnect.do
(If the above site is used, make sure to run the self-extracting .exe which is downloaded, and put ONLY the extracted .iso file onto the USB drive!)

(If you've updated to any previous versions, it is the same process.)
Follow the on screen prompts to install the update.
The update should take approximately 10-15 minutes to complete.
IMPORTANT INSTALLATION NOTES & FAQ:
- Make sure if you download the update file from a link other than the official uConnect site, that you download the proper file for your radio (RA3 file for RA3 radio, RA4 file for RA4 radio etc.).
- If your radio has been swapped out due to a problematic unit, I highly advise that you attempt the update while your service department is open. If they improperly swapped a radio from another stock vehicle, the VIN may not match and it will ask for an unlock code.
- There is a self-check during the beginning of the installation that will alert you if you're using the wrong region/version.
- If your radio reboots itself at all during installation, this is fine. It should continue the installation process without issue.
- You may notice some settings missing at first, but they will come back shortly (usually within a few minutes).
- Give the radio up to 24 hours to allow it to communicate with other modules and restore everything to how it was.
- If the update fails or seems to hang for longer than 20 minutes on one single module during installation, you can restart the installation. (note: your radio will be inoperative until the installation has been restarted).
