Hi Julie...

I would like to report that I recently updated to 17.43.01 in my 2017 Ram 1500 Bighorn, and I noticed that the "Display Themes" no longer work. The theme that the car is stuck on I think is #1 "Orange" and can't be changed to any of the other themes. I was going through the setup menu section by section after the update, was playing with various settings, and found I could change my original "Blue theme" to the #1 theme as a test, but when I went to change it back, it wouldn't work, and still does not. All other aspects seem to be working fine. Please pass this along to the proper people.

Thanks

Brahma
