UConnect Software Update Received--What's in it?

[PowrRam]

Once again time for my weekly email, phone call, and (hopefully) Twitter response to a UConnect tweet.

I've been doing the same thing minus the Twitter. I'm so freaking sick and tired of the ******** from uconnect.

Crossing my fingers for good news. I'd really like to know what music sounds like again

Same here bud. They aren't even replying to me anymore and my phone social skills are non existent so I try to steer clear of the calls. I haven't even heard a peep from @ramcares in forever come to think of it.

I have a friend that was about to drop $40k on a new 2018 until I told him about the UConnect issues. He's looking at other options now.

Id be interested to see what a salesman says when you test drive a brand new 2018 (or presumably a 2019 Classic) and comment on how crappy the audio sounds......then tell them you wont buy it unless its fixed.

Has anyone tried loading an older version of the software on a USB stick and see if you can "upgrade" to the older software?

I dont have a dog in this fight but my understanding is that the first thing the update process does is check to make sure its newer than what is already installed. If its older, the flash process wont even start.

It sure would have been nice (for everyone, not just those with crappy audio now) if UConnect gave the ability to go backwards even if it required some special process.

While my truck was in the shop getting the radio replaced they gave me a 2019 as a loaner, the stereo sounded great.

Yeah yeah lol

 

[musicwatkins]

What I meant was, compared to the **** sound of my 2018 the 2019 stereo sounds great.

Did anyone get any credible information from the incompetent folks at uconnect??? I didn't.

Well after suffering with you guys since the very beginning my truck stereo exploded today.... I presume this ****** update was sending bad signals to the amps? All I know is I was driving down the road then *boom* the volume is beyond 100% distorted and loud. I reset the vehicle and nothing helps. Even when I was on the phone with the dealer my uconnect gave me a speed limit warning and almost blew the speakers. I drop her back off on Monday. Worst and most expensive vehicle purchase of my life. I think this coupled with the ****** air-ride issues is finally pushing me to the point of paying an attorney. That’s less than the $10,000 I’m upside down on it. I can’t even trade the damn thing in! I’ll update if the dealer works some kind of magic and calms me down.

I doubt the dealer can do anything even if they get you a new radio they come with the crap application.I replaced my uaq with a tried and true 8.4 an of course you loose carplay.if I knew the uaqs went to crap I would have went with a truck optioned differant.

This whole situation is unbelievable

Pretty soon it will be 3 months since UConnect screwed up our stereos. I think I will call Chrysler Capital (bank originating my lease) and also my dealer and see if I can get out of my lease.

Pretty sure I won't be able to without losing a lot of money but I figure raising the possibility of breaking the lease will definitely highlight the problem with UConnect and my stereo.

I would have replied with "as soon as I can replace my truck with one from a company that doesnt kill their radios and ignore ever fixing them".
