Hi,

Could you tell me if I have the latest software for my 2018 ram 1500 limited?

Thank you in advance!!
You do have the latest and there will likely be no further updates for that radio unless there is a major safety recall.

Any snowballs chance someone can assess my system and inform me as to whether there's anything for it? 2020 Laramie ORP 8.4" No nav.
I'm not even sure how to go about it if there even are updates. I did the one in my 2011 but that was allot easier. I've been looking for two days just to get into the dealer menu. I have no temp hard buttons, it was only by chance I find a video instructing me to use the bottom corners of the touch screen.

PS: I read on another page that the 11.46.1 software version was non existent, but would indicate a much older and way outdated version of it did. But clearly it exists because, well.... look in the picture.

You'll need to list the "application version" to compare firmware BUT I believe you have a UAM radio and I have yet to see firmware files for it on any forum.

I have a 2018 Ram 1500 Express and bought a 8.4 Uconnect UAS from a 2021 Ram SLT classic, part #68481703AC back in May 2025. Everything works but I do not recieve any OTA updates. I had read that 2020 and newer can not be updated by USB. So 1) this is the version I have, which I know is not current and 2) do I need the updates? I have read the horror stories about radios being bricked...so? Any help/ideas would be greatly appriciated.

You can update to 40.1 (you're on 34.2). OTA not working is good (no manufacturer initiated bricking).

If you aren't experiencing issues I'd say no need to flash firmware.

Thanks, it's been just over a year since I installed it and I'm not having any issues so if it ain't broke, don't fix it. I also heard that because my radio came from a donor vehicle that mine would not recieve OTA updates anyway. Thanks again for responding!
