Z47 recall to fix camera also updates radio, fixes other problems

[06 Dodge]

Had this recall done today, I was surprised to find out that as part of the software update to fix the backup camera it also fixes radio & other problems like compass only working part time, the new software version for the radio is 145.00.15 Oh was also told my truck came with the wrong software version so I wonder how many other have the same problem due to having the wrong code installed

Just curious :

your 2022 Bighorn 6.7 CTD Crew Cab Short Box 4x4
would be a 4th Generation Ram made in Saltillo Mexico

are the 4th Gen & 5th Gen Infotainment Systems the same ?

==========================
below is ancient history
I don't know much about the Infotainment Systems made after 2012
Up to the time that the first 2013 Rams came out, that thing in the center of your dashboard, was actually a AM/FM/CD Player with Sirius Radio.
The radio was called a MYGIG Radio
Dodge Rams & Jeep Grand Cherokee, because of these vehicles sophisticated Electronics, they needed what is called a HIGH SPEED CANBUS.
All of Chryslers other vehicles had a Low Speed Canbus

In 2013, when FCA took over,
The Electronics were more advanced
They made 4 models

RA1 3" screen, very basic Radio

RA2 5" video screen, that could be connected up to a tailgate camera

RA3 8.4" video screen, with the above functions, ( it also had the capability of having Navigation, for a large fee )

RA4 8.4 video screen with Navigation already installed

around 2018, the new Infotainment Systems came out

They are actually a secondary computer that has a radio incorporated in it

The RA4 also added the ability to receive HD (broadcast digital) radio stations. I went with an RA4 instead of the RA3 when I upgraded specifically for that.

I went with the RA4 also
I needed the Navigation to find Customers Properties

TRY delivering a TREE or other large Object



or a section of a Tower on a Wind Powered Generator



or the BED of a MINING TRUCK

I always enjoined watching the wind mills parts like above along with the 100 foot blades making the turn onto the ramp to the freeway...

I have been told the 2019 up are 4.5 generation not sure if that's true, as for my radio all I know is its 8.4 with connected services delete, I assume somethings are removed in software or OBD turned off..
