Never did hear back from Dodge Cares on the issues with this release. 2nd time now Uconnect has sent out a release that broke something, but never corrected the problem, even in subsequent releases.
Don't understand why FCA doesn't put the hammer to them to correct what they've screwed up !!
Yeah... when are they going to fix IAT temp in speedo vs radio? Been waiting on that, for years.

Oh!

I'll go take a look at what's going on, over there.

Sorry, I deleted my post after I realized you already downloaded 18.45.01 from the uconnect site. At first, I was thinking it was the OTA that messed you up. Won’t hurt to check out jeepgarage, though. A lot more has been written about it over there.

I waited until the forced update...scheduled it, it didn't run, then the reminder message yesterday..allowed it to do it on the spot...FAILED. Went in and pulled it off the net and it took this time. 25 minutes of fuel efficient idle time :sleep:

I’m starting to think these OTA’s are regional.
I agree. Mine just updated yesterday OTA. Florida.

No... you got it right. The ota messed things up. I'll have to find the download, later today.

Thanks brother.

Make sure you use a freshly formatted usb (still 4gb minimum, I think) and follow the directions exactly.

Not sure if rayzazoo's link includes the directions, but the directions and the update file are available here, too. Good luck.

Well... the UConnect site told me to download & install 18.50.01 <EDIT: 18.45.01>. So i did, this evening.

So far, so good.

GPS/NAV works fine. Performance pages seem to have better resolution, as well as the SRT landing page. NAV still looks cheesy, but hell... it works :)

I'll keep this thread updated, if I find any glitches.

Yea I did that update in November. Like you I thought the performance pages looked sharper. No real changes in the navigation.

Not that I had any notifications, but when taking the Challenger out for its last trip of the year yesterday, I wanted to get the oil temp to show on the screen. After all, the whole idea was to get the oil warm and then change it.

For whatever reason, the performance pages wouldn't load. I'm guessing something was updating.
After the oil change, they finally came up. Better late than never, I suppose.

The only way navigation will change is if you pay the HERE company $150 for already outdated maps and suffer through a one hour convoluted installation process.

Yeah... no.

I owned my 6.1 for 12 years and only ever installed the nav in motion hack. Who needs address updates. LOL.

Well... uconnect never fails to disappoint.

I haven't nailed down the parameters, yet... but when I double tap the SRT button,to set my custom drive mode, the screen appears and nothing happens.

All of the settings "appear", but the vehicle runs like it's in default mode, but clearly indicates custom mode... and I get a warning stating: "Level currently unable to change."

Really? What a mess.

Hey @DodgeCares ...UConnect isn't doing FCA any favors by consistently compromising the integrity of our vehicles.

Someone needs to come up with a plug and play cell delete...

This is an intermittent failure. Like I said, I haven't nailed down the parameters... yet.

18.45.01 sucks... at least in my case.

My car still refuses to do the OTA update, and hasn't for a very long time now.

For now, I'm happy it wont, and I won't be doing it manually either.
