Been thinking about doing the reset or just yanking the fuse, but dread having to go thru & note all my settings so I can do them over :mad:
Basically Uconnect is :poop:

Well... I reloaded 18.45.01.

The only problem I'm left with is when i double tap the SRT button, to set my custom menu, I get an error message that says the system can't set the horsepower.

By default, red key is 700+ hp, but the system no longer recognizes this and it must be toggled, in the CUSTOM menu settings.

I've nailed this issue down to it intermittently dropping the 700+ hp setting. This is when I get the error.

I enter the CUSTOM menu setup and tap the 700+ hp soft button and when I return to the drive modes screen, the error is gone.

Wait for some random amount of time and I'll get the error message, when I double tap the SRT button. It happened 3x, today. Seems to be getting more frequent.

Whatever. Supposedly, this update only messed with the gps. Not... This was NEVER an issue, before the update.

Oh well... it is what it is.

After you re loaded 18.45 have you ever pulled the radio fuse?

Something didn't take on the update and that blows.

Good idea - IF I had a smartphone :whistle: I never upgraded from my old flip :eek: since there is no reception where I live.

Not the fuse, but a radio reset.

Same issue :(

I'll have to pull the radio fuse, this weekend.

This isn't necessarily a bad thing...

Thanks El Bob Ola. I have an warranty oil change in a month, so I will let one of the high price spread wrenches pull a plug. From last 6 months till this 6 month oil change. Car has managed to drive itself 270 miles. Average if you are dead. Called the service dept to confirm and the lady started laughing. At me or the car. Have 1.5 years then have to change dealers for warranty work. Extended warranty goes back to the purchasing dealership. 20 miles away. One now 1.5 all of miles away. I can beat the courtesy wagon home by walking stopping in for a totty at Pink Kitty Poodle.Ettes.

It's not illegal to use a camera to take photos with, yet.

Today the almighty Uconnect monster reared its ugly head when I drove my Ram 1500 some 100 feet, from the carport to the garage.
It wanted to schedule a time when I wouldn't be driving for a while. Okay, since the screen wouldn't disappear and I'd be busy installing better fog lights, I let the procedure start.

Later in the day, when ready to put it back in the carport, the screen said that the update was complete, and that the presets, paired phones, etc. would be gone. Crap!

Well, as far as I know, everything still works, thank God. I think that radio has nav, but I've never used or paid for it, so maybe that's why I got away with it...this time?

I have a screen on my '16 Cat that looks just like what Bob posted, but on my '18 Durango there is no software version # :mad:

Also, if you plan to update your system from a USB device (memory stick) make sure you format it before downloading the update or trying to apply it.
If there is any sort of stray file (even a hidden one) it can cause issues with the UConnect update software !!!
Hold drivers side temp up/down buttons and front defroster button for 5-7 seconds it will bring you to a dealer menu, you can see your version numbers there.

Is this doing an automatic update? (No warning or acceptance screen)

It was OK when I set off and about 10 minutes later I noticed the rear camera didn't come on. Far right button was Perf and has been replaced with the U, so I pressed it and got the please wait screen.

Buttons change to the relevant screens but no functions work. At least heating is set to 77, hard buttons don't seen to work as fan control had no effect but I can always open sunroof if gets too hot. Sat on drive for about 10 minutes, tried switching off and on again and then gave up and went indoors.

Shall I just go for a long drive to see if it finishes whatever its doing, I hope it doesn't delete my UK map.
