The automakers need to get out of the infotainment business all together, just give me the technology to mirror the screen on my smart phone and be done with it. Leave some knobs/touch screen areas for climate control and go from there.

Don't feel too bad that your wife's audi has android auto and Apple carplay. My friend brought over his 2017 Honda Civic the other day and showed me the cool features in his cheap $20k econobox. The freaking thing had Apple Carplay and Android Auto from the factory. Meanwhile, my 60k truck has been promised those features since 2015...

Yup... was another empty promise from the dealer that my 2015 would get a software update shortly after purchasing to support Carplay. I got an email from the dealer promising me that it was coming back when I bought the truck and I must reply to it once a month asking where the update is.
And now Hyundai is giving free updates to cars back to 2014 to support it...

has anyone received the update yet?

 

[g00fy]

well, the update is 17.11.07... I wonder if it'll be rolled out 07-11-17

Nerp, haven't seen it yet.

I have not seen anything on this yet on MY 2015 Longhorn either...still waiting (over 2 years now) for the dealer "promises" to come true!! Ugh.

So this is not for 2016s? My menu bar is already drag and drop, but the only one I brought down was travel link for gas station information, etc.

What would happen if I tried to install a new update for a different (newer) vin to my older 15?

 

[EcoD Jeff]

How would you get the update for the newer model? I would think that ability to update the software is tied to the existing version of the software. I think it would error out, but if you're brave enough to attempt it, please let us know how that works out.

 

[hillbilli]

If you got ahold of a different version and tried to update yours, it would not take or it could possibly brick your radio, there is hardware specific codes the update looks for

 

[XX@GGG]

OK, won't risk that... I put a vin from autotrader website into the uconnect update site, downloaded UCONNECT_8.4AN_RA4_16.33.29_MY16.exe but don't have the nerve to try to install it, especially after the mention of bricking.

 

[Crash68]

^^ what he said
The update verifies the hardware type and software version prior to installation. It either won't recognize the update or reject it for not being correct.
Sometimes software/firmware updates are packaged "all in one", the same file will update multiple models, there is loader information in the update file that instructs which parts of the update to load.

Yea I tried to play this game, the radio just rejects the update as the wrong software.

Old thread, but my wife's Charger just updated while she was driving. Lost all radio and AC and such as she was driving. So FCA is rolling it out.

 

[Boxcab]

Mine updated a few days ago. Didn't lose any settings that I could see. It moved some of the buttons around, and the the icon of the truck on the map changed. Oh, and Nan lost her taskmistress voice and now sounds seductive when upbraiding me. I haven't tried my iPod Classic to see if it will play albums.

 

[mjmck]

I still haven't seen this on my truck. Is there any way you can check the current Operating System? Honestly besides the radio and my phone controls I have not explored any deeper into the radio unit.

 

[hillbilli]

Settings-about will tell you the current OS version

 

[Randy4]

Mine was updated a couple of days ago. I'm having a few issues and can't figure it out, I'm not too tech savy, so......be easy on me, lol.

1. While in phone mode, when I go to contacts, they're sorted by first name instead of last name. It was sort by last name before the update. My phone's are sorted by last name.

2. My music is on a USB flash drive. After the update, the songs on the albums are sorted alphabetically instead of the order on the album. Kinda screws up Dark Side of the Moon and The Wall...lol Before the update, it played the order on the album.

3. After listening to an album, instead of advancing to the next album, it repeats the same album. And no, the Repeat is not engaged.

Can anyone help me please?
Thanks in advance.
