I like my radio fine so I am not going to do the update. I disabled the cell feature so it will not do it over the air. I suppose if I have problems I can reconnect it but I don't like my truck calling home without me knowing about it.

Reviving a somewhat old thread. My 2017 RA4 has radio version 17.9, and the uconnect website shows 17.11 available. I can download to install manually, but I am curious why it hasn't updated automatically. I'm also curious why it was not updated at the dealer since this came out in September and I purchased in December 2017.

I already have all of the features listed on the first page (as far as I can tell), so I don't know if I should mess with a good thing.

There was not much difference in 17.09 vs 17.11. You can go to the dealer and have them update. Reason it was not done at purchase, can't say. But I suspect its common. Who wants to wait around for dealer to refresh a radio. They want you off their lot as soon as possible.

The OTA update happens on its own. I believe they rolled out the OTA update prompt based on VIN #. You can wait, bring it to dealer or download off the website onto a USB stick and do it in your drive way yourself.

I wouldn't worry about doing the update unless you have problems. Nothing earth shattering was included. Don't worry.....You'll get the update alert on your radio in the most inopportune time LOL.

2016 RAM 2500 with Customtronix RAX hack installed running Jailbreaker-16.33.2936-NA-MY16-For-VP4-NA. Upon my UConnect update prompts, I immediately sent out an email to Magnus & he got right back in touch. He sent me a download link for the updated jailbreak version 17.11 and stated there was no need for rollback or token file and to simply put the new version on thumb drive, Update the Nav, and install the new Jailbreaker 17.11

So with that said, after accepting the UConnect update which only took about 4 minutes on my system, I still had all my original jailbreak features in tact. Even my custom splash screen of a Bighorn Sheep remained at startup. So I lost nothing Customtronix wise with the forced update. Contacted Magnus again and he said to just go all the way anyway with the newer version hack.....

BostonBighorn, so, what you're saying is once you have the Customtronix system, you're safe from any "updates"? I've read that their systems won't work with any firmware versions over 16.51, but any version less than that is okay. but, once the auto updates are preformed to 17.11, you can no longer get the lockpick set up they sell?? I currently have 15.31 firmware on my 2015 limited and want to buy the Customtronix lock pick, if I do it NOW, I'll be alright, but if I wait till the update I'm screwed and can't buy the lockpick??

just don't want to spend the money, then find out I bought a "pet rock"....

I still have not received the OTA update. I guess I'll just let it go or if I ever have to visit the dealer let them do it. I'm not messing w/ the USB, etc. method.

I disconnected the cell antenna on the back of the radio. I believe it is the purple one

Mark

how did you disable the cell feature?

Do you have navigation? If so, does it work without the wireless card functioning?

 

[markgrue]

No I have not activated the navigation but the gps antenna is separate. It would not update of course but the gps should work. There are a total of 4 antennas. GPS, cell, satellite radio, and am-fm radio

Thanks for the reply. It's my understanding the navigation feature is dependent upon the wireless card even though it uses the the GPS antenna for satellite acquisition. The Sierra 3G wireless card has failed in my uconnect and the GPS no longer functions properly. I was just wondering what would happen if the cell antenna was completely disconnected. I think I already know the answer, but wish I didn't.

Well it looks like ver 17.43.01 hit the ground yesterday. Anyone know what is in that 1.4GB?

 

[g00fy]

I assume this is for RA3 units? I looked up updates for my 2016 RA4, last update listed is from May 2017

 

[Molson150]

I just updated my radio to that yesterday. I cannot see any feature differences but the update went smooth.

It lists the TSB as 08-046-18 but I cannot find anything related to what it contains.

I did USB and it took less than 30 min for my truck.
