Uconnect Software Version

[Lola Bergo]

Didquite a bit of searching, and couldn't find anything on software upgrades for the 8.4 (not nav version). When I installed the UConnect software on my phone, it said there, "...there may be a software upgrade for your car's UConnect system and enables additional functionality..."

So I went online and entered by VIN, however their website is wrong. It correctly lists my car as a 2012 Dodge Journey AWD Crew, however it thinks my car should have a 4.3S and not the 8.4. Which doesn't make any sense is that the 2012 Crew trim came standard with 8.4 UConnect, so something is screwy with their VIN look-up.

Long story short, all I really want is the ability to control Pandora from the touch-screen on my Journey, is that too much to ask for 8.4 on a 2012? I saw some info on another Dodge forum with how to manually upgrade, but wanted to check on a Journey-specific forum first. If I understand the technology correctly, it's pretty cool. The update add an "app" section where you can launch Pandora from your 8.4 and see all your stations and such right on the touchscreen.

I will be attempting this myself. On the site I linked above there is a tutorial which seems pretty straight forward (tried putting the tutorial in this post but it contained too many pictures so I did not bother).

I'm in Canada and up here we don't have Pandoral (without some kind of workaround which I use on my phone) or the Uconnect app at all so these two things in particular would not be available to us Canadians anyway.

I can probably do this myself, but is there a charge for this update if I roll it in with an oil change at the dealership? Maybe this will finally get rid of my iPod skips. Seems like I may be the only one or one of the few who experience these. I plan to get the service manager involved in my skips issue if this does not fix the problem.

Installed the uconnect update today. Didn't rid my system of the skips/intermittent dropouts. Oh well. Decided to call the uconnect customer service line. They were only limited help. Said that the iPod classic has not been tested with uconnect. WTF? Also said that the presence of m4a files on my iPod may be causing incompatibility issues. What? IDK. Told me to load a USB stick with only mp3 files to see if uconnect still skips. Maybe I'll try this. I think I've lost my interest in pursuing updates or new hardware from the dealer.

As you know from reading my posts, I have gone through a lot of radio/nav problems. One of them being that when I request a song, the song is highlighted then skips to the next song, without playing the requested song. It was fixed on the original radio, but after having it replaced because of a navigation problem, the skipping has been an issue on every unit since.

If you find a solution to the skipping problem, please let us know. I think its just the iPod - uconnect interface. At least I know that its not just my radio so no need to waste time in the service department.

Question how do I get the latest updates for my dodge in China. I'm using a neutered 8.4N the neutering seems to be in the nav options and I'm thinking it is software related so can an update unlock the neutered features?

A few years ago we compared several of the best 44 packages on the market against one another in our , pitting the Ford SVT Raptor against the Ram Power Wagon, the Toyota Tacoma TRD Baja and the Nissan Frontier PRO-4X. The results of that contest weren't close, with the Raptor walking away from the others. For our 2015 44 Challenge, we've taken a different approach.

Things have changed since our 2012 test: Ford's Raptor has taken a year off and will return with an all-aluminum 2017 version next year; the Power Wagon has upgraded to a 6.4-liter Hemi V-8 with multiple new trim levels; and Toyota has created an all-new, more aggressive TRD Pro trim level for its Tundra, Tacoma and 4Runner. In addition, Ram has added a rugged and athletic Rebel that not only sports a new grille and tailgate treatment, it also includes quite a few other high-adventure-oriented features.

Our Inferno Red Toyota Tundra TRD Pro test truck had a base price of $45,045 (including a destination charge) and had relatively few options. All TRD Pros use the DOHC 32-valve all-aluminum 5.7-liter V-8 rated at 381 hp and 401 pounds-feet of torque. The engine was mated to a six-speed transmission and had 4.30:1 axle gears. The heart of the TRD Pro is underneath the truck; it comes standard with longer front coil springs that give the front end 2 inches of lift. The rear springs are unique as well and provide just more than 1 inch of additional lift to the rear; both front and rear springs are tamed with high-performance remote-reservoir Bilstein racing shocks specifically designed to absorb hard impacts to keep the wheels settled and calm even over the worst terrain. The Tundra TRD Pro has unique black-out exterior badging on the grille, the side of the truck and the tailgate, and a stamped TRD Pro logo in the bed; it also has true dual exhausts. The only optional pieces on our test Tundra were the drop-in bedliner ($365), adjustable tie-down hooks ($45) for the bedrails and the upgraded 285/70R17E BFG All-Terrain T/A KO tires and aluminum wheels ($3,290). All totaled, including a destination fee, out test pickup had a price of $48,700 and has an EPA-rated city/highway/combined fuel economy of 13/17/15 mpg.

We tested these trucks for several days on various California rock trails, hill climbs, and river washes at the Hungry Valley State Vehicular Recreation Area in Gorman. We then went to one of the largest sand dune areas in the country, Dumont Dunes in the Mojave Desert, pushing each truck (and our photographers) to their heat-stroke limits. Finally, we made our way to higher elevations at Big Bear Lake, in the San Bernardino National Forest, east of Los Angeles; the lake sits at 7,000 feet. We took both trucks on a meandering mountain trail mostly made of decomposed granite that wound through rain-soaked backcountry valleys and mountain peaks. Let's see how they performed.

Jeep and its legendary spirit are returning to the 86th Geneva Motor Show with a stand "packed" with history and excitement where the models of yesterday will meet those of today to celebrate the brand's 75th Anniversary. More than just an important achievement, this is also a milestone on the brand's ambitious future faced with the same determination which made 2015 the third consecutive year of sales success for the brand in the EMEA region and the fourth consecutive globally.

The history of Jeep is strewn with remarkable records and legendary models, starting from the unstoppable 1941 Willys-Overland MB and the famous 1945 CJ-2A (Civilian Jeep), which created the modern mass production off-road vehicle. Jeep also pioneered the Sport Utility Vehicle segment in 1946, with the launch of the Willys Wagon, featuring versatility and room for 7 persons. In addition, Jeep brand pioneered, as early as 1963, the "Premium Large SUV" class with the Jeep Wagoneer, and then again revolutionized the SUV segment with the introduction in 1984 of the Jeep Cherokee, the first SUV ever with a Unibody frame design.

To celebrate these and other Jeep milestones, visitors to the Motor Show will be shown three outstanding classic models: a 1941 Willys-Overland MB, a 1947 Willys Wagon and a 1963 Jeep Wagoneer. As further confirmation of Jeep's path from past to present, the new 75th Anniversary special editions will be showcased on the stand and available at dealerships across the region starting from the second quarter of 2016, featuring an exciting new livery, celebratory badge and exclusive interiors and equipment.

The Jeep legend continues with the debut of Cherokee Overland priceclass, the new top-of-the-range model that combines the brand's legendary off-road capabilities and even more sophisticated and elegant features. The spotlight will also be on the Jeep Renegade Dawn of Justice Special Edition starring in the upcoming "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" movie, and the exclusive Grand Cherokee SRT Night, the most recent example of the fastest and most powerful Jeep vehicle ever. The display at the stand (5130, Hall 5) will be complemented by an exclusive one of Cherokee showcar designed by Garage Italia Customs.
