Not sure of my build date, but 1300 miles so far, no issues. Just had the latest software update as well at 1200 miles to get my transmission settings back in the SRT page.

Do you know what software update it was? I haven't heard of the update being released yet? Did it work from no transmission settings to now you have it?

There was a update with a release date of 12/13/17, I just got it installed today. You need to make sure that when the install goes in that you reset ALL settings back to factory and delete all data. in the settings menu scroll down to the bottom and under reset there are three options reset all three. If you don't your system may work for a while and then things like performance pages start locking up. Trust me on this I spent 5 hours with a service manager and Chrysler engineering today and now it works perfect!

Are these remote updates are did you have to go to the dealer?
Did the dealer notify you?

Went into the dealer today to have an oil change and they also updated the BCM with the new software flash and I now have the transmission settings.

This may be tied to my antique iPod Touch (4th generation), but for the life of me the Durango will not recognize my iPod after a key cycle. I have to unplug it and plug it back in to get it recognized and it works fine for that trip. I have tried two different Apple USB cables and have tried both USB ports but same result. Any of you with Apple devices experiencing the same issue? I updated the Uconnect system with the latest release but still have the same "problem"

Funny you posted this; I am having an issue with my Ipod Classic as well, but mine is where the USB port is only providing .05A. This is not enough to keep the Ipod charged while playing.
I tested the Ipod using a USB hub that has a 2.1A charging port. The Ipod draws .26A while charging(not playing), and .32A while playing. After a day or two, the Ipod battery is completely flat.
When I first bought the D, I was able to use my Ipod constantly without this issue.
With your issue, wondering if it might be an issue with the software version on the Ipod itself, or possibly a setting. I know the Touch and Classic are completely different animals, with the touch being closer to a smart phone.

Interesting solution here when I Googled my issue with Uconnect...

I am having the exact same issue with my iPod Touch only working for the one trip - very annoying! Have you found a fix yet?

CWGrizzwold · Mar 16, 2018

I have not found a solution yet and what makes it more frustrating is my 2014 BMW and my wife's 2013 Porsche have zero issues with the iPod being unrecognizable after a key start. I am going to try my wife's newer iPod nano in my Durango and see if it is tied to iPod software/generation.
