I would think if you reported it before and there is a TSB then it would be covered. It’s worth calling and asking I think.

Thanks! Can you tell me what the TSB was? I see the parts numbers and im sure someone posted the TSB no but im overlooking it.

You need to learn how to use google and stop playing with the UC5 radio. LOL

I now officially dub the 10.1 radio the "UTURD"

Mine has been playing the screw Carplay game, it randomly just disconnects then maybe reconnects a minute later, and maybe does it 3+ times over the course of 5 minutes. My phone is in a cradle and doesn't move, this happens even when sitting in my car at work. 🖕 this is for the UTURD team.

I don't know about UTURD since FUConnect which I think was coined by @Tin Foil Hat years ago. I think we need to honor FuConnect as the go to name. 🙏

This is happening to our 2018 Dodge Durango ST that is consistently unreliable and frankly dangerous to use.

@DodgeCares Can you provide assistance here? A family should not be distracted by a rear view camera popping up randomly or the climate changing, or even the radio which all happens. How can dodge sell a product that is so faulty?

Your radio won't be covered by Dodge. You probably have the beginning of screen delamination and you can DIY the screen (some say easy, some say not) or replace the radio.

Thank you!

That too, damn thing doesn't speak English as a first language most of the time. I can't wait for a good Linux phone to come out.

The closest you will get is an Android phone. I will say Samsung S series unlocked phones are outstanding. My S23 and previous S21 never had any issues with connectivity to the UC5 system.
BT, AA or wifi, all are perfect.

I'm thinking security/privacy more than anything else. Think Black Phone or Secure Phone And Messaging Application | Silent Circle

No more Apple-Google.

I wear a foil lined knit cap during the winter. Helps prevent big brother from hearing my thoughts through the 5G and 4G spectrum.
If the summer it is more difficult but with the advent of the hoodie in the summer fashion I have seen for the past few years, that is what I do.
A foil lined hoodie. I am thinking about designing my own line of protected wear.

I tried to upgrade the MAP software over the weekend. I ran into a problem in that UC5 did not like the files on the following usb stick. (tried 2 different brands)

64GB
formatted with ext32 or NTFS
partitioned to 32gig then formatted with fat32 or NTFS
files in root folder
files in sub folder
tried USB port 1 then port 2

I used a 32GB drive (update files in the root directory) and had no issue with NTFS and the maps updated.

The strange thing is, my 64gig music drive works fine formatted with NTFS and it has about 45 gigs of music on it.

I wonder why the limitations of the Map update operation?

UConnect Technical Support is looking into it...

Wow I got my second ever Check the Uconnect Box error since I purchased the truck 3 years ago this month.

 

[Vice-White]

Well the Uconnect Box error pops up on every start now. I also noticed my center display in my dash goes half green on a reboot of the UC5 system. I have to tap up or down to clear it.
I keep the MPG gauge up and that is what gets wonky. This half green screen issue where the MPG display is started 2 weeks ago.

Such a sad state of affairs. Oh and I looked at some SRT Durangos at a dealer near me, all 2023's and they have a 5k market adjustment markup. WTF.
year old vehicle that obviously cannot sell yet stick it to the consumer every what a dealer can.
I am not saying I would purchase another Durango (I HIGHLY DOUBT I WOULD) for the troubles, I just like to look and keep tabs on what Doodah dealers are doing.

What should I buy as I am taking suggestions

Your tardy Covid told FU-Connect that it was tardy in hitting you with this virus too. But you probably need to fix the connections on the back of the radio as they probably came loose like everyone else's did. I can't believe that a new antenna wire is needed for the fix - just tighten the connectors. Or, like Stoopalini (I think) pointed out, there is a bypass to the box.
