@DodgeCares Can you tell us when the OTA update will be available for us owners who just got their system updated at the dealer?
it seems the version we updated to is behind what is provided in the latest OTA from 11/15/2021

Thanks

 

uConnect called me & my dealer when the software update came out. Dealer installed the update the next day. uConnect said the software release was coming out on a USB stick within the next month. I still have issues with my phone saying disconnected, but the apple car play says connected while still playing music. Phone says connected via bluetooth & wi-fi during this. Have to reboot radio or go into device manager on uConnect and force a reconnection

 

You could also make a 3rd


The next update (which came out 11/15) fixes Apple and Android connectivity issues. This update should be OTA since newer Durangos got it OTA.

 

Like Urbish said, it is probably for the auto leveling headlights..

What's that new revision...need to check if it installed since then.

I believe it is up to R17.99

 

@DodgeCares Courtney, you said to reach out if we wanted to get a more immediate download. I sent a message 10 days ago and I am still waiting for a response....

 

I’m 45 minutes away from a dealer can I just wait for the USB?

I also just had a MASSIVELY loud buzz static come through the speakers while driving. Couldn’t mute or lower it. It’s as if it was at max volume too. Luckily I was pulling up to a light and just held power button down and restarting it killed the noise. Thankfully it was just me and not my baby in the car I would of been real upset!

Got mine updated at the dealer yesterday, picked it up this morning. Still need to explore it a bit.

 

They removed the Sirius wallpapers when listening to Sirius. Wtf?

 

yeah, the background is gone... a hand full of what ive seen thus far looks more.... plain.....

BUT........


look what a tech left in my vehicle after the update today....

 

That's hilarious!!! But yeah, I don't understand why dodge removed the sirius wp, along with the theme looks dumbed down. Annoying as FCK. Maybe you should share that file?

 

So heres another funny thing...the alpine/harmon kardon thing, well heres the meta data from the update....
ota-required-cache=0
ota-type=AB
post-build=harman/fca_dv2/fca_dv2:8.1.0/OPM1.171019.025/FCA-MY21.R17.89-PROD:user/release-keys
post-build-incremental=FCA-MY21.R17.89-PROD
post-timestamp=1625833125
pre-device=fca_dv2

Alpine, and HK, same as expected.

I actually wish i could go back to original FW. System sounded better.

I did the update with the file from Forbiddenwon...Thank you very much. It went fine , no problems.... One thing that I did notice that will only affect SRT guys, is that on the climate screen, the icons no longer have helmets on......Maybe that will change with a few key cycles, as my performance pages and drives modes were not there at first either. Be sure to do the factory reset after the update, then shut the car off and let it "go to sleep" Hopefully we will get an OTA update soon to bring us up to speed.....

I had the helmets on a non srt. This update is fcked

 

Downloading it now, and I will try it when I get home . Thanks for sharing!!!!!! Looked over the paperwork that the service departments got. We dont need to unzip the folder, just leave it as is on the USB stick...

 

Looks to me like the fonts are generally a little bigger all around. Especially at the top of the display on the pull down bar. There are some text wrapping issues in various parts of the UI as a result of the bigger fonts. They clearly didn't bother to go through every screen to make sure all the buttons, widgets etc. took the bigger text correctly. I know that's really got to be a SHOCKER at this point!

Messing around with the new firmware reminded me that the gauges section of the performance pages actually has 2 pages... the first page has a top row with 3 gauges, and then a second row with only 2. But there is a second page which only has a single gauge. Why didn't they put that single gauge (I think it's is air intake temp) on the first page? There is clearly room for a third item on row two! STUPID.

Also... why in the hell do we have to press "Launch performance pages" once we've already selected the performance tab?

Grrrrrr... bad software bugs me, but when things are this obvious it really pisses me off.

Wait an hour and let all the settings load. You can change the theme to number two which has the helmets. Settings, display, themes.

 

They should give us more options for wallpapers. How hard would it be and how cool would it be to select our own wallpaper? And I agree on the performance pages. IAT should be on the first page as well. I like looking at that, especially since changing to the Legmaker intake.

 

The Durango SRT Is A Family Hauler For The Fun Dad

The Durango SRT is a fun car for dads looking to retain the thrill of adrenaline and speed even when they have to haul kids to soccer practice.

www.mantripping.com

This article talks about some of the SRT easter eggs....... Not sure if they were incorporated into the TNG also....

 

Good article, SALEEN032. I am all in with it. (Please note the foto in my "Signature")

 

ITS HERE!!!! A mere 96 days after ordering, the dealer called to say that my vehicle now in PDI.

Got the Autobody wizard revved up to be another set of eyes for MY walkaround; spoke to the CU that financed the Challenger, got approval; and, lined up AutoNation, Vroom, CarMax, and Carvana to find the best price offer for said Chall (see Avatar).

NOW the real work begins.

Am now officially OFF of the ledge. Thanks to EVERYONE for the support and knowledge.

Now I will take two weeks off, then Quit!

 

Did the update off of the file from Forbiddenwon! Thank you! Everything works great so far the little I played with it. God I love the internet!

 

Anyone used Forbiddenwon's update been used in a GT DD?
My Durango it a 2021 GT Plus with the 10.1 system.

Does not matter as it is dependent on the 10.1" system, that is it. You are good to go!

Just to re-assure you, I used the file and had no problem with the update. Just be sure to do a factory reset after the update finishes...

 

So I just copied the .zip file onto my USB and plugged it in. System seems to read the USB and sat not a media file. I am on the media screen, and pick source USB1, it then goes to play.

Format the USB stick with FAT32 and then copy the zip file onto it.
Then when you plug it in the update will start. Takes about 18 minutes or so and seems like it gets stuck at times but it is working in the background.

It is formatted to MS-DOS (FAT32) from my iMac.
It is a 512GB / USB3.0

 

I assume my version needs to be updated...

 

You bet!

 

New glitch in new FW. I get satellite searching for signal, and it gets stuck on Sirius, cant switch to any other sources. A forced reboot is needed. Happened twice in last week. If anyone gets ahold of the previous FW, please pm me. I want to go back to it. Its actually better.

 

Could simply be a sirius issue. I have had no issues with satellite at all but 4G was funky but has cleared up (most likely ATT had issues)

 

This past week, 2021 Pacifica owners are being mailed an USB for updates. I wonder if Durango owners will get the same in the mail.
Thanks again Forbiddenwon! I Finally have an updated system with separate user profiles for my wife and I. SUPER Slow to switch users as in over a minute but my guess is than an over the air update will come out to speed this up.

 

We are under the same recall, so I'm sure that we will be receiving one in the mail soon. I already did the update also thanks to Forbiddenwon!!!!

 

I offered friendship in a time of need.... but one day friend, i may call upon you to return the favor...

 

Anyone who's done this disappointed with the outcome? Plugging my VIN in the uconnect upgrade site, shows nothing available. Are the profiles linked to the keys like memory seats/mirrors? So when i get in, it will automatically startup with my profile and vice versa?

The profiles are linked to the driver seat memory position. So as you get in, hit your memory button on the door and your profile is loaded automatically.

We share key fobs so have not tested if having your own fob matches the seat position matches the profile ( but would expect that to work ).

 

Plug your VIN into the MOPAR recall site. You should see Y25 listed, unless you are in Canada apparently.

I don't regret doing the firmware update. I wish it was a little more productive tho. Not really all that much to speak of.

Two things I've noticed:

1) The fonts are all a little bigger... for the most part this is a good thing, but there are places where it has caused some display formatting issues - stuff like text that doesn't quite fit on the button anymore, but generally a little more readable.

2) I used to get a problem where the volume knob was set to control Navigation speech volume instead of the music. Typically this would happen at startup, and then be fine after I "fixed" it by forcing the Google Assistant to come up and then go away. I don't think I've had that problem since the update.

 

Latest update on the volume knob not controlling music volume:

1) Before the firmware update I figured out the easiest solution: Long press the voice activation button on the steering wheel to get the Google Assistant. Make sure to long press so you get Google not the built-in Dodge assistant. Then just short press it again to cancel. FIXED.

2) I have not had this happen to me since I got the firmware update with the OTA fix.

 

So last 2 days, needed a complete reboot due to black screen. This new update sucks balls.
