I'm not sure, not having tried it, but it seems you could use the remote from the front seat - at least for start,stop, pause.
It works pretty well from the front is just real hard when having to select play or anything like that in the top menu without seeing it, every time i put a new movie have to wait a few minutes to hit play before moving.

The "15's feature custom backgrounds?
 
I also asked Customtronix if he has tried putting the 2015 version on a 2014 to see if we could get the added features available on the 15's like the different backgrounds and such.
he posted on a different forum that he could get it to work as an experiment but would not be releasing it. I think it would fubar the uconnect people by enabling other features they aren't expecting and also reporting the "wrong" version installed information to them which would make them look into what he'd doing too much.

I have a ~2008 chysler with nav. Used to be you could take your nav dvd load it on your pc- use a hexeditor to edit a few bits and that would remove the inmotion lockouts on typing just like the customtronix does. After a few years chylser found out and change the security settings on the dvds and it no longer worked. I guess they need to be carefull of that to be sure not to offend FCA. Especially now that people have shown they can hack the stuffing out of the car through the uconnect.
 
Any news if customtrinix works for the '15 & '16 models? I know it's been awhile with no responses to this thread.

Can someone please explain how this would work if I installed the SIRI Uconnect update?

Is this correct?
1. Purchase the Bronze version from customtronix
2. Get a USB thumb drive
3. Download the original version of Uconnect from the customtronix website
4. Put the customtronix provided Uconnect version on the USB thumb drive
5. Install the Uconnect version provided by customtronix on my Uconnect
6. Download the customtronix software
7. Put the customtronix software on the usb thumb drive
8. Install the customtronix software onto Uconnect

Sound correct? It appears that the customtronix solution is very dependent on the Uconnect version installed.
 
Think you have a few extra steps in there.

This is how I understand it.

1. buy whichever package you want.
2. They sent you .zip file.
3. Save it to your PC
4. Extract it to USB
5. Plug USB into Durango.

Unless I'm mistaken, whichever version uconnect you have doesn't matter, it just overwrites it.

I think customtronix software is dependent on uconnect version. Which is why I outlined the extra steps which would bring uconnect back to the "from factory" version (before I installed the SIRI update)
 
Just got update today. The Jailbreak is complete. They just sent me an invoice and I paid it. Now just waiting on the download which should come here shortly. I'm sure it's very early in the morning over there in Sweden, so I'll wait patiently and update you when it's downloadable to me.

Did the install. Not happy!!
The install got part of the way through, crashed and said 'software isn't compatible to the current year'.

Ok. System reset itself and now the Maps are gone and XM radio is gone. And my standard radio stations have no sound coming out of the speakers. Every station I turn to says 'reserved' above the station on the screen. Really weird.

Have you let your radio sit for a while to obtain all the stations and maps? That's one thought. But I would definitely reach out to Magnus at Customtronix. He is usually very quick to respond. I had a few hiccups when I installed mine and he was able to work through them pretty quickly with me. Worst case for now, revert back to the stock OS by downloading it from Uconnect to another usb.
 
However, the good thing is that it may be installed correctly without the maps or XM radio. The DVD plays while driving now. Which is what I wanted along with using the GPS while driving. However, can't test the GPS because no maps currently. So I'm gonna take to the dealer to have them reset correctly and get my maps & XM radio back. Then I'll check to see if I can input GPS data and watch tv while driving. If not, I'll attempt to reinstall software again.
