I couldn't download the updates a few months ago when I tried, but I didn't try chrome. I'll give it a try now, good tip

 

For those of you having issues here are a few pointers.

I don't use IE period cant stand it so ill be using Chrome. Many of these steps should transfer for both Firefox and IE.

1. Go to the update link https://www.driveuconnect.com/software-update/
2. In Chrome on the right hand side of the link you will see a shield next to the favorite star. Click on the shield and click "load unsafe scripts"
3. Enter your VIN and run the check
4. If the VIN comes back with an update skip to step 5 if not close Chroms and open your Anti Virus program (I use Avast because its free and I know what I am usually getting into as far as websites and downloads go.) Disable your anti virus (Google your specific program if you don't know how to do this) and then proceed to step 1.
5. If an update is available click the "get started" link
6. Click the "Continue" button
7. Click the "Skip" button (their instructions will confuse to poop out of you don't read them)
8. You should now see "Tutorial Complete" and a "Click here to go to.....". Click where it says so
9. If you don't have the Akamai interface installed you will see a large "Download" button. Do so and save it to your programs folder or better yet make it its own folder.
10. Now once that is downloaded open it and run it.
11. Once Akamai has been updated go back to Chrome and you should see something like this "Update 1: UCONNECT (update number)" click on this
12. You should see a download button so click it (save this to your USB drive)
13. If Akamai installed correctly you should see a download progress bar under the download button with a play button to the right. Click the play button
14. Wait for the download to complete.
15. Once installed you can go here "https://rsur.download.chrysler.com/..._English_French_15_17_5.pdf?__gda__=1437101438_93d47a37207346422e22527ee8b5454b" to view how to install the update into the Durango.

I have in the past considered putting the finished product up for download on my MediaFire account however due to Chrysler having a larger legal team than I ive decided against that.

 

You don't need akamai!!​

Scroll down to available software updates and you will see the word "here" with the link to DL directly via browser. Akamai is a PITA and is always running in the background on your machine. It is about time they made this an option to avoid installing akamai.

Yes you don't need Akamai and i generally uninstall it after each update however because Ive only owned for D for a few months and this is the second update and they have already changed the download process i decided to make my"how to" with Akamai incase they for some god aweful reason decide to keep it around.

Also I forgot to mention. When you are done downloading open the folder and right click the file and click extract. This will make the file into the swdl format you need.

 

EQ bug still present.

 

I just did the update. Bring a beer it takes a while to upload and restart. Also remove the usb stick afterward otherwise you may end up accidentally updating twice (more beer needed). Cheers

 

Ha...I did mine in the morning and brought a coffee...I didn't have to work so a beer would have been just as good.!

 

I have no idea why this has to be such a complicared process. I opened the link with my iMac and low and behold it worked all the way up to the very end only to fine the file format incompatible. Next step was to use a windows lap top. tried Fire Fox, no go said the vin number was wrong, OK on to IE, dead end would not down load file. so in the end IE and Chrome was the only format that worked for me. I'm sure there is a better system.

I get this error when I type my full VIN in : Please ensure the VIN number that you have entered is correct and try again.

I have done updates before but that was when they only needed the last 8 of your VIN

 

Temporarily disable your antivirus software. I tried FF, Chrome, and IE, and until I disabled Avast, it was getting the same thing.

 

I downloaded and applied to my 2015 R/T.

I hosted the file in case anyone wants a direct download: http://www.cloudyip.net/software/swdl.iso

 

i just copied and pasted that file on a thumb drive and the durango didnt do anything with it when i plugged it in. what am i missing??

 

Don't use Fire Fox. Use the IE and Chrome to get the job done. I had the same error with Fire Fox

 

EQ bug on my 2014 citadel Appears to be fixed with this update. Sub responds to each adjustment and no change in the mid or treble portionTested it for about 4 or 5 minutes and everything appears to operate perfectly.

 

I updated mine last night, it took about 15-20 minutes. It seems the info from bluetooth streaming on my phone keeps up better. I.E. Correct artist / song info. Before it would occasionally get confused and not change info with new songs.

 

I get the error code with all internet browsers!! IE, Chrome, doesnt matter. I've followed all steps i've seen here and cant get it to work.

plus in chrome i dont have the 'shield' icon anywhere where everyone says it should be.

 

Can someone post a link or possibly host the 440MB version of the file. I downloaded the 690MB version posted earlier in the thread, but got an error message that my system was version 4 and the USB memory stick contained the software for version 3. I have a 2014, presumably with hardware version 4.

I tried 2 computers, both IE and Chrome on each (including disabling scripts) and all gave a VIN error.

Thanks!

 

There are different updates for the 14 and 15 model years for some reason.

 

It takes a couple minutes for it to be recognized. Took 2 to 3 minutes for me. Just keep the radio on and the screen to install will eventually appear.

 

I just updated my 2014 Durango and it appears to have fixed the EQ problem for me, but it did not add the customizable backgrounds like on the 2015 Durangos. That is really annoying to me. The hardware is exactly the same in 2014 and 2015, but they can't offer the same software with the same features? This is the 21st century people, some things should be updated and new features added to previous model years. Especially if they are only 1 model year old and the hardware is the same... FAIL by FCA.

 

I'm not recommending this because I'm almost certain it won't work well, but if the systems are truly identical, why wouldn't you be able to flash the 14 with the 15's update? It has to be more complicated than that. Otherwise, you could just update yours with a 2015 owner's USB drive. I've heard some people have figured out how to "jailbreak" their systems too. The risk of screwing up the entire system, however, should deter anyone from trying it. At least the EQ bug was addressed. It's crazy to me that it was a thing in the first place.

 

I have late 2014 model Limited Hemi, its showing June 2014 update for my VIN, the latest one is Jul 2015.

Is there a way to check the version of uconnect already installed before applying the update? Prolly that update is already installed as my model is late 2014.

Go to Controls/Settings/System Information

You'll then see software version.

 

Thanks did the same, that update is already installed. People are saying that update is released for MY 13 and 14, why its not showing up for my VIN??

Cybeh

 

Glad they finally fixed this for you guys

well forget my comment then...lol

 

MY 2014 RT. 25.5 to new Uconnect version 26.1 - EQ problem still exists

 

I have the same version right now...14.25.5. Can anyone share the direct link to the update file for 2014, the exe version.

Or should I wait for the VIN to show the update...hope it wont break anything.

Did u double check which version you should have? Perhaps it's a different version as mine is a different year/model. I'd enter your vin on the uconnect site and see which update is applicable to your rig.

 

I already checked that its showing the same 14.25.5 update released in June 2014 for my VIN. [emoji17]

I'ma complete computer moron. I have a mac on OSX 10.9.5 and I download the files and that dumb akamai thing. I finally (literally hours) got the .zip file and when I double click that it expands into a disk image .iso file.... not the file it's saying you should get and safe to the thumb drive. Anyone have any clue what I do next?

I tried mounting the .iso file and get 4 files: bin, etc, lib, usr and one black file called manifest. I looked in all the damn folders and still don't see the stupid file I'm supposed to save to my thumb drive. This is stupid.

I hatttttttttteeeeee Chrysler. First my Durango is in the shop for 15 damn days out of owning it for 20 and now I need to be a goddamn IT expert to update my 20 day old radio.... bullshit.

 

I just updated mine with OSX 10.9.5 as well. No issues, went as smooth as pie.

 

After downloading and expanding, the file is called swdl.iso If that's the file you have, follow the instructions on plugging the USB drive into your D and running the update.

 

it's telling me in instructions I'm supposed to save file : CTPMY11.KWI to my thumb drive. I get a .iso file out of the .zip called "carom"

I see now, this dumb ass mac just calls it cdrom because it's an iso file. whats a KWI file? oh well if it's swdl anything Im saving that to the drive and going out


Great now I have SWDL.iso on the tumb drive... take out all media from system in durango, hit button twice with foot off brake to go to "RUN" and insert thumb drive.....

Outcome: "files not supported" this piece of garbage is really irritating me

 

Once you unzip the file it adds the swdl.iso. Take the drive out of pc insert it in the USB drive of your car with ignition off. Then with foot off the break hit the start once. Uconnect should find the update. Follow the screen command. It takes 15 mins all together.

 

i did that but it says files not supported. erased thumb drive and reformatted it to fat or whatever PC uses, re-saved iso file and it worked now. updated to 15.17.5. Christ
