New update for 8.4 Uconnect radio

[Bryce]

When I pulled into work today, my 8.4 radio said it wanted to install an update. I guess we'll see what happens later on today when I go home.
Has anyone else gotten an update recently?
I figured they were done with Uconnect4 units and moved on with Uconnect5.. I didn't expect any more updates.

I just got the same message and am applying it now. Fingers crossed it doesn’t hose it!

Can you give a version number when it’s done

I upgraded mine to 8.4 so can't get OTA updates. I did find the last update for USB install and put that on. I am not having any issues with mine so not sure I will even bother trying to track this one down unless there's some amazing new feature or fix that I don't know I need yet

oh boy. Talk about a "Roll of the Dice". I am getting out of my office right now and trying to figure out how to disable OTA updates.

Following this thread so I can find out what's in it!

I was driving for an hour and a half today and didn't get the notice.

@Rhinebeck01 you seem to know a LOT about Jeep tech. Is there a way to disable OTA updates?

Well, the software update completed while I was driving. Took just about 40 min. to download and install.

FORTUNATELY, everything after the software update is working aok. ORP, everything is working as it did before this update.

Note: I do have SGW cables disconnected and a dedicated Security Gateway Bypass in place.

To the best of my knowledge, if you do not accept / allow the update, it will nag screen you each and every time you start the vehicle up.

You can check if there's an update for your jeep by looking up your VIN: https://www.driveuconnect.com/support/software-update.html

I do wish in the near future there's an update to bring the Selectable Tire Fill Alert (STFA) feature (I've seen some JT has this) to JL so we can set the threshold of the alert. The other day the low pressure warning came on when it was very cold here in PA and my tire pressure was at 30 PSI. I had to inflate all the way up to 37 to reset. Then deflate all to 33 (my preferred daily driving pressure) again. Don't want/need a Tazer.

Tazer isn't necessary at all, AlfaOBD does it easily. Dealer can not detect you flipped a BCM setting.

Did you even get an update? None here for 22.

No update needed for my 21 4xe built 5/3/21

mine completed. Where do you find the version number?
I thought it was Settings > System Info, but I only get licensing info and no version number.
