New update for 8.4 Uconnect radio

[Lithics]

I have a ‘21 Rubicon with the 8.4 and no updates to my knowledge unless it updated itself in the background. I’d have to do some playing around with things to verify. Only issue I’ve had with my system is the way button icons haphazardly relocate themselves on the pages.

I have a '21 Rubicon as well, uConnect kept telling me there were no updates for me when everyone else was getting OTA updates left and right. This went on for 9 or 10 months. I just let it go. Finally I reached out to @JeepCares here via PM and they got me the proper TSB info to present to my dealer. Printed it out, took it in and they applied the updates. The tech's comment when I picked it was, "Man, I don't know if I've ever seen so many updates in one go." This was after my Jeep wouldn't initiate OTA, and the uConnect website repeatedly said my system was up to date when I would plug in my VIN. My bet is you have updates available to, among other things, address your button issue....but need to go to the dealer.

2020 JLUR here and no OTA update for me yet (I checked the version # on my system).

Thanks for giving us a shout, Lithics.

To add, Uconnect is no longer releasing new downloads to driveuconnect.com, but previous updates are still available. If anyone needs assistance verifying their current software level or direction for the next software level to their system, a dealer can assist or feel welcome to PM us your VIN to get started.

Does anyone have the pure update file that they can link? Us people who retrofitted the 8.4 can't get an update automatically pushed.

Came here looking for this too

So will there be someplace where the customer can download updates beside the dealer? If the answer is no then thats a horrible idea!

What's worse is that once your Jeep is out of warranty, a dealer will want at least $300 to update your radio.

Same here.

Mine updated a week ago now. Upon driving it again the next day, the backup lines disappeared. Not a new problem, and they start functioning again eventually, but still annoying that it happens. Otherwise, nothing new.

Yeah. Just...Well, Yeah. Perfectly Put!

I’m relocating this week from PA to TX, a 1,500 mile drive.

I was hoping my radio would be up to date, but I’m not sure how to tell, not sure if FCB has a “releases” list somewhere.

Here is what i see. Does this look fairly recent for a 2021 JLUR?

You can check for software updates here. Although I have heard it might not always be up to date.

Thanks, I followed the link and was asked for my Application Version:

USA-ASO-8.4-QR-39.62.0-20210504-QFRM

It took me to a $149 map update, something seems wrong.

Mopar gives you free map updates for the three years of your warranty:

You're right, I just read another thread saying that route isn't supported anymore.

I'm looking for a 32GB or smaller USB-A thumb drive so I can follow the free route.

Dang all I have are USB-C drives that are way over 32GB in size. #firstworldissues

I hadn’t heard of this route. Is this officially supported?
