If a Uconnect update is out there we should all have access to it and not have to make an appointment at the dealer and possibly have to leave your vehicle all day for a software update
At the dealer now...has taken over an hour and the update still hasnt finished downloading. Do yourself a favor and ask them to download the day before you come for the update.
My jeep is having the exact symptoms i.e. speakers pop, radio freezes / turns off, slow response to commands. I took it to the dealership and after an entire day they only did a hard restart to the system, which did not fix the issue.... So I am a little frustrated to know that this update is out there but they didn't know about it.
Please describe speaker pop. I have the Alpine stereo and I get a slight crackle on certain songs (mostly Metallica... LOL) on the driver's front speaker. I don't know if I've driven them too hard already and damaged it but it's nothing that merits taking it in. I just had it to the dealer last Monday for the cruise control update and there was an A/C software update as well. Didn't hear anything about this one.
