8.4 without Nav and now the Compass is available on the 8.4 and EVIC

Thanks Chris it would be great to get some information on the 2012/13 models now that Apple supports MAP.

Maybe if enough of us put our hands up something will happen - EG the compass issue that appears to have been resolved for most people.

Webslave makes a good point, I think some of the problems are related to the customers often having a better grasp of software than the service departments attempting to fix the issues at hand. When I tried to get more information on 'who flashed, what and when' I got a bunch of the blank "I don't get paid that much mate".....

The service department had closed by the time I picked up the car, so I only got to talk to my sales guy. I got the impression from him that it was just a software upload. But given he's not technical, that might be misleading. Whatever it was I think they found it by looking at the difference between cars that had the compass and those that didn't. Sorry I don't think that I've been any help at all........

Does anyone know if the lockpick solution will allow direct use of the USB/SD?

Took mine in yesterday. All fixed with what they called 'flashing it'. Both the EVIC and 8.4 now display the compass as well as the 8.4 having the settings available.

Thanks Zman - was the compass module listed on your build sheet?

Love my 2013 RT and all the cool screens, but the fake plastic chrome around the dials (speedo and tack) and trip computer in the dash just looks cheap. I'm sure it would look way better in either black or real chrome. Perhaps a combination of the two. Has anyone done this, or anything else?

Thanks for the update Chris - great work!! Any chance you have an update for SMS message support on the iPhone

Mine is going in on Monday for them to take a look - though when I talked to them on the phone they didn't seem to have to many clues about where to start. I'm keen to hear how you get on next week...

tried just about every trick I could find on the web over the weekend. No luck at all. Seems like we must wait for Dodge to support the two most widely used phones in the world. Either Apple or Samsung...... Be keen for any thoughts that anyone has had from Dodge on if this is something that they are working on, now that Apple support MAP.

Thanks again Chris - where is the easiest way to check the build sheet? Would it be on the equipment list on the Dodge Owners site, or somewhere else?

Sounds like this is a mix of hardware and maybe software. Chris is there a way to tell if everyone is in the same boat, or if some customers may have the compass module but no software, or neither the hardware or software?

Thanks Chris, im sure we all look forward to what you can do for us. If we can get this and iphone sms support fixed then ill be a very happy man.

Team, I've read a few older posts about lack of support for text(sms) delivery between uconnect and iphone. All of these posts were before apple added to MAP to iphone 4s and 5. Has anyone been able to get sms support working with uconnect, or know if there are issues/config on the dodge side that would stop this from working now? I've tried to connect my RE6 to a 4s and 5, but no message option shows. Cheers

Mine has no NAV, nor the compass. The demo I had was the same RT model without NAV and it did have the compass. It's rather odd. Hoping Zman can give us update on what his service department.

Be great to know what they find/do if they can fix it!

Hi Chris, I do happen to have the VIN for the demo, it's 3C4PDCKG3DT550431. I've left a message for the dealer, but haven't heard back yet. Cheers Allan

Hi Chris, No the demo model was also an RT without Nav. I can'r PM you since I don't have enough posts yet VIN is 3C4PDCKG8DT581206 Cheers

Hi Chris, Thanks for your reply. As you described, I'd at least expected to see an option in the settings menu, but I do not have the 'compass settings' option (all the others are there). I could put this down to the fact that it might not be an option in New Zealand, but the demo car that I tested had this function. Look forward to any additional thoughts. Cheers

Hi All I picked up my new 2013 RT today. After a bit of a drive I noticed that there was compass reading in the dash display and no option in the 8'4 connect. This feature was available on the demo, but seems to be missing from mine. Any thoughts? Is this a firmware issue, error, or something not included in my car? Cheers
