rfraboni Posted July 27, 2011 Report Share Posted July 27, 2011 I was just wondering if anyone knew when there will be an update for the Uconnect 8.4 system to correct the channel name to number inaccuracies. For Example when you say tune to Prime Country it will tune to channel 61 (the old channel number) It is a great feature to have if it works but frustrating if it does not. We just picked up the Journey yesterday and I have done the software update offerred on the Dodge website, but that did not address this issue. Thank you, Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't tried since doing the software update. I'll let you know when I get a chance to try it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drozz Posted July 27, 2011 Report Share Posted July 27, 2011 Mmm no issues with mine, used it this morning that way, told it to go to boneyard and it did correctly. I do have the new updated for the uconect installed, but even before i am pretty sure it was working correctly. i remember the day they changed the chanel numbers when i turned on the journey it took some time to do an update for the sat radio and then everything started to work.

drb227 Posted July 27, 2011 Report Share Posted July 27, 2011 It works for me too. I tried telling it to tune to Prime Country and it went to the right channel. I have done the software update as well but I doubt that has anything to do with this issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rfraboni Posted July 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2011 Ok I will try to test it more this evening. It may have just needed some kicking from sirius. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dre Posted August 24, 2011 Report Share Posted August 24, 2011 Where did you find the update on the dodge website. I cannot locate it myself. Thanks, Zack You can get the update here: https://qna.extra.chrysler.com/rhb/uConnectTouchPlaylistRadioUpdate.do Unfortunately it hasn't solved the problem for me. It's still going to the wrong station. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drb227 Posted August 24, 2011 Report Share Posted August 24, 2011 Dre, This info from DodgeCares may fix your issue. One of the fixes is apparently related to Siruis channel updates and not always going to the right channel. My Crew is in for service today and this is one of the updates that are being installed. One issue that particularly annoys me is "Screen switches to Main Phone screen every time phone connects". Glad to see that will be fixed with this update. Unfortunately, my dealer does not have the required USB cable so they have ordered it. I hope it gets there tomorrow! NUMBER: 08-023-11 REV.
