Håkan Franzén Posted January 8, 2015 Report Share Posted January 8, 2015 (edited) I have a freemont 2014 with 8.4N system.I was going crazy over the bad download page at crystler that supporting dodge/freemont uconnect & garmin(gps) downloads.After I finally manage to download my updates both for the Uconnect and garmin(gps) and verified the update worked perfect (dident even loose any settings I had)I made my own download page to help all others that can't make the original download to work.Here you can find my page and hope it will help out.https://sites.google.com/a/pantad.com/freemont-firmwares/ Cheers.How to check if you need an upgrade:Press the: temp up & down down & defrost buttons at the same time for 9 sec (they located under the screen), when your car is in "run" mode (press RUN two times without break pedal)Then enter radio menu and check the version and compare to the version I have for download.Goopd luck.

bramfrank Posted January 8, 2015 Report Share Posted January 8, 2015 Thanks for the point to the update page. IE had issues, but it worked just fine with Firefox - you need to "disable protection for this page" to make it work . . . . Now to see what the update will bring . . . .

Blackout Posted January 20, 2015 Report Share Posted January 20, 2015 Hi Hakan, this update will work on all 8.4N UConnect for Dodge Journey 2013 Correct? Will it still show the DODGE logo on bootup or FIAT? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roly Posted January 22, 2015 Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 (edited) yes it works on the 2015.. just did it on mines today. I didn't see any changes in the menu or function. Just want my uconnect to read/display my LG memory card like my wifes Cherokee does Edited January 22, 2015 by Roly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikixbox Posted January 22, 2015 Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 Holy , did not see any change in the menus or functions, saw some improvement in bluetooth, I'll leave the same logo dodge? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roly Posted January 22, 2015 Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 I saw the same as far as Bluetooth connecting quicker. I'm just waiting for uconnect to make the LG G3 100% compliant for our units. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobitz68 Posted January 23, 2015 Report Share Posted January 23, 2015 I saw the same as far as Bluetooth connecting quicker. I'm just waiting for uconnect to make the LG G3 100% compliant for our units. I notice that when I remote start my DJ from far enough away that bluetooth doesn't reach (I have 3000' range) that my bluetooth will not connect when I get to the car... Any idea if the update fixes this? That would be awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikixbox Posted January 23, 2015 Report Share Posted January 23, 2015 Anyone have the most recent version for the uconnect 8.4 RE2 2015 Journey SXT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roly Posted January 25, 2015 Report Share Posted January 25, 2015 I downloaded one from a 2014 SXT. It uses the same unit, so i used a vin from a 2014 model, downloaded and installed it on my 2015. I don't have remote start on mines, but the bluetooth seems to connect within 5-10 secs of starting the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have remote start on mines, but the bluetooth seems to connect within 5-10 secs of starting the car. Mine does too, but I have to be within bluetooth range... at almost 3000 feet I am WAY outside that range. 10 minutes later when I get within range it will not connect.

Roly Posted January 26, 2015 Report Share Posted January 26, 2015 Check your phone to see if it needs an update. If not, delete extra Bluetooth connections on your unit and make your phone is set to be preferred connection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not, delete extra Bluetooth connections on your unit and make your phone is set to be preferred connection. All of that has been done... I think it has something to do with how long the car is running before I get within range. If I am in my house and start it, no problem. BUT, at work where I am pretty far away it just doesn't connect. I'll try the update some day when I have time to look into it... Who know? Maybe it will work afterwards.

bigtsr Posted January 27, 2015 Report Share Posted January 27, 2015 (edited) BT generally has a range of 30 to 60 ft depending on obstacles and other devices within that range that have BT active. Edited January 27, 2015 by bigtsr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobitz68 Posted January 27, 2015 Report Share Posted January 27, 2015 BT generally has a range of 30 to 60 ft depending on obstacles and other devices within that range that have BT active. Ha! You guys are killing me... I get that I am way out of range. It is just annoying that it doesn't connect when I get into range (after remote starting). Hoping this fixes it, but until I have time to update I won't know. I will update as to whether it works when I do get around to it. Thanks.

Håkan Franzén Posted January 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 27, 2015 Anyone have the most recent version for the uconnect 8.4 RE2 2015 Journey SXT Goto the page and send me a message with your VIN number (located at left corner of driverlocation, looking from outside of the car, windshield) need the last 8 characters and numbers) and I can check if its different from the version I have on the page. Or.... press the: temp up (red) & down (blue) & defrost buttons at the same time for 9 sec, when your car is in "run" mode (press RUN two times without breakpedal) Then enter radio menu and check the version and compare to the version I have for download.

Roly Posted January 27, 2015 Report Share Posted January 27, 2015 My 2015 had no updates, but I used a vin from a 2014 with the same radio and used that update which was more current than the original one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onecrazyfoo4u Posted January 28, 2015 Report Share Posted January 28, 2015 Why doesn't the 4.3" unconnect get any updates? Mine is 2.5 years old and there has never been an update available for my vin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bramfrank Posted January 28, 2015 Report Share Posted January 28, 2015 Why would you expect updates? Does it have any bugs that require updating? Actually there was one back in 2011 to eliminate little MP3 dropouts, but it was my dealer that applied it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Official Dodge Support DodgeCACares Posted January 29, 2015 Official Dodge Support Report Share Posted January 29, 2015 Why would you expect updates? Does it have any bugs that require updating? Actually there was one back in 2011 to eliminate little MP3 dropouts, but it was my dealer that applied it. bramfrank, You bring up a good point, software updates are ordinarily released to address needed improvements. Does anyone on this forum remember the days when your vehicle was built, sold and driven? These days, technological advancement is now in such high demand.

onecrazyfoo4u Posted January 29, 2015 Report Share Posted January 29, 2015 No problems with my system. I would just expect updates to better support new phones that are continually coming out. How does it work properly with all the new phones coming out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
