dongman78 Posted April 7, 2017 Report Share Posted April 7, 2017 So I updated my UCONNECT firmware today. Everything seems to work but the navigation is now speaking spanish. Has anyone else run into this and does anyone know how to fix this? Version: 7.09 Filename: UCONNECT_8.4_NAFTA_GARMIN_7.09_MY13-16_JCJF.exe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dongman78 Posted April 7, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2017 English US is selected. The text are all in English. It's just the nav voice guide that Spanish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dongman78 Posted April 7, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2017 Here's a picture of the About screen. Audio is Espanol. I can't find the option to change this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bramfrank Posted April 8, 2017 Report Share Posted April 8, 2017 Show us the voice settings screen. You do know there are two. One for the nav, which you'll find in the nav submenus and another for the voice response, which you find under the display settings right?

dongman78 Posted April 8, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2017 I can't find a voice settings screen in the nav submenu. I only have Keyboard, Keyboard layout, and voice response under the nav settings. I tried changing the display language to french and then back to English but I am now seeing a different problem. I can switch between Spanish and French and everything works fine with those 2 languages. But when I switch to English, the nav does not want to switch to English. Basically, I can switch the nav language between Spanish and French, but not English. Here's a vid of me trying to switch languages: https://goo.gl/photos/y6qvJLZPqmc2d7gKA I realize I may be doing something stupidly wrong here, but what is it?

redtomatoman Posted April 8, 2017 Report Share Posted April 8, 2017 Have you tried simply re-updating your system again? Maybe something happened in the update that made the acutal english language file nonfunctional. Just trying the same update again may be useful. If you can obtain the same update from a different source, that may be good to do if the original file was somehow corrupted. As always, I would try certainly unhooking the battery for about 30 mins to see how the system behaves after that. Good luck.

Jack Koval Posted March 3, 2020 Report Share Posted March 3, 2020 Thanks guys. I have passed the info on to my brother and he will be phoning them in the next 10 minutes. Larryl, I will post the results when I hear back from my brother. Jack larryl 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Koval Posted March 3, 2020 Report Share Posted March 3, 2020 Well, unfortunately, the phone number provided by DodgeCares wasn't all that helpful. The people at that number said they don't have anything to do with the Dodge Journey Nav system. They did however connect him with the people at a place called Dodge Uconnect who tried over the phone to help him out. They went through a few procedures, none of which worked. They ended up opening up a service ticket with the local dealer for him to try to get them to fix it. I think you know where that is headed. In the mean time, I am going to prepare to try a couple of other things to get it talking in English again. Jack 2late4u 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
probak118 Posted March 4, 2020 Report Share Posted March 4, 2020 Three different people just here with the same problem, obviously not a user mistake. Why not just uninstall / install the earlier version again and wait until a fix comes out without this bug. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bramfrank Posted March 4, 2020 Report Share Posted March 4, 2020 I wonder whether the update file wasn't for a vehicle manufactured for spanish-speaking markets - this might well be a mistake uconnect would made posting the update files or perhaps in allocating the update file for your VIN. The version of CTP17 I have for my 2014 works just fine in my vehicle if you'd like me to send a copy to you. larryl and Jack Koval 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know your way of fixing the "cannot unlock maps" error brought the nav back from the dead. Thanks. Jack Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Koval Posted March 7, 2020 Report Share Posted March 7, 2020 I just got back from my brothers. I can say we have total success. This was a very easy fix. I have no idea why the dealer couldn't do it other than maybe they don't have anybody that can think for themselves. The following is how I did the fix. 1. You are going to need the files for CTP13 and CTP17. The CTP17 file has to be a known good file that is in English. You have to have them on their own USB sticks and under the directory of GARMIN. So your directory structure on the usb stick will look something like this. E:/GARMIN/gupdate.gcd 2. Go to your vehicle and start it. Press and hold the drivers side "temp up", "temp down" and the "front defrost" buttons at the same time until the dealers menu appears. This will take a few seconds. Select the Garmin Recovery Update and when prompted insert the usb stick containing the CTP13 file. It will do the download itself and when it's done an error message will show for about 15 seconds and then the main screen will say "uploading software" or something similar. It will take about 5 minutes for this to finish and then there will be various info that tells you the Nav package is now at CTP13. If you want to check you will now find that the voice language is now set to "American English". 3. Repeat step 2 but us the usb stick that contains CTP17. When it finishes you will now have voice commands in English and also have the latest firmware for your Navigation. Special thanks go to BramFrank for his insight and guidance to make this work. Follow this link to get the CTP13 file. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6xaYVU80JRbZUFGUklYNXZja0k/view I am sure if you ask nicely, somebody here will send you a good copy of the CTP17 file. I am not at liberty to share the one I have as it is not mine. I can't guarantee this will work for everybody, but it worked flawlessly for me.

Are you familiar with a .zip folder? .rar is very similar to .zip .rar is a file-compression protocol designed by a russian programmer (don't let that scare you, it's legit, and safe). [.rar] is a bit more complex an encryption than .zip, and takes more effort to decompress than .zip, which also makes it's contents unsearchable. is often the preferred encryption method for sending... let's just say... proprietary, 'but without permission', data over the internet. usually, textbooks for university students, bootleg software which people don't want to pay for, or in this case a firmware for a car that should be only available at the dealership.
