Don't forget the last update that swapped IAT and Intercooler temp.
And the fact that Uconnect & Dodge stonewalled those of us who complained & they never sent out an update/correction !!

Just to double down on the aggravation with both these instances is that they are code errors a 12 year old could correct + the fact they managed to slip thru the QC for the code releases (no comprehensive testing ??) makes me very leery any time they touch it.

UPDATE !!!

Pro Tip ..............

When you get the update message, you can make it go away by pressing the 'apps' button (or any other button on the bottom of the screen).
When you do that the rat-shit fuckers kill YOUR Nav & Media access as punishment for non-compliance with the mothership even tho you PAID for those features :mad:

However, if you open & close the drivers door those functions are released and you can go on with your drive unimpeded by the lizard overlords @ Uconnect !!

I just realized my cell comm blocker How-To disappeared, when I shut down my vendor forum.

I'll have to take some fresh pix and post up a new one, in the maintenance section, for those who are interested in locking out big brother.

Stand by.

They need to fix that makes me so mad. It wasn’t an issue until I went to A8 they were correct in m6

I'm still pissed about this, it's a simple canbus fix and they refuse, FUCKING REFUSE. Well jokes on them, I've got a Uconnect sitting on my bench and it has a harness and I have pulled the firmware. Their encryption key is about to get leaked and IDGAF, updates for everyone!

You can pull the firmware directly from their update site and use some software (with the microcontroller profile) to deconstruct the canbus configuration, modify the firmware and load it back via usb (***for research purposes only***) Happy coding 😎

Also you cant do this anymore, they sign the contents of the update with a public key, the data is then verified by the private key on the device. Leak the key then you can sign whatever you want to load.

All the devices have the same private key?

I know the private key for PCM updates are variable/calculated, been down that rabbit hole a few times. Lot of Eclipse Java decompiling and sifting through the flash and other diagnostics routines
