Uconnect and Australian MAPS upgrade

[scottyjeep88]

Hi All,

Hoping someone can help me, the dealer wants to charge huge money for the map upgrades and software upgrades to my MY15 Limited.

just wondering, has anyone done this? i know alot of 'cherokee owners do the updating on their own via a download/forum link just wondering if anyone has done this for a Grand Cherokee?

Cheers,
Scott

All my software updates have been free as part of a service EXCEPT the map update which they very kindly charged me $195 - despite my protests.

there are plenty of threads on here regarding uconnect and updating it . From what i understand even the latest map update was pointless. numbthumbs what is your map version since the update ?

I downloaded via the forum links and did the UConnect update from 14.25.5 to 17.43.01. I tried to do a map update as well but the SD card was not recognised as a map update so still working on that. I feel I should have done the map update first, then the UConnect as once I did the UConnect update, the map database version changed to a universal CMCVP4ROW;V1 (Apparently 17.43.01 has some navigation and mapping changes.) I'd be interested to hear what other versions are out there?
To be frank, I dont see any real change in the system performance, its shuffled some icons around and apparently I can use SIRI now but I'm an Android user so moot update really. There is a list of the 'improvements' I read but nothing to rush out and try.
Update was easy to do, I set it off, had dinner, when I came back everything had turned off and I thought I may have bricked it but it fired up ok.

I've also updated my uconnect system to 17.43.01, & had my Navigation update attempted twice @ the dealership & failed to update. They've now raised a technical issue with Jeep, but I feel it may have been a mistake to update the uconnect software..

Versions are now:

Software : 17.43.01

NaviServer : 9.10.32.702279

Maps : CMCN4VP4ROW;V9

No problems doing it, as far as I know...

I'll have to wait for a trip out of town to see if the maps are really any different!
