I own a 2023 Chrysler 300C, while I was at the dealership service department I was wanting to know if a kill switch or an expensive alarm system would invalidate my warranty. They explained this fix for Chrysler so I thought it was a good idea to have it done right then and there. This patch took only about 10 minutes to do, he just plugged something into the computer and played with his phone a little and it was done. I don't care about any updates I come from a generation that you get what you get when you buy a car and that's it. I'm not one to lose my key fob, I just don't want to come out from the mall and find my car gone. The tradeoff is feeling more secure about my car versus maybe an inconvenience in the future. I hope this helps

My 2 cents is this. Get the update. With chip shortage and productions issues on the platforms, it is extremely difficult getting a replacement car in the queue ahead of the ready sold units awaiting production. If your car gets stolen in the short future of the life of these cars, and it can't be recovered and your insurance issues you a check for a replacement, you may be hard pressed to find a new or used vehicle to replace the one you lost and then you're screwed.So get the update and don't worry about uconnect graphics and such.

Don’t let anyone approach you after being bumped after said accident. Be ready to bail. Keep your head on a swivel. Add a kill switch and HIDE the switch. If you can’t do it, pay a mechanic to do it.

I have an appointment to get mine done I am not worried about losing a key fob and if I do and I need the module replaced so be it It's not all that expensive. It is pretty accessible but I won't explain where it is. Furthermore the expense of having your car stolen is huge not to mention the inconvenience especially if you're out of town when it happens. I showed how to update the Uconnect it's just a matter of using a USB drive and going to their website. It is the 1st step you do before updating your GPS system and map software. I have had my car for 3 years have no issues with it and I don't want anything to change sometimes software updates break other things. In my opinion locking this down IMO is an excellent short term solution however, It's just a matter of time before the thieves bring an extra module with them which hopefully is not faster than programming a new key fob. I also think many of the fears they put in the letter are so that not everybody wants to go and get it done all at once. You can keep yours unlocked I'm locking mine down.

I've got a 2019 Daytona 392 (took delivery in Jan of 2019), and have only seen 1 UConnect update. I've also recently received the letter for getting it locked. They are only locking the RF module, so theoretically, you should still be able to take it to a dealer and have them update the software over OBD, if there ever is one. It sucks because all manufacturers run on outdated hardware, which the chip makers themselves have called them out for. If they just "come to the 21st Century," with it, there would be more security built-in. It still is bad on Dodge if all it takes is hijacking/duplicating a RF signal. They should have built-in encryption/checks along with that RF signal to ensure it is only coming from a legit registered Keyfob. As Kobi said, just get the update. What it locks isn't a huge deal, unless you are just bad at keeping track of your keys. It is easier to protect your car, than to lose it in the current market, and hope that you can get a replacement.

I like it!!!....I got a 2016 scat...I'm not worried about updates. The last one they did was in 2017 I beleive.....In fact I wouldn't trust the Government in the future trying to download some funky 💩in our cars...I got two fobs...but I would buy an extra one..plus knowing thieves can't jack my 💩 and drive away.....I wanna go back to the old-school for sho!

now that you mention this, then basically you can buy the device, buy aftermarket keyfobs, and basically make your own keyfobs for cheaper, then take to the dealership and lock the module

Regarding the update there’s 2 ways to receive it one is over the air and the second is via an email they send you with a compressed file which you download to a usb thumb drive. That’s how I did my update.

A little safer in an understatement. The easiest way by far to steal the car is thru the computer, or neutral release. Sleeping a lot better these days with a phab sleeve knowing they can’t erase my key. Fastest one I’ve seen stolen was like 45 seconds. The updates usually freeze the radio anyway, minor set back to have the dealership update it. Also you get 3 keys in a cat 👿. Don’t give these thieves free Wi-Fi updates when your car is gone, and if they find it you will probably need a new window and key re-programming…

Can you just put the fob in a signal blocking bag?
@freecleets3 жыл бұрын
this update only stops them from reprogramming keys. relay attacks will still work unless you put your key in a faraday pouch. relay attack basically mimics your already working keys.
@quorthunsargeras70543 жыл бұрын
Relay attacks aren't as common as breaking in and reprogramming a key. Faraday Pouches are awesome, I use one.

So if you get the update....and disable your keyless entry through the evic system in your car....you should be completely good...except for a tow truck...

What happened to the security update that would limit car if stolen to 5 miles an hour ( something like that)? It was supposed to be out by now. People say install a kill switch but won't that disable remote start?

I'll save everyone 20 minutes, don't pay no mind to this video, he doesn't quite understand the issue. @3:42 he's wrong about how they are stealing cars. @5:00 he's wrong about updates and per the published materials if you need new keys, they just replace the RF-hub like he says @7:00 instead of adding keys and that's in the back of car and doesn't cost much more than keys... and also, this is Dodge, not Tesla - ain't no such thing as OTA updates and per the written English, it is locking the hub, not the whole car. The RF-hub only handles keys and vehicle starting - ain't got nothing to do with how UConnect connects to the outside world. Don't worry about a few hundred bucks in the case of lost keys and worry about losing the whole G-Dang car - there's a reason they bothered coming up with the "fix" and sending you the letter.

Us lil r/t owners don't have to worry lol it's just an r/t right???. But, a few things I'll say i did. viper alarm with vibration and tilt sensor. vibration detection to your phone with low jack. and key fob signal blocker. If they get pass those, then great insurance. It'll be an upgrade anyway lol have at it

Hey knockout I love your vids/shorts bro. I always wanted a muscle car as kid but was never to get one due to financial problems in the family. Everytime I watch your videos you inspire to work hard and get one of these one day, i recently traded in my Genesis 4.6 for a v6 2019 challenger(yea it’s a v6 but it fits my agenda perfectly until I make more bread). Hopefully one day I can get a hellcat or scat and meetup one day, I stay in Durham North Carolina so to see you in charlotte going crazy got me thinking this shit is possible

Hey…I’m gonna give y’all a major key: Go get yourself a ravelco installed in your car. Creates a whole separate key system in your car. Requiring a a specific 16 pin plug to be inserted..if that plug is not inserted…the thief could literally knock you out grab your key…get in the car and it still would not start whatsoever…unless that separate plug is in place
