How to do a Uconnect 8.4 Update yourself

[@jennifersimons4447]

This was so extremely helpful. I thought I was going to have to pay the dealership to do this. This is so much easier. Your steps and directions were perfect. Thank you.

[@Garage28_28]

YOU ARE welcome friend , glad I can help.

[@jayton580]

Does it come with apple car play?

[@marcelprimes]

For my MAC users. Max sure you reformat your flash drive to FAT. Not EXFat. Also when you reformat you have to erase everything on the flash drive so save the individual files, reformat to FAT then move the files back onto the flash drive.

[@Chrisgato1211]

Somebody pin this , I couldn’t get my hands on a windows so I struggled since Mac only gives you two options

I have a 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee overland high altitude when I put the usb in two months ago it kept saying iso was unsupported or something like that I gave up I added music to the same usb and connected it and gave me the same error so I started driving around and decided to see if it the music I added worked one more time and it gave me the update option and I started the process took about 15 mins came back to this video and checked that everything was correct and it’s completed it finally worked 😎 thanks for the info my guy

Hello. Do you know if there is any update to get Android Auto? Or is it impossible in the 2016 Jeep Cherokee?

This video was very helpful very simple and good explanation thank you sir!

[@zackdreamcast]

I had so many issues now fixed. 2014 Jeep Cherokee, stock software . Trying to update Jan 2024. Initially tried using my 256g flash drive with software loaded. The Jeep wouldn’t recognize it. Found an old USB 2.0 sandisk cruzer glide 16 gb. Did a quick reformat to fat32. It errored out 3 times. Asking me to Remove and reinsert flash drive. I had to do a long full reformat that took multiple hours. While that was going on I turned off the car . When the flash drive completed its long reformat I directly exported the zip files to the usb stick. Started the Jeep beck up and after a couple min it asked me to put the flash drive back in . Put the freshly reformatted USB flash drive with the directly exported zip files into the usb port. Updated first try no issues. Hope that helps

[@catslafadventures5001]

Thanks for the very informative, detailed instruction. 😊

I have the 17:11 software and the Navigation is not working too good. It does not really know where the car is. Would an update help with this? Thanks.

[@PointWithin]

I am almost done with the update. Thanks for your help. Also have the navigation update usb and will do that later. That’s a bunch of steps

[@thebeeskneestreasures3596]

Is there a seperate one to fix the GPS issues? My navigation keeps showing my location totally wrong, often times 20-30 miles away from where I actually am. I was hoping this update would fix it but if there's a separate one , I should probably get it. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! :)

[@thebeeskneestreasures3596]

@Sprite With The Burner I was able to go to the website, type in my Vin number and then downloaded the update to a USB. it was very easy, Just follow the steps once you plug it into your car's USB port . Took around 15 minutes I think

[@Funky4me21]

@@thebeeskneestreasures3596 Well I have an issue after update also.. was advised to do a factory reset to default. But what next no one knows. I do have a MOPAR lifetime warranty and the system had a issue prior to me doing the update. It would randomly tell the driver to go East when the destination was West on the Interstate. Now it says Speed Limit on interstate is 45MPH.. and it took away the Fuel Price Search on the Travel Link App...

[@Funky4me21]

I loaded per guidance updated from 18.43.01 to 18.45.01 things were fine. Decided to get the new HERE map program. Once that loaded which took a couple of hours to complete seemed fine on a neighborhood drive. Wife then drove her Cherokee to a store 25 miles away and had issues with some of the Apps that were on the system prior to the upload. The Travel link system seems to be the app with the most problems. The Fuel Prices does not run anylonger, and when she was on the interstate system told her speed limit was 45 MPH. Back to the drawing board..
