Feb 20, 2019 i have a 2014 with the 8.4n and also did the map update.Did not have to go to any dealership.Punched my VIN into th uconnect website and said there was an available update for my truck,put it on a USB stick,installed no problem,then installed the new map.im also from Canada.
After Wired revealed security researchers were able take control of a Jeep through its Uconnect console, Chrysler was forced to issue a voluntary recall.
You can check if you're vehicle is part of the recall by visiting this website and entering your VIN number. Or if you don't have the VIN readily available (who does?), here's the complete list:
- Stay in touch with your vehicle from wherever you are. Start your vehicle from a distance, lock or unlock doors and sound the horn using your smartphone, or connect your smartphone to your Uconnect® system and use the touchscreen to access select apps and features on your smartphone.
- The available Uconnect® 12.0 with Navigation features an advanced, Largest-in-Class 12-inch touchscreen. A customizable home screen with split-screen capability, pinch-and-zoom technology and redundant controls for key features makes it easy to access your favorite features and apps.

Owners of vehicles on the list have three options to patch the software: Request a USB drive preloaded with the fix, use your own USB drive to update the software or visit a dealership and let them handle it.
As ZDNet's Zack Whittaker pointed out, receiving a USB drive through the mail probably isn't the most secure option, leaving you with the option to go the DIY route or head to the dealership.
To do it yourself, you'll need a USB drive with 4GB of free space, and about an hour's worth of time to complete the process. The amount of time to carry out the process does depend on the speed of your Internet connection.
Visit this site and enter your car's VIN. You can find this on your insurance card, or in the bottom corner of front windshield on the driver's side of your car.
The site will determine if your car is affected, and if so, present you with a screen to download the software update. (I was never presented with the option to request a USB drive be sent to me. Your experience may be different.) Click on Get Started to continue.
- You'll be walked through a tutorial, detailing each step of the process. Only instead of walking you through the process as you actually do each step, this tutorial is before you can actually download or install any files. Read through it if you want, but it's not necessary. Keep clicking Next until you get to the screen above.
As you go through the tutorial, you'll notice mention of a program called Akamai NetSession Interface. This app solely exists to help you manage the actual download of the software update. I didn't install it, as it's only purpose is to help manage interrupted downloads and I wasn't going to install it for a single download. Besides, most browsers have similar functionality built in. Keep clicking next on the tutorial until you arrive at the following screen.
At the end of the tutorial, click on the 'here' link to go to the download page.
Scroll down the page until you find the Download button, only don't click it. Doing so will install that download manager I previously mentioned. Instead, click on link just below it which links to a direct download of the update in ZIP file format.
In any event, was wondering if this was something like what you were seeing. Since I understand your camera can hold 60 GBs of video data, I assumed it might take hours for iMovie '08 to 'download' any really substantial amount of data and you may not have waited long enough for the process to be completed. So much for a wasted half hour or more. Sony handycam pmb software download.
After the download finishes, open the ZIP file and move enclosed file (titled 'swdl.iso' in my case) to your USB drive. Do not place the file inside a folder on the USB drive.
The final part of the process requires sitting in you car, plugging in the USB drive and putting you car in ACC mode.
Uconnect Update Ram
After a few minutes of waiting for the car to read the USB drive, I was presented with a screen to update the software (as soon atop this post). Tap on Yes to proceed.
The console will restart, and when it comes back on a progress screen will be shown. Make sure to leave the car powered on until the process finishes. In my 2015 Durango, installing the update took roughly 16 minutes to complete.
