I have not, I do know the owner of a dealership though. I can call him tomorrow and see if he has heard anything.Does anyone have more info on this big software for the L update that’s supposed to come out in Q1 2022? Several owners have mentioned their dealer has told them about it.
Surely you jestSurely this is a broad enough topic @JeepCares should be able to dig up some information for all of us!!
They probably have been reassigned to the FCA legal department. The sooner all 2021 L owners accept this was a massive beta test at our expense, the sooner you will call a lawyer and sell your lemon.I’ve not seen Jeep cares respond at all in awhile
AI from 2015, coded by someone with english as a third language, could provide a more meaningful response. As for everyone clutching their pearls, praying to the 'software fix' gods: I agree - the problem is hardware or wiring, for many of us, or else some people's cars wouldn't work fine while others are a mess. It could of course be both.Bravo, it does sound on point for JeepCares’s normal lines… arrogant enough to think I need a Jeep to feel blessed and ignorant enough to think I want help with my Stereo/CarPlay after my ABS, power steering, and headlights failed.
Remaining on topic, I have zero knowledge, zero faith, and zero cares about a software update. Software does not fix hardware problems.
Not to defend the indefensible, but it's not unusual for platforms to freeze the exact components verified in the original design, where this one may have begun around 2017, and hopefuly undergone lifecycle testing since then. As you probably know, intricate designs, for example Apollo 11, relied on chips and software that were almost 10 years old simply because, with so many variables, they didn't want to pull the rug from under verified systems. While we're all reading about an alarming number of flaws in this WL platform, it seems unlikely that its 5 year old Android OS is the root of them. Sarge, among others, seems to have the Rosetta stone for all that can fail in this production. Assuming they've already tracked the source of some the problems, after they replace his, they'd be wise to put it under a microscope to witness and isolate the cause of the many issues that others in the field are also reporting, but can't get solved by the fleeting attention of their service techs.Your Jeep tells you the software version and by law, declares the open source licenses used. Once you have the version number, type it into Google. A guy on the Pacifica forums did some tinkering. There are other forums for other platforms that back it up. Version history comes from Wikipedia. I’m not smart remember, I am an ass spewing hate speech. Google “fca-my21.r17.99-prod”
Oh yeah, they push all OTA updates to all platforms at the same time. The reason we don’t get updates quickly might be related to FCA wanting to fix other issues on other platforms as they share the core OS/Uconnect and needing to cross compare/validate. Doesn’t it feel good to know they treat everyone with equality? Knowing they treat my GCL ABS, power steering, and headlight failures software update the same as a Pacifica door chime issue warms my heart and I sleep much better.
I personally disagree with electric vehicles saving the planet despite carrying EE degrees. But I do agree fully with Elon when he says all other car manufactures hardware and software is 10+ years old tech and garbage. The real reason the chip shortage is an issue is because they are using transistors/components that are obsolete and no longer able to be made. The world has advanced electronically speaking but most car manufacturers have not. The factories making chips for them have thrown those lines away literally or make no profit from those chips. Auto makers choose to keep using old tech due to cost… “it’s always cheaper to keep her” by recycling designs.
Tesla made their own chips, own control units/processors. In true Detroit fashion, the world gave them lemons and they cried to congress as they got some juice in their eyes. In true Elon fashion, the world gave him lemons, he made his own hardware for computers from them…
What are the last two digits of your uconnect version now?i just got an update over the air today. not sure if it was this one or not. i saw a message through the window when i got out of the car saying do u want to update? i ignored it and locked the car and left. next time i got in it said it has been updated.
Is the bug that it fails to connect to the WiFi, or the file explorer after?There is a bug in the radio module (at least for the 8.4”) and I have told jeep about this months ago. They don’t care. Can’t really do anything but view…still, fix this… get better coders.
Also, the radio was replaced and this still does this.
I did notice the marketplace app is finally gone, I knew they were getting rid of that. I still have the weather app and it does nothing but flashes screen when tapped.
