Hey guys. I have a 2012 Charger SXT+ with the 8.4N. Bought it in March of this year. I've noticed Dodge has updated the Uconnect graphics in line with the new Dart. Does anyone know if that upgrade can be dealer, or user, installed on existing models such as mine?

I didn't really see much difference in the Dart's Uconnect when I test drove it. But to answer your question, no, not really. Haven't really seen or heard about a graphic update for Chargers.

What i did on my car is i found a 2011 chrysler 300 on autotrader.. used that vin number on the updater website.. and i downloaded the 300 software onto my 8.4n in my charger so the theme is now blue instead of red..

i actually did it in july.. didn't think anything of it. 300 and charger is same hardware was just getting the software was the problem.. and thank god auto trader post vin numbers. :D
I just plugged in that VIN you posted and it checks out. It says that it's eligible for an update, so that's pretty cool.

2 questions:

1) What if you want to go back to Red, what exactly do you do? Although, I THINK, you would just plug in your own VIN and qualify for the update (well in my case I already know I qualify, but I never bothered with it) and do the exact process over again. So nevermind, I guess I answered my own question lol.

2) Have you noticed ANY changes at all in terms of functionality? Any features missing/not working, etc.?

EDIT: I should NEGATIVE rep you for holding out on this info since July LOL. Just kidding, 16 rep points your way man.

I just did the update on mine using a different VIN. I t looks like the VIN #'s have a usage life of how many time you can download the file. Mine said no usable files as well. I unplugged the USB drive, turned off the car and redid the process. Once redone, the files read properly.
haha people are going to buy the cars we are using the VIN's for and not beable to do their update lol.

I'm going to put the files on my web server for direst download, stay tuned for links... This way we don't hose up a VIN.

I have everything downloaded (windows and Mac) but have not tried the update yet. I am a little worried about my lockpick being in the loop.... And I just got everything working right, the last thing I want to do is tear the dag-gum dash apart again to rewire everything.....
