That’s the non nav 8.4 UC5, and it uses different software than the nav units. The 12” and 8.4” nav Uconnect 5 radios, which are referring to in this thread, use the same software between the 2022 ram HD’s and 5th gen 1500’s.

My 8.4NAV finally updated to 21D-5 over the weekend. Did it again while out running errands versus doing it while sitting in driveway connected to WiFi. Go figure.
Can’t tell if anything is better. Still have what I see as odd that when you adjust the temperature dials the temperature setpoint numbers in the corners change font and size and briefly get a white box around them. They do this out of sync, too. Looks really odd to me and a poor implementation of making the adjustment noticeable. Everyone else’s doing the same thing? This started in 21C-6 but wasn’t this way when I picked up the truck. I don’t recall what version is had then.

I know what 2 things I am checking on the way home!
Have you tried resetting the radio?

I have given up hope that one update can fix Uconnect 5. Get in today and hit my app button to look at weather and apps comes up for 1 second and then goes to screen with temp settings and seat settings. Shut truck off and same thing. Get in it 4 hours later and app button works but weather app says try again.

Try resetting from the menu. Seems that doesn’t lose any settings in my experience.
My SIriusXM worked on way home.
I didn’t have to reset after this update but I did after first one to get all functions back.
Same for me but I get sent to the nav screen or theme setting screen.
Pretty disappointing to be honest. Seems to be the way with everything now though. Companies send out a half-assed version of stuff and then try to get it working as they go. Wish we would get paid or at least a discount to beta test for all these companies.
This is modern software development in a nutshell; Thing have gotten extremely complicated - between information and the user experience to interact with it. Teams aren't given enough time or resources to finish and properly test. This is happening from enterprise development all the way down to game development. It sucks.
Worst part is it didn't fix any of the problems I was having and made new ones. I still lose all the icons and info at the top of my screen and have to reset themes to get them back. Actually slower in some spots now.
Any progress on on this? I got a new Android phone and tried to get it to connect to AA and nada! My previous Android, no prob, other than the constant disconnect and reconnect. BT works fine though. As it should.

Thanks. I was able to connect after updating to Android 11. But still many issues. PM sent.
For CarPlay at least, The issue is within the software of the head unit - it does it even while plugged in and wireless CarPlay disabled.
That sucks. Been a day now. Traveled around and no issues connected to USB. I did find that AA was detecting WiFi and would automatically turn it on. Disabled that in the app settings on my phone.
