Last night I noted a message on my radio that indicated a UConnect Update. This morning I noted it was finished and just as I hit the OK button, I noticed a "What's New" button. Too late. Anyone know what in fact was new in this update?
 
Mine just did that so whats new comes up" uconnect improved quality" push "Assist " to view, and it come back " services not active to view push ACTIVATE "
so this update is just a ad promo to try and get you to subscribe to Guardian services and sirrius , Just me but if you put this in a truck i pay 100k CDN, for it better be included , I guess I,d better not say more big brother may shut my truck down CHEERS

I haven't noticed anything different since the update. Who knows. I guess anything would be an improvement of this **** system. Once the included subscriptions expire I won't be renewing them.

Its probably a spying and listen to you app, apparently Kia is the worst for spying on you in your vehicle but Stellantis is in the top 10. :eek:

Also your smart TV, set top box (Google Chrome, Firestick, etc), and literally every other device that has an internet connection, including your internet connection itself.

I hate to say it, but the genie is out of the bottle and you can't put it back in. If you don't want your information being sold then you'd better just go be a hermit.

Yeah, in any situation that would bring about that I’m sure people will be saying “boy, I sure am glad my car isn’t spying on me anymore!”
 
On the topic of spying/privacy, the sad fact is that no one cares. If people by and large cared about this there would be huge backlash with the amount of data being siphoned off and used against you in new and creative ways. People don't, so it will continue until people do.

I do think we are approaching a turning point though. Time will tell if it's just a blimp.

On the topic of uconnect updates. It would be nice if there was a way to see release notes online.
 
I saw on FB somebody got a new Uconnect update that added a some gimmicky BS and games, does anyone know what version this is and does anyone have a link for download yet?

A app button that says “AppMarket”. It has an ad for Sirius XM, a couple really terrible games that look like phone games from 2010, and a button telling you to go online to purchase the WiFi hotspot.

Added all that useless BS, and they still can't give us full screen AA...

Even if I wanted to play the games, when am I doing this? lol

I hope there are more meaningful updates to fix stability.
