Section 1: Checking/Updating your Uconnect Software

The Uconnect Software needs to be confirmed prior to purchasing/installing your map update.If you are not at the minimum Software level, your map update installation will fail.

NOTE: This is a software update, not the map update.

Check the Software Version of your System:

  • With your Uconnect System powered on, press the following on the screen:
    • 'Apps' or 'Controls' icon at bottom of screen
    • 'Settings' then 'System Information'
    • The Software Version will be shown in the first line of the System Information screen.  Take a picture of this entire screen as you will also need it for Section 2 of the ordering process
A) If the Software Version is at the below level or higher - you are all set!  No Software Update is needed - move to Section #2 to purchase your map update:
    • United States systems:  18.45.01 or higher
    • Canada Systems:          17.43.01 or higher

(note: when you receive your map update, the installation guide will also instruct you to check the Uconnect Software.  If you are at the level noted above, you can skip this step in the guide)

B) If the Software Version of your system is NOT at the minimum levels noted above, a Software Update is required.  Have your VIN ready, and go to the Uconnect website to get your software update.   https://www.driveuconnect.com/support/software-update.html
