Check for Updates

 

  • First, you'll need to determine if there is an update available for your Uconnect system. Visit the official Uconnect website and navigate to the software update section.

 

Prepare a USB Drive

 

  • Obtain a USB drive with at least 4GB of storage, and make sure it is formatted to FAT32.
  • Download the update file from the Uconnect website and transfer it to the USB drive.

 

Start the Update Process in Your Vehicle

 

  • Turn on your 2019 Ram 1500's ignition but do not start the engine.
  • Insert the USB drive into the USB port in your vehicle.
  • The Uconnect system should automatically detect the update file on the USB drive.

 

Follow On-Screen Prompts

 

  • Once the update is detected, the infotainment system will display a prompt asking if you want to start the update process.
  • Select "Yes" to start the update. The system will then begin copying files from the USB drive.

 

Wait for the Update to Complete

 

  • The entire update process can take anywhere from 20 to 45 minutes. Do not turn off the ignition or remove the USB drive during this time.
  • Follow any additional on-screen instructions if prompted.

 

Reboot the System

 

  • Once the update is complete, the system will automatically reboot.
  • Verify that the update was successful by confirming the new software version on the Uconnect system info page.

 

Remove the USB Drive

 

  • After the update and reboot are finished, safely remove the USB drive from the USB port.

 

Test the System
