This helped me with a map update gone bad. I updated the map and software months ago and never tested the sos button. I went to use remote start and nothing worked. Found this thread and it fixed it. Thanks

S18PL20-E0021-3015 is now available. Still says it's a 2021 update. I'll probably hold off until a 2022 version comes out, and goes on sale.

I believe that is all the modules installing after the main update is complete. Mine did that too but I forget how long it lasted now. I started getting screen shots but gave up after 15 or so.

Mine (ordered in Aug 2022) was the -3012 item number and said it was 2021 in the description. The maps date on the radio after update is now "20Q4" was originally "17Q4"

The Jar files are what gets loaded when you do the software update. They show up at least a few times after you do an update but I can't say I've seen any since the pr39.9 update

You load the update on a usb drive and plug that into a USB port on your truck. If it's 19-21 here are the steps and links to the software Update PR39

I thank you I just bought the truck "2020" last weekend it wouldn't search online so I spent hours on the phone with everyone trying to figure it out before they told me I had to take it to ram and ram said it would be 150- 200 to update.

rformed.
• At or above 34.2 and under 39.9 >>> The radio will only need one USB flash drive to
update the radio. Create a USB flash drive with 39.9 or 39.7 software

Hello friends! Has anyone updated to version 40.1? My dealer said that a new firmware was released a week ago, calling for an update - now I have version 34.2. What do you think, should it be updated, or is it pointless? I also ask you to tell me if there is an opportunity to add the Turkish language in this firmware? Thank you please!

Not having any luck with the update..

I'm currently at 33.33, according to the instructions that theRamguy included in this thread I would need to first update to 34.2 and then to 39.9.

When I try to load 34.2 it gets to 19% and errors out stating error 20? I've tried 3 different usb drives, I created the usb using both a Mac and a windows machine and get the same error every time.

What am I doing wrong?

FYI, the 2022 map update is now available. I'm going to hold off until it goes on sale.

here is a write up on how to do it. Each update takes about 45 minutes. Follow the TSB and update in order and you should be ok.

39.9 and 39.7 Doesnt work with canadian trucks
