Well, I had my hopes up but now they're dashed again. I was scheduled to get a Uconnect over the air update and reset on Monday but I just heard back that the fix they were going to send me doesn't solve the issues we're all having. So I was told I should get a new radio. Not sure how that will work and who know if there are version 4 radios available. Supposedly Uconnect is still working on a fix but at this point I am not holding out hope. Seems like there was limited or no testing done when the update was rolled out so it makes me suspicious that the group working on the problem will actually find a solution other than "replace the radio". Hopefully Uconnect will cover the costs ....
I will go see my dealer next week and talk about options. Lesson learned - don't update for at least 6 months to a year after a new version comes out, and really never update might be the best forward plan.
