Mine hit me up yesterday morning, and thankfully so.
When I first fired it up to head to work after driving back and forth to OKC over the weekend, I could hear not only a tune playing from USB1, but also some ‘morning team radio guys’ talking about the Olympics and whatever else (I could barely make it out over the music). Hit ‘Mute,’ and it all went away… back on, it came back on. I switched to radio and the radio station came on without the guys… back to USB, and I heard the tunes switch out with the ‘morning team radio guys’ still talking about how the Olympians are being treated like sports robots and expected to always win. WTF?! So then I got this bright idea to switch over to SiriusXM, and see what was playing: “‘90s on Nine.” OK… well, THAT’S not it (Shaggy - Mr. Bombastic)… but when I switched back to USB, it went away. Wow. So, this is the kind of flaky crap a lot of others are complaining about and needing an update. Well… ask, and ye shall receive. When I pulled into the parking lot and shut the truck off, a message came up on the screen talking about needing an update, and did I want to schedule it for later or do it now. Pfft! Do it now, of course! It had 45 minutes to go when I got out of the truck. When I went out about 4 hours later, it was done and my center stack of electronics isn’t bricked. It wouldn’t let me read the ‘This is what’s new notes’ without activating the ‘Assistance Service’ since the ‘what’s new’ stuff is in the ‘Vehicle Care Information’ section. Meh - whatever... I'll just check the update version later when I head home.
As an upside, my RAZR hasn't dropped pairing since Friday. I’m not sure if making UConnect a secured device in the RAZR settings did it, or if the update helped, or if it worked itself out, or if I’m just waiting for the next drop. I guess we’ll see how it goes.
