Did you have to do it yourself? Or did it automatically update?

Automatic. Did it on it's own when parked.

Gunna keep an eye on the update. My biggest issue was with SXM song alerts. The pop up would show a song alert, I would click to go to the song and it would be 2-3 songs later, or not play at all. So far, it seems they are playing when they should.

When mine updated, I lost my screen. Had to do a soft reset to get it back. Overall I haven't been impressed with the UC5. I sure hope the Sirius is better, i constantly got Antenna error

Is there a way to force an update OTA? I have my UC5 connected to my home mesh network that extends well into my driveway (i.e. no connection issues - full signal), but it has not initiated an update. Just curious more than anything. Not experiencing too many issues other than some inconsistency with the Wireless CarPlay.

Also lost my camera icon and i can't add it back! And i've performed a 2nd soft reset.

The SXM song alerts are still messed up, but no other issues to report.

I found a work around for the song alerts. When this happens, press the "Replay" button on the screen, then use the skip forward button to move to the song.

Mine updated today. I hope it fixes my random rear camera blue screen. Everything else seems ok. I do notice that if I am listening to SXM and then say open Weather app or something that has multimedia when I close the app it does not go back to the SXM source. It stays on Car Play with no media playing. It did it earlier on another app also. Strange.

Oh also I checked and it now can be remote started with Alexa. Not a feature I would use normally but thought it was cool to try it out. Worked great.

Seems ever since the update, I now have a "Satellite Antenna Error" on start up, and my presets change by themselves. Ayone else have this issue?

I had the Sat Antenna Error one time after the update and I just did a reboot by holding the power button down until it restarted and it hasn't happened since. Maybe that will work for you.

I'll try it. I also now have low tire pressure message on the radio. I will also check to see if fuses and relays are seated, as well as the battery terminals tight.

Today, my system decided to reset all the stations for XM and FM. Plus, it changed to light mode from dark, when dark is set to default. This UC5 is just mind boggling garbage

With your truck off, if you open the passenger/rear doors, do you hear a speaker "pop"? If its the same problem as me, the radio turns on and off when the doors open/close and if you do it enough times, it looses customization.

Yes it sure does! Mine does it with every door, every opening. What's the fix?

At the moment, no . But rest assured its not just you!
