did they send out another bad update that many have to pay to get their radios working again? I wish I still had my F150

Not sure. Still no update or message from RamCares over PM. I have followed up with them twice over the past 10 days or so bur haven’t heard anything back.

I am experiencing the same "uconnect box requires servicing" in my 2023 Ram 1500 Limited. Can you assist me with getting this issue resolved? Thanks

RamCares replied on May 2nd and asked if I had called UConnect. I said yes and that they did not give any fixes or information aside from try to wait for another update. Haven’t heard back from them since. Not much else I can do.. tried dealer, RamCares and UConnect but all I have gotten was “wait to see if another update resolves it”. Kind of a bummer they would put something into their vehicles that they don’t know how to service. I don’t blame anyone at the dealer, they were nice and honest in that they don’t have much information or insight as to how to resolve issues with that system.

last update for my 2021 Durango was in November of 2021 so pray they actually keep giving you updates at all. 😬

So I ended up going to another local dealer the first week in March because they said they had been having success with this error. They checked the antenna, antenna wire and everything connected to the box and all that was good so what they ended up doing is just squeezing the connector a little to get it grip tighter when it plugs in. they told me they have noticed that from the factory the connection can be a little loose even though it's plugged in all the way. They said they've done this on numerous vehicles with this error message because it all comes down to measured resistance in the system if it sees any fluctuation in resistance it sets the error because it thinks there's a problem with the antenna. it also explains why it happens randomly when driving if you hit bumps etc. I have not gotten the error since....fingers crossed
