After Wired revealed security researchers were able take control of a Jeep through its Uconnect console. This app solely exists to help you manage the actual download of the software update. Uconnect 8.4 ver 17.11.07 trying to 'root' Connected Car - Page 2. Hello, have you made any progress? I am a bit lost. I put the EU uconnect MY15 to US dodge charger MY16 and Perf Pages were working fine even on 16.16.13, although after upgrade to 17.x (17.46.0.1 right now) I am meeting the problem of expired subscription (which is not possible to have on EU radio). With Over-The-Air (OTA) updates, consumers who have subscribed to Uconnect or are simply enjoying a trial subscription, and have RA3 and RA4 systems may notice a prompt to update to version 17.11.07. Some people will postpone the update, but sooner or later, the update needs to happen at some point.

I took my 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee to the dealer for service and asked them to update my navigation software because it didn’t have some new streets on it. They said they could do it for $400, or I could do it myself for $140. Of course, I chose the $140 option. Well, it turned out to be $165.57, plus a lot of time, waiting, hassle, and pain.

Recovering a Bricked Uconnect 8.4 after failed update. While attempting to install Uconnect Software Update 'SIRI UPDATE FOR UCONNECT® 8.4A_RA3_16.13.13_MY13_&_M14' via a USB flash drive, I encountered the error 'Sierra Wireless: bolo file install failed'. The update process went smoothly up until Unit number 10 of 11. At step 10, Unit Name: Embedded Air Card, the process was stuck at 1%, and eventually timed out with the error 'Sierra Wireless: bolo file install failed'.

The following picture shows where the software update stuck:

And this is a picture of the final error after timeout:

After the Failed Uconnect 8.4 Software Update, the update process would loop while the USB flash drive was inserted. When I removed the USB flash drive, I was constantly prompted to Please Insert Update USB. It appeared the failed Uconnect update had bricked my Uconnect 8.4. Note: It appears I must have a bad embedded air card, and this is why the updated failed to finish. At this point I simply wanted to get my Uconnect system back to partially functional order until I could get my vehicle in for service.

The following process explains how I finally unBricked Uconnect 8.4, and successfully booted back into a functional Uconnect system.

This concludes how I recovered from a Bricked uConnect 8.4 after a failed update. Hope it helps you!
