I see many have success with this update and have no issues.

Can you guys confirm this is a legitimate update? I read in another forum that v 2.404 totally screws up the Sirius Traffic Sub to the extent it no longer works. Is this the case? Appreciate confirmation that there are no issues on radio function whatsoever.

I just updated to 2.403 so don't want to update to this if there are issues.

Anyone else have issues downloading the updates? I've tried 3 different browsers and two different computers. The downloads end early and or corrupted. Trying to get the latest gracenotes. Anyone know of an alternate D/L site?

Thanks for the reply.

I have downloaded the 9.807 zip file from your server.
Do I have to unzip it and burn all of the files onto a DVD?
I have found all your instructions for burning the 2.404.iso file,
but I have seen nothing on how to update to 9.807 from 9.713

I have never done anything like this before so I am asking for step by step
instructions if that is not too much of an imposition.

Thanks again in advance. :thumbsup:

the 9.807 are a zip, extract this with winrar ( for example) and then you must burn on cd-rom only the Folder becker and the 2 single files, CD_INFO.CDI and CONFIG.CDI

Hi again: As I am upgrading an obviously older RER, I will also have to update the Grace Notes software... I currently have gracenotes 534.
I was looking at the newer versions in *sox*'s server and there are several
listed under the RER directory. Which one should I download and again do I have to upgrade in steps or can I go to the latest one in 1 upgrade?

Should I do the firmware upgrade first and will the gracenotes 534 work with the 2.404 firmware until I upgrade to the newer gracenotes?

As always... thanks in advance for any advice.

An update and a new concern:

After upgrading to RER 2.404 last weekend, when I was driving home last night and playing music on the HDD, it began to stammer and skip like a scratched CD. Did that for about 15 seconds or so, then cleared up and did not re occur for the rest of the drive home or on the drive in this morning.

It did the same thing about 6 weeks ago (with the older firmware).

Is this an indication that my hard drive is crapping out?

I just ordered the Map Updates for UConnect - RER 2014, and expect that it will arrive with the 2.404 update (I am currently at 2.403).
After browsing through some other forums, I am also greatly concerned about the reported issues with losing Sirius Traffic Services.
Does anyone have any updates on this?
Also, can I update the Maps and stay at level 2.403?
Thanks.

The Navigation maps and firmware are totally separate.
Have you received your disks from Navigation Updates yet?

I did not think that they came with the firmware updates.

As far as I have heard, adding 2.404 will negate your Sirius Traffic.
If it is working with 2.403, I would not update the firmware until
Chrysler fixes this issue. They are aware of it.

The RER Map Updates just arrived, and indeed the V2.404 software update was included.
I called NAVTEQ support. They claim that they have had no customers reporting issues of losing Sirius Traffic since they have been shipping the 2.404 software update.
I then called Sirius tech support. An "Account Specialist" said that there should not be a problem updating to 2.404. The radio traffic service may need to be refreshed after applying the update. In worst case, I can revert back to 2.403.
BTW, NAVTEQ also said that V2.404 is definitely a prerequisite for the new maps to function properly.

That's good to know. I have 2.404 installed already and planned to get the newest maps later this year. I don't use Sirius anyway so that isn't a concern.
Still have to re-burn the latest Gracenotes to a new dvd. My unit would not read the last one that I burned earlier.

Why doesn't everyone just upgrade to the Mygig RHR? It is SOOOO much better than the RER. I had the RER and now the RHR and it's leaps and bounds better. Just saying :)

Installed the 2.404 update and verified that my Sirius Traffic appeared to still be working.
Then installed the RER 2014 Map Updates. Again verified that everything seemed to be working including Sirius Traffic. (Just had to pair up my phone with the radio again).
If anything odd pops up in the near future, I will report back.
