***NOTE: The service bulletin indicates this applies to MY 2015 only***
It appears that almost a month ago a new Uconnect release came out and I haven't seen any posts about it. Looks like it's not being installed automatically OTA, though I don't know if that's temporary or not.
I found the service bulletin for it w/ a changelog here:
http://www.hellcat.org/attachments/17-43-01-pdf.412449/
Which fixes my main beef - that incoming calls don't show your contact name, only phone number. Finally!!! I haven't installed it yet though I have confirmed it's available and downloaded it using my VIN on the uconnect page. I would LOVE to see album art via bluetooth connections but I'm not getting my hopes up. Also appears to have fixed the non-functional Via APPS if anyone was missing them.
Enjoy!
