Uconnect Ra3 Hack
2014 2015 2016 2017 Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, & RAM owners can activate the navigation on your Uconnect RA3 VP3 RJ3 NA MX CA JP ROW Radio. No dealership visit required.
During my misadventure with upgrading this last time I was trying to figure out more about how this thing works and came across a few tricks. Google tells me some Jeep and Charger and 300 owners have figured out some of this too, but for the benefit of Ram owners I figured I'd make a new thread to collect all this stuff in one place. If you press and hold both the temperature-up (red arrow) and temperature-down (blue arrow) buttons at the same time, for 5 or so seconds, you are presented with the 'Engineering Menu' like so: All kinds of interesting things in the submenus, like you can read out the specific versions for each module: Another trick is to hold the up, down, and front defrost buttons simultaneously for about 5 seconds and then you are presented with the 'Dealer Mode' menu: I know what you 8.4A owners are thinking and NO, you can't just press the navigation activation button and save $600. It requires you to input an activation code, which is what the dealer gets from Ram when you pay them all that money. Another trick is to hold down the up, down, and Browse/Enter buttons simultaneously for about 5 seconds. That puts you into touchscreen calibration mode, where you just follow the on screen instructions: The last trick I know about so far is to hold down the up, down, and rear defrost buttons simultaneously for about 5 seconds. That will write a screenshot (1.2MB.bmp file) to the flash drive in the console USB slot.
Which is how I got all the pictures for this post! It will literally capture whatever is on your screen, including the backup camera image and radio info: One thing to remember before you insert your flash drive to capture screens: don't use one that still has the 'swdl. Toastess Popcorn Popper Instructions more. iso' file on it from your last upgrade!
The most annoying thing I noticed during all this: the screenshot files have the precisely correct time and date (in GMT) on them. Despite the fact that this radio can't keep time worth a darn and randomly loses a couple of minutes every day or two. So the radio is getting the correct time and updating itself, but they still use some broken algorithm to run the displayed clock. That's it.any thought from anyone about it?
