How to Check Your Current Uconnect Version
Before attempting to install 18.45.01, you need to know what version you currently have.
Step-by-step instructions:
- Start your vehicle (or turn the ignition to "RUN").
- Press the "Apps" icon on the bottom of the touchscreen.
- Select "Settings" (gear icon).
- Scroll down and tap "System Information" (on some models, it's "System" then "About").
- Look for the line labeled "Software Version" (or "Application Version").
If you see 18.45.01, your system is up to date for that era. If you see an older number (e.g., 17.43.01, 18.13.05, or 18.23.12), you may benefit from the update.
Q: My dealership says there’s no update. Why?
A: Dealerships only apply manufacturer-recommended updates when you report a specific issue. If your radio is working fine, they will not proactively update it. Tell them you experience Bluetooth disconnects and reference TSB 08-146-18 to compel them to install 18.45.01.
How to Download and Install Uconnect 18.45.01
Important safety warning: Do not turn off your vehicle or remove the USB drive during the update process. Interrupting the update can permanently brick your radio, requiring a costly dealer replacement.
2. Update Your Map Database Separately
Version 18.45.01 updates the navigation application but not the map data. For updated roads and POIs, you’ll need to purchase a map update from HERE Navigation (costs $99–$149).
