Software Updating While Driving

[Ares484 13]

So it looks like the updates are still rolling out. I'll give it a bit longer before I worry-- it would just be nice to update it on my terms to avoid having it pop up while driving

This is what it is showing

That is not the version I have. If you look at my post 77 I mentioned what version I have. Later RJD

I have messed with this a lot and I'm pretty confident that what you're referring to is the car searching for wifi networks.
It looks like the button is to check for updates but the only thing you can make it do is scan for WiFi connections.

Ok you see it scanning for WiFi now do you ever see your home WiFi? If so now you got to tap on it and log in, If you do not do this taping the update Icon will not down load any new info. When I did this that is when I noticed my phone app started to work 2 days later. Later RJD

As I mentioned my latest version is MY24.u23.12 pro. This is the version that is working for me. Later RJD

You posted this last week. So, is it 23.12 or 43.12? The oldest I've seen so far was the 41.18.

That is not my screen shot. As I said several times here my version is MY24.u23.12pro. Who can tell us what the new version is? Later RJD

That is the newest version according to Dodge. Just had it uploaded by them on Friday.

Yours is not up to date. Later RJD

So you and I have the latest versions? Great. Later RJD

Yeah I've connected and disconnected it from my wifi a few times. The only thing I haven't tried yet is connecting it to someone else's wifi to see if it just doesn't like my router. Gonna try this when i get a chance-- but others have mentioned the update still seems to be rolling out slowly so it may just not be my turn yet.

They do it in batches, not every car at the same second.

Here's what I found about how rollouts are fielded.

Stellantis even writes it that way in the Charger bulletins: over-the-air updates go out in a phased rollout. First a slice of VINs, they watch for problems, then they widen it. That’s why one owner sees the update on the screen this week and another with the same model doesn’t see it for days or weeks.

Two other filters:

• Which cars qualify. They target by VIN, build date, options, and current software level. Not every Charger gets every flash.
• How it lands. Radio and telematics stuff can come over the air through the car’s cell modem. Bigger module flashes — engine, transmission, battery — often still need a dealer and a scan tool.

So Dodge does not hit the whole fleet at once. They drip it out on purpose so one bad file doesn’t brick every car overnight.

No different then how Microsoft handles updates to Win 11. Beta tester's, channel partners, registered tech folks for advanced release, and finally... A phased roll out to active clients. It's Operating Software for this model. Think about your laptop and BIOS software updates. No different. Just a different platform and when flashing the update, you want a stable internet connection else you may "brick" the module being updated.

Yup, I was pointing out Stellantis’s process. Since you brought up MS, at my organization any MS or other OS update goes through our R&D departments before we release it to our devices. Same idea, just a different platform.
