I finished install the new firmware. All done fine but I can't see no changes...
Someone find a changelog?

Where did you get it from? It seems my VIN is not recognized...
I used another vin to get in and for 8.4AN it still lists v13.48.3

This update is for NON US Models and will mess something up :D

Stereo sounds better and volume is increased and way better. XM also seems to sound better. Just me but curious to see if anyone else noticed any differences after this update?
All of the above on mine! Much much louder now.

Just a reminder but that stupid Akamai download manager will continue to run after you download the update. You need to kill it manually in Task Manager. I am pretty sure it is a Peer to Peer type app that will rob your bandwidth and resources.

It will appear in Task Manager as two separate apps named netsession_win.exe *32 with the description Akamai NetSession Client.

I've had my 2013 Ram Sport for over a year now. I've installed ever update that has come out for the 8.4AN and Ram Uconnect has not sent me one email telling me there was an update for my radio. If it wasn't for this forum, my radio would still be on it's original version. Ram/Uconnect needs to get their act together.... I'm registered with UConnect and RAM and NEVER get any emails from them!

So is the general consensus, if the Software Update site statess you need it, then download it and install. If it states "There are no updates available for your 2014 RAM 1500 SPORT REG CAB 4X4 equipped with the Uconnect 8.4AN AM/FM/BT/Access/NAV radio" then I don't need them?

I question the accuracy of the site, as it doesn't even give the correct truck (cab) with my vin. It seems like some are downloading the update and installing regardless of what the Software Update site states...
