Unable to update TomTom SatNav on Uconnect 7" system - Any ideas?

[David_S_Walker]

Hello,

I am trying to update my TomTom integrated SatNav (Uconnect 7") on my 2017 595 Competizione 180 but it fails...

I have:

 - A new USB key stick formatted to Fat32.
 - Downloaded the latest .zip file and extracted to the stick as per instructions (Including the license file)

I plug the stick in to the car socket after all start up routines are complete and the car is running. It then picks up the stick asks me if I want to continue which I acknowledge and it seems to start but will always then fail with a code "Update failed(0xa40000)". I remove the USB stick and try again but the error repeats.

Anyone had this or know what it means? The car is under 3 years old so the 3 year map update should still apply?

Hoping the combined wisdom may have an answer as most Abarth dealers seem unwilling or unable to help?

Best regards,

David

Hello,

By way of closing this off the car went to PMS in Haverfordwest for a 3 year service and they performed a free software update to remove the code I was getting.

I then downloaded version 1040 from the Mopar website (4 x map files and 1 x licence file) and tried again. This time it went through the upgrade of the maps as expected and is now running then latest available version with a map date of October 2019.

As you only get free updates for the first 3 years I suspect if I want newer ones in the future I will have to pay for them... Unless they release a new one before the 17th of the month 

Best regards,

David

Hello,

Sorry I have no idea...

If I was to even think about this I would probably start with parts diagrams to see if there is any commonality and go from ther but no idea where you would find any diagrams.

And I think the car was about 6 months too soon for CarPlay which I would like to add if I can find a way.

Best regards,

David
