Beware! - Chrysler/Dodge/Ram Owners with U-Connect

It appears the U-Connect system can be hacked, disabling the U-Connect system on your Chrysler, Dodge or Ram Truck.

Clicked on the U-Connect link shown in the news article, put the VIN number of my 2014 Ram Truck and it needs the software update. The update can be done by the owner by downloading it to a memory stick, or by the dealer.

Not taking any chances on someone putting a bug that could affect the engine, throttle and brakes of the vehicle!
