Automaker Chrysler has released a software update for a collection of its vehicles that have an internet-connected computer feature in their dashboard known as Uconnect. The carmaker posted a notice to its website informing its customers about
a “software update to improve vehicle electronic security.”







The update is a patch to prevent the attack developed by security researchers Charlie Miller and Chris Valasek, which can allow hackers to take control of the vehicle remotely through the on-board entertainment systems Uconnect






2014 Jeep Cherokees can be attacked via the CAN bus, this network controls functions like steering, brakes, and transmission.







Miller and Valasek have been working with Chrysler for the last nine months to help the company create the patch it discreetly revealed last week. If you have a late-model Chrysler with the Uconnect feature, you should manually update its software now.






Here’s how To :

Visit Chrysler Update site Chrysler Update site link here






Enter your vehicle identification number VIN How To Find Your VIN Number and download the update.







Move the update onto a USB drive, and plug it into your Chrysler vehicle’s dashboard USB port.






The Uconnect system will ask if you want to update its software, and confirm that you do.






You can also take your Chrysler to your
dealership, whose mechanics will update its software for free.






In a statement to WIRE Chrysler listed several 2013-2014 models of Dodge Ram, the 2013-2014 Dodge Viper, the 2014 Jeep Cherokee, Jeep Grand Cherokee, and Dodge Durango as all vulnerable to
the Uconnect attack.






But Miller and Valasek say they’ve scanned Uconnect Sprint-enabled network and found other hackable vehicles, including 2015 Jeep Cherokees, 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokees, and 2015 Chrysler 200s. Owners of those latter vehicles should also update.
