Just updated. Went off without a hitch.

Retraction!! Just noted there is no oil pressure in the performance page screen. Spoke with UCONNECT and they believe it is connected to the software update. Case opened. We shall see.

I was going to take it to the dealership but, I decided to unhook the battery for 30 minutes and BINGO!!! All works great. The pages even appear sharper.
