Yes, the 18.45 update was last year at this time to fix NAV problems. If you don't have NAV, you'll be fine with 18.11.

The only thing is, if down the road you do need an update, being behind by a few updates might be a problem. I know I had at least one over the air update which wouldn't have been possible if I wasn't using the latest update. Sooo, I want to tell you guys you are good to stay where you are with 18.11, but I can't be sure what will happen in the future with the updates.

Thanks MKErunner-

I've been using my Nav (I picked up the car in Houston and drove back to Dallas) with no apparent issues, so I

I might call my service advisor and see what they have to say. I just HATE messing with computers then they seem to be running correctly.

This surprises me. There have been threads on here about the NAV not even being close if they didn't have the latest update. You can do nothing then if all is good.

If you dare, you can do the update yourself. It's a little painful, but at least you aren't going to the dealer. On Dodge.com there is an owners menu. If you go there, you'll see on the left a uconnect update option. You have to enter your VIN. If they find an update, you can download it to your computer. You then have to unzip the file, and copy it to a thumb drive. Then, start your car and put the thumb drive in, and sit for an hour or so as it does it's thing. I've done this a few times now.

For the Nav update ... they'll mail you a thumb drive and instruction booklet so you can't just download and go. The Nav update takes much longer. The estimate in the instructions was 1 hour 14 minutes but my car seems to read thumb drives a a slower pace so it took 1 hour 40 minutes.

I just updated my NAV to the 2021 maps a little over a month ago. I knew better than to believe their 1 hour estimate from having done this before. I was at around an hour and 20 minutes this time.
