Gonna try it one last time again tonight. Called customer care again today. After 'splainin' the problems in detail again and waiting on hold for a while, I was told that my unit is different and that the 5 pages of instructions posted on their own website are incorrect. Instructions say I have to give voice command to "setup system update". I'm now told mine only recognizes "setup software download".
I have doubts.
What we have here is failure to communicate.

it just occurred to me that when I updated my old uconnect (2009) last year I had issues. It took adding 1 random jpg to the drive along with the update to get the system to recognize it.

Hey, that's a good idea. Put a jpg or mp3 file in the root directory, something the system will be looking for by default. The system may resort to "drive not found" status if it doesn't detect a file type from a pre-determined list of suffixes. If the suffixes were limited to media files only then I suppose it's possible the update file wouldn't be detected, leaving the system without it's trigger for whatever subroutine finishes mounting the drive (stupid and nonsensical, but possible).
