FCA ISOs are bundled from various vendors. The QNX OS from Harman, some of the uconnect apps and the data connectivity is from Sprint. * FCA is an automotive company, I presume their s/w release management dont follow best practices. * SiriusXM cannot push OTA updates. It has to be provisioned from FCA and pushed through their uconnect DRM process to the headunit. * There is a watchdog in FCA UConnect but for the apps. Im not sure they have it for the OS. I know for sure that the watchdog restarts daemon apps when they crash.

> The QNX OS from Harman Is it true that Panasonic makes some head units for FCA? Are all UConnect head units Harman?

  I think the 6.5” screensizes and MY13 or older ones were from Panasonic. Harman took over with the new touch enabled screen models. The consumer facing apps run on J2ME LWUIT on top of JamaicaVM in QNX.

  Mitsubishi made a handful of UConnect head units (specifically the RHB and RBZ models) in the early 2010s as well.
