2012 Uconnect SW update
For those with 2012 vehicles that have either of the following radios:
RES, REQ, RBZ, & RHB
The File for the TSB 08-018-12 Uconnect SW update can be found at the link below:
http://www.mediafire.com/?vedk6f30v84e95r
And the instructions are:
Download this file that I have on Mediafire onto a thumb drive and : Place this thumb drive in the USB connector mounted either in the glove box or the center console. Press & release the uconnect phone button and say “set up, software update”. You will start to hear some beeps. This process will take about 20 – 25 minutes. It’s a good size file. During the beeps, the radio screen will in an update mode, when the beeps are done and the screen goes back to the radio then the process should be complete. Just wait for a few seconds after the radio starts to play before removing the thumb drive. Turn the key off, open & close the driver’s door. Wait about 30 seconds then turn the key on. After radio powers up wait about 15 seconds, then press and hold the uconnect phone button for about 15 seconds, the radio will start to say a few options and then something like please attach usb….. And then there will be a software version that comes up on the screen. Should be 63.02.48 V: HS: d2 or d1. When you see this
release
the button, press and release it again. The radio will show the radio screen now. Let me know how it works out for you. Thank you,
You will also need to delete the current pairing of the phone to Uconnect and the Uconnect to the phone, then start the new pairing session.
******NOTE******
If Uconnect update doesn't seem to take, then try changing the extension to .upn
***** MAKE SURE NOT TO INTERRUPT THE POWER DURING THIS PROCESS, THE MODULE WILL LOCK UP IF YOU DO. (THIS IS TRUE EVEN IF THE DEALER PERFORMS THE UPDATE). IT'S BEST TO JUST HAVE THE ENGINE RUNNING WHILE PERFORMING THE UPDATE.****
The update will have the following enhancements:
The customer satisfaction enhancements are included with this software release:
NOTE: After the HFM has been updated it will receive these enhancements.
· Reduced “Device Reading” wait time after connecting a device to the remote USB
port.
· Call / Dial separation improves upon names being recognized as phone numbers.
· Improved sound quality during Bluetooth streaming.
· Increased iPod and iPhone compatibility.
· SMS messaging support via MAP protocol (not all phones support the MAP
protocol).
· Added “None of These” and “Correction” to the phone book prompt menu for better
handling of similar names.
· Previous button will return the song currently being played to the beginning of the
track.
· AirPlay feature “Dock Connector” no longer needs to be manually selected on Apple
devices. This will resolve the “No Audio” condition when the device is connected to
the remote USB port and dock connector is not selected.
NOTE:
1) USB mode resume will no longer 'resume' after ignition OFF.
2) On iPhone's, SIRI features, Visual voice mail, Voice memos on the phone and other features where the phone simulates a call using you voice mail will not be supported by Uconnect. (this is because of how the phone handles incoming calls when these features are being used).

What I've heard but haven't been able to fully confirm is that there is supposed to be an update for the harman radios in Sept or Oct. But I'll see if I can find out anything about it.

I used the information in OP to update my Uconnect and it worked. Hence the Kick *** part. My media center is still boned, I hope you have some sort of idea about how to get it functioning again.
