Default Uconnect 4C update issues

I have a new 300S with Uconnect 4C.

After entering my VIN in the https://www.driveuconnect.com/support/ page I saw that I needed two updates:

Update 1:
UCONNECT_VP4R_CR16.8_MY17_LALDLX_USA
SERVICE BULLETIN ID: 08-007-17_REV.D
RELEASE DATE: 2017-04-21
Update 2:
UCONNECT_VP4R_US_NAV_CR16.11_LALDLX_MY17
SERVICE BULLETIN ID: 08-007-17_REV.E
RELEASE DATE: 2017-08-09

I clicked on "get started" and was given option 1 (download manager) and option 2 (download the update directly). I chose option two and downloaded the "NAV update (listed as "update 2" above). After I completed the upgrade (sitting in the car for almost an hour) I tried to download "update 1". The web page will only give my the "nav" update. How do I get past this and get "update 1"? Thanks.

Hi Andrea. I contacted Uconnect support and they told me that all updates for my radio will be done over the air via 4G (?) shortly, and that I shouldn't do any more. Unfortunately, after the update completed, I can no longer connect via USB without getting a red screen and the message "communication error 8". I opened a new case with Uconnect support (9133376) last weekend and I am still waiting for a response. When I called in yesterday "Janelle" told me that I should wait for my case manager to contact me.

I also opened a case with Google for the red screen error and Google support told to change the date on my radio, which is not an option, and to manually set the time on the phone (Google Pixel XL) and on the radio, and also to delete and re-add my account to my phone. These actions did not fix the problem. I am also waiting for Google to call me back.

At this time the Sirius XM/Guardian software can no longer locate or remote start my vehicle, and I can no longer connect my phone to the radio without receiving the red screen and error #8.

So far, I am thoroughly unimpressed with the changes that have been made to this new model of Uconnect radio and with the Sirius, Uconnect, and Google support teams. Had I known that the new version of the radio was going to be this much trouble, I would have bought a different vehicle.
