I went there, downloaded the file, which is an executable that extracts an ISO. The instructions I've seen say nothing about that part. I haven't seen where they want the ISO extracted to the flash drive or how they expect you to accomplish that part. Unless someone has a suggestion, I'll either wait for their flash drive in the mail or maybe have a local dealer take care of it. In reality I'm not all that worried about my truck being digitally hijacked in the near term.
After extracting the ISO file to your hard drive, simply copy it to a blank flash drive.
Now go to your RAM and turn your ignition on. Plug in your flash drive into the USB port. It will read the ISO file and do the installation.
Takes about 15-20 minutes. It also fixes several other bugs like the backup camera jitters.
It really is easy, I did it yesterday morning.
Hopefully this helps..
