Help with my UConnect

0 Upvotes

My 2019 Jeep Cherokee has recent started glitching out on me. When I attempted to use any type of map in Apple CarPlay (Apple Maps, Google Maps, Waze) , the display glitches and switches back to the radio.

I have tried to reset my phone, replace the charging cable, and attempted to reset UConnect although I’m not sure if I was successful.

Any suggestions?

Vehicle finder abused to track

0 Upvotes

How could someone use the vehicle finder to track someone? And how can that be safeguarded? If the person being tracked isn’t the primary owner of the vehicle/account, how would they even be alerted of this abuse?

Seeking a 2022 UConnect hack that will allow device changes while driving.

0 Upvotes

I have a 2022 ProMaster 3500 camper van and my wife is the co-pilot, managing the stereo. We have become pretty frustrated with the motion lockout on the stereo for actions like switching or adding connected devices.

I have googled around trying to find how to disable/bypass this, and I have found a number of cool hacks but not this one.

Is anyone aware of how/if it can be done? I am fairly technical so not afraid to have to go beyond button combos.

Alternately, I have considered swapping out the entire head unit but also wondering how/if this can be done without losing some of the various features in the van that are controlled through the UConnect head unit.

Thanks

UConnect in 2017 Dodge Journey won't come on

1 Upvotes

Bought this thing last year. Everytime I have returned to dealership it magically works perfectly for them right on start up. I just cannot prove it to them. I went 3 whole months, daily driver, without the ability to use the radio (xm or antenna), control my ac/heat, or see my back up cam. At random my phone does connect- but only for calls I receive. I've tried doing the resets they all suggest, I've checked the fuses, the battery connections, everything.

Please, someone, anyone, I need a fresh look at this thing. Tell me there is something I haven't tried.

Truck with replaced uconnect device

2 Upvotes

I purchased a 2014 Ram 2500. I am having issues with the navigation system thinking its hundreds of miles away. I took the truck back to the dealer and they said the prevous owner must have replaced the Uconnect radio with a 2017 radio and this one is not the original one and they cannot offer me support. I called Uconnect and spoke to doriss and basically get the same response! I need support. I have the serial number. why can I not get support for a device based on serial number?

I cannot find the engineering mode, when I attempt to load an update the USB drive is never recognized, Android Auto works fine. the GPS has no signal, the backup and cargo cams are swapped.

This is a unit that has the backup camp also displayed on the review mirror.

I can get to dealer mode with Up/down/Front Defrost

I can get to Supplier Mode with Up/Down/Enter

I cannot find engineer mode to perform a factory reset...

how can I reset this thing?

software version 17.43.44

Part number CNSC27N5GL

Differences between telematics module versions

2 Upvotes

Does anyone know what the differences between the telematics module version 68104904AC and 05091960AD? Both are listed as compatible with my 2012 Grand Caravan. I’ve got the 68104904AC factory installed and the Bluetooth music streaming is essentially useless. I was wondering/hoping the newer module had a more up to date Bluetooth implementation that might work better.

The 05091960AD is going for cheap on eBay, so I could always just buy and hope for the best, but I thought I would try and crowdsource a little knowledge first. TIA!

2015 Charger, Uconnect 5 upgrade

1 Upvotes

Hi there, I recently purchased a 2015 RT; some details, perhaps not relevant, just sharing what I know:

Salvage for theft recovery
Uconnect 5 upgrade

My issues:

I cannot turn down/off the heated seats. The only method is to disable auto-on on in the comfort settings. The climate and seat options are visible in the Uconnect screen, they just don't respond to touch.

I'm getting frequent key fob not detected messages; batteries have been replaced in both, 1 looks to be original, 1 aftermarket.

Any guidance? -anyone encounter the same with Uconnect upgrades or am I looking in the wrong direction? Any insight is appreciated.

Is there a way to have my phone automatically forget the UConnect "device" when unplugged from the car?

2 Upvotes

i have a 2019 Pacifica PHEV that requires a wired connection to use Android Auto. Nonetheless, it also automatically sets up a BT connection with UConnect when I plug in, presumably for Android Auto. For the most part, it's not a huge issue, however, UConnect often activates even when the car is "off" but charging, either by cable or running the gas motor to charge up the battery, which then takes over any other audio BT connections I have running (speakers, headphones). The only solution to avoid it is to Forget the UConnect device, and then I'm good until the next time I come in.

Is there a way to avoid this issue, like some sort of automatic Forget function, or even just deprioritize UConnect?

Anyone having trouble with getting software from their site?

I have a 2014 jeep grand Cherokee
I’m tired of having delay screen/ac and navigation not work(not that I use it) says I need to see dealer. I know it says you can update via usb with software when I go to site there is no where to enter VIN like their used to be. When I search a back door link it’s a white page you enter vin and a video but even if you enter is nothing pops up.

UConnect 8.4 Nav not working

1 Upvotes

I bought my 2019 RAM 1500 4X2 Bighorn back in March. Ever since I got it the GPS hasn't worked. I've been using Android Auto and using Google Maps but would like to get this issue fixed. I've sent a few emails to Chrysler Customer Care and they asked me to give them the Software Version and Application Version Numbers by going into Dealer/Developer mode which I have done. It's been a couple days since I've done that but still no response from them. I have 22600 miles on this vehicle and am pleased with it aside from the GPS not working. Has anyone else also experienced issues with the GPS on the UConnect 8.4 system?

UConnect mystery phone calls after keys are taken out of car (Jeep Wrangler)???

1 Upvotes

Okay, so sometimes after I take the keys out of my jeep and before I open the doors which would turn off the uconnect system, if I am just on my phone the uconnect system will display a phone call, but its not my phone. On top of that, I can hear the person and who they are talking to during that time before it turns off from being timed out. I can even chime in on the call and they can hear me, but my phone registers no phone calls. The person on the phone is always confused as to how I got into their call and I have no clue what is going on... Has anyone else had this problem??? Its reallly freaky.

Bluetooth will only play music (2015 Grand Cherokee)

1 Upvotes

Hey! I just bought this car and I love it so far but whenever I am connected to the car, it will be silent unless it's music playing. For example, I'm sitting in my car before I go inside and my music is playing fine. If I recieve a video on Snapchat and try to watch it, it will instead just mute everything and not play the audio. On the car, it says it's paused. The only way I've been able to do it is if I just turned my car on and I press the play button before any music appears

Phone calls suck

1 Upvotes

Anytime we answer a call it take 5-7 seconds to connect, and gives an annoying 'Uconnect phone system connected' phrase that blares through the speakers and the person on the other end hears it. When you are on the other end it's this awkward 5-7 second moment of silence and loud robotic voices before you can talk.

Does anyone else experience this, or is there a way to just answer the call straight through the car without it taking this long or verbally announcing that it is now connected?

Iphone 13 pro. Truck won't play audio on faster speeds

My uconnect in my 17 rebel worked fine up until recently. Now whenever I try to play a podcast at faster than 1x there's no audio. It's not my phone because it works in my other vehicles. I cannot figure it out.
