Nice video but I have a quick question. How does one remove / hide an icon as seen at 3:15 Example: On the left vertical stacked icon side you have the Google Maps, Music and Phone. Where do I go in setings if I wanted to remove just the music icon and leave the maps and phone icon?
After you hook up Apple Play do you need to physically connect it anytime you want to access the icons on your iPhone or does it then work wirelessly. I assume that the bluetooth connect sets it up just for the phone to be used with the truck.
Thanks for the great video! I just upgraded from a 5'' to a 7'' on my jeep willys sport. question, do I always have to be hard wired to the usb port, or can I hook up to apple car play via bluetooth? thank you.
I have a 2022 Charger Scatcat with Uconnect4 and have to be hard wired to run my Android Auto. The newer Jeep/Ram/Dodge models which have Uconnect5 may let you go wireless. But, trust me, you don't want that Uconnect5. We just got rid of a 2023 Grand Cherokee L that had it after only owning it for 6 months. It was the biggest PITA ever. Stay with Uconnect4 if you can.
THANK-YOU SIR, JUST GOT A 2022 JL, IM NOT A COMPUTER PURSON , WIFE AND I ARE 66/67 ,....THIS ALL CUTE AND COOL ....BUT WHAT HAPPENS IN A FEW YEARS WHEN ALL THIS TECH STUFF GOES BONKERS......$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ !!!
I just went to a 2020 Cherokee after owning a 2015 Cherokee. I wonder why they took the "themes" display option out of the 8.4 UConnect radio in the 2020s.
My car screen is totally different, mine is Wrangler 2020, 2 doors. the same screen size but the set up is different, options are in the sides not on the bottom. And I have manual buttons in both right and left sides. I can get everything on the screen I just can’t access to the google map/ navigation on the screen. I even used the aux cord but still doesn’t work.
John Hammer I did I wish I could add pictures to my comment to make sure it’s what you are asking about. But I think I tried it. My phone is iPhone 11 btw
@@GGxri in another video about connecting up Apple phone, you have to use a Apple cable. Not some other generic cable that claims to be Apple compatible. Otherwise connection is erratic or no go.
In Australia the centre console USB is just for charging. It connects to airplay but then has issues (freezing, etc) Spoke to dealer and they said centre console USB not designed for CarPlay connection
Have iphone x , i can stream my music with the radio via Bluetooth or need connect the iphone via cable at usb. The apple carplay is via Bluetooth or need be connected via cable at usb. Thanks
How many phones can you connect over Bluetooth?....my jeep wrangler doesn't let me connect another phone. Also my android car play was working fine and now when I plug it in it says Device Not Supported any idea why?
You should be able to have multiple bluetooth phones memorized in the UConnect system but only one active bluetooth connection can be made at a time. You might want to reset your Uconnect system if it is not recognizing a compatible device for Android Auto, and also try using a different cable to connect your device to see if that's the issue.
I have a 2020 Wrangler 4 door. I can get all my apps to work except the Vehicle Owner Guide, it keeps saying content not available, try again later. Can you help with this? I’ve called Uconnect, Mopar, and Jeep and no one seems to know what the probLet is.
Question about Uconnect & SiriusXM: Has anyone figured out how to get the Favorites Song/Artist Selection to work consistently? It will work sometimes, but then other times when the notification comes up and you switch over to the favorites screen it will be blank, but if you search around you might find one of your favorites songs/artists currently playing (Along with the solid white star, signifying it's in your Favorites list. This has been a reported problem on the Jeep forums for several YEARS (Haven't searched others forums)!!!! Updates to the software have reportedly not resolved the issues. There have been promises from JeepCares, but no resolution from either JeepCares, SiriusXM or FCA. Also, side note, sometimes the backup screen freezes, or the head unit will just reboot on it's own.
Thanks for the info! I was wondering if anyone knew of a way to receive a phone call on the actual phone and stay connected to the Uconnect and still he able to listen to like the regular radio or SiriusXM? I have to completely disconnect my Bluetooth even if I’m not listening to music from my iPhone in order to talk on the phone and be able to hear my music. Is there a trick?
Any Jeep enthusiasts?? The heat in my jeep seems completely schizophrenic. Anyone else have this problem? I put it up to 20 degrees. It blows ice cold for 15 mins and then gradually starts to warm up. Then the "Heat" goes to like furnace hot. It says 20 degrees but i swear the indicated temperature has no bearing on how hot it actually is. I personally think the indicated heat is just a bullshit LED designed to make you think its warming up. It has nothing to do with the ACTUAL temperature coming out because I put my hand on the vent and it is ROASTING HOT. I then turn the temperature down and the "Heat" goes ICE COLD all over again. It cycles back and forth between ROASTING HOT or ICE COLD. There is no happy medium. I've given up on it.
Good thing your mom wasn't a jokestir, she could of named you jack, but u probably heard that already, they would call John f Kennedy jack, Jack is nick name for john
Awesome. you are a big help you take your time showing what is what .I will look for more of your videos thank you
Great info! I have a new Wrangler JL and learned some new tips!
Thanks! I'm so glad to hear that this video shared something new with you!
just got a 21, how in the world do you turn the screen ON without turning the radio/media on???

On apple carplay can you make it full screen because on carplay the screen is very small
After you hook up Apple Play do you need to physically connect it anytime you want to access the icons on your iPhone or does it then work wirelessly. I assume that the bluetooth connect sets it up just for the phone to be used with the truck.
Thanks so much for making this video learned so much .
Thanks John!
You're welcome Paula!
Thanks for the walk thru. Is there anyway to set the system to default to something other than the radio when I turn it on?

Hello, how can I store my music instead of plugging a USB device?
Now I really want to buy a Jeep
Do it do it! I love mine!
My Sirius icon is missing but the build sheet says it is supposed to be installed, is it possibly hidden?
How do you select the station for preset can you show how to do that...
@3:15 how did you get your screen to display iPhone apps??? I have a 2018 Sahara and it looks nothing like that 😭
Your car has to have Apple Play to display the iPhone apps. UConnect by itself does not enable those features.

How to track my Wrangler via the jeep app?
What if I have an after market extreme audio screen 3001 on my Jeep Wrangler JL 2018
Thanks so much!

Hanna did you try connecting your smartphone via USB cable to get Apple CarPlay or Android Auto to show up?
John Hammer I did
I wish I could add pictures to my comment to make sure it’s what you are asking about.

Does the climate control screen work on the sport?
My question would be does the climate control "WORK?"
In Australia the centre console USB is just for charging. It connects to airplay but then has issues (freezing, etc) Spoke to dealer and they said centre console USB not designed for CarPlay connection
Uconnect app would not be available on a 2018 wrangler jl with the 5.0 screen, right ?
Have iphone x , i can stream my music with the radio via Bluetooth or need connect the iphone via cable at usb.
The apple carplay is via Bluetooth or need be connected via cable at usb.
Thanks
Currently CarPlay on this model Jeep is via cable at usb only
What sucks is you can’t mirror you’re phone unless it’s plugged in
Right Dustin it would be nice if it could be wireless like some newer models. Maybe a future refresh will come with wireless??
Stuff like the 21 durango and Pacifica have the newer uconnect 5 that has wireless carplay and Android auto
Can you change the background image? for example the picture of a beach vacation travel
That's a great question: I don't think there is an option within the menus that allows you to change the background image on the UConnect interface
You can change the background in the settings
Display
Themes
My Jeep menu doesn’t mirror the iPhone menu at all 🤷♂️
My phone is paired and I can make calls but I can’t get any app to show on my screen (CarPlay, maps, Waze app etc))
Can’t you set the temperature with speaking?
Yes! UConnect will allow you to adjust cabin temperature with your voice

Is there a cd player in the arm rest? Can u go through all the u connect settings
