I've also noticed that the Jeep UConnect and iPhone don't play well together: no ability to voice-text in the vehicle (unless you just bypass UConnect and use Siri directly, but that doesn't display on car's monitor ). Congrats to Jeep for developing a system that doesn't work with the most popular phone on the market. I am also looking for navigation unlock code for uconnect in 2016 ram truck Thanks given by: Reply. Dudus8 Location Offline Senior Member Reputation: 28.

Jeep UConnect help... (or a hack/jailbreak?)Posted by SlapahoeTribe on 1/18/17 at 12:56 pm
So, my mother recently purchased a Jeep Cherokee with the 8.4A (?) main touchscreen. She didn't opt for the Navigation download at the dealership because they wanted $695 to activate it and couldn't even confirm whether or not that included future updates. (From my research it appears that it doesn't.) I told her for that price you could get a tablet and use iMaps or Google maps AND do all the other shite a table can do. At any rate, she's noticed that when her iPhone is paired with the vehicle, while she's listening to XM Radio, and she wants to use Siri to get directions, the voice will not come through the speakers. I'm fairly tech savvy and I was sure that she was doing something wrong, but be damned, under those set of circumstances, the iMap directions will not play through the car's speakers (nor will it play through the phone's speaker because the phone thinks it is paired with a device that has speakers). This isn't really an issue for me, but she depends heavily on the directions from her phone. Is there a way to hack the car's system to get it to display the phone's screen? (Or to activate the Nav feature without giving the dealership an arm and leg?)
I've also noticed that the Jeep UConnect and iPhone don't play well together: no ability to voice-text in the vehicle (unless you just bypass UConnect and use Siri directly, but that doesn't display on car's monitor ). Congrats to Jeep for developing a system that doesn't work with the most popular phone on the market. tl;dr - Have new Jeep with UConnect and iPhone... how to make them work together and get Navigation on vehicle's monitor?

Return the Jeep Problem solved ETA: seriously if you're already having problems with the software I think it's a sign.

I think there is a U Connect update from mid 2016 that added Siri compatibility. You can do the update yourself, just go to the Uconnect website or google it. Not sure about the voice nav through ththe speakers since I just let mine go through the phone as not to interrupt music playing - I do know having the phone on silent toggles whether or not the directions come through the speakers. See if that's her problem if you haven't already. I honestly don't use the Bluetooth for anything other than phone calls, so not much experience. Also check the Bluetooth audio settings in the Uconnect settings. I think you can toggle what goes through the vehicle and what goes through the phone.

I'll have to check this in her car next time I see her. Thanks.

My wife has had two Town & Country vans, a 2009 and a 2013. Both of them have issues with Bluetooth stability connection with UConnect. Doesn't matter what phone type - it just hasn't been stable for us. As for your question -- unless they changed things, the GPS enabled touchscreen unit is a different device all together than the non-GPS model. They have the same display side and buttons, but the computer is different. Pretty sure they did that to keep people from hacking it and getting GPS for free. As for ScreenPlay, I don't think you can get that to work with Dodge/Jeep/Chrysler UConnect, yet.

I hate Uconnect. Replace the head unit with a Sony XAV-AX100. It features both Apple Carplay and Android Auto $499 Crutchfield Image: https://images.crutchfieldonline.com/ImageHandler/trim/620/378/products/2016/35/158/g158XAV100-o_other17.jpg

They don't do well with I phones. And you don't want it to be able to get hacked. Car can get stolen. Unconnect can unlock and start the car. Plus, the dealer threw my nav in for free.

I had UConnect in my Jeep. I had problems with it from day one. Especially with my IPhone.

It really just depends on the UConnect model you have. Pre-2013, they left a lot to be desired. They introduced the 8.4' unit in 2013 and its wayyyy better. I'm surprised to see people here say they don't like it (assuming y'all are talking about the new models). As a whole, it's regarded as one of the better infotainment systems on the market.

The 8.4 in my 2015 challenger is amazing. And yes, there are aftermarket modules out there to 'hack' your 8.4. Just be ready to pay. I bought a car vent mount for my phone and said frick the in dash Nav. Audio plays through Bluetooth for me. I use Android.

I have a 2015 Durango, which is the same thing as the Cherokee but with Dodge badge. I don't use Apple Maps, but Google Maps works quite well with the 8.4 UConnect in my vehicle. The trick with Google Maps is to go under settings, and select 'Play as a Bluetooth phone call'. That way the UConnect breaks in to the Satellite Radio or FM/AM, or any other source playing and makes the phone audio heard much like it does whenever somebody calls.

Try going into setting on her iPhone Click Bluetooth Find the Uconnect under my devices Click the little 'i' icon on the right and toggle the allow notifications switch Not sure if that will help but it's worth a try.

I have uconnect and my iphone's directions come through the speakers. I don't use imaps though because I like to get actual directions. I use Waze and Google maps

Forgot I had done that.
