Firmware update. Dealer installed. It fixes the center console connection reliability as well as some other stability fixes.What's a PCM update? Is this a over-the-air update?

Amazon Music works great; no issues.The beta is working for me, I like the new split screen. My understanding of using Google Maps or Waze on the new multi-app screen is they haven't been given access to the beta builds to test in yet. I suspect we will see them later once they get to update their own apps or in 13.x updates. The only issue I have seen consistently is Apple Music. In Radio channels using the skip seems to just play the same track every other time meaning you have to skip, and then skip again to get it to advance to a new track. Podcasts have been playing fine though using the built in app. Haven't loaded spotify or anything else on the beta device yet.
Outside of the car, I'm looking forward to the verbal texting while using AirPods. Like when you are in the car, you will get the option to have the text read to you, and give a response without interacting with the phone itself. I run and ride using the airpods and will look forward to that feature.
This isn’t specific to Jeep, but will affect all Wrangler owners using CarPlay. The next version of iOS (v.13, due in September) will be the biggest improvements to CaPlay since it was introduced. I got on the Beta test and have been playing around with it for a few days now.
In addition to just user interface improvements, the biggest improvements are:
- a side-by-side screen where you can see navigation and your music on the same screen (as of now this only works with apple maps, tbd whether it will eventually allow you to customize with Waze or Google maps)
- now if you go to look at your actual iPhone’s screen, it doesn’t take your Jeep’s infotainment screen back to the home screen
- a new calendar app in CarPlay, so you can click on address links on your calendar without having to type them in

As of now I don’t recommend getting the Beta test, it’s still fairly glitchy. But that’s to be expected with Beta’s. I expect apple will have all of these minor issues fixed by the time it goes live in September.
These features will be free for anyone using an iPhone released in the past 5-6 years.
Looks really good on the 8.4” Uconnect. I tried it on the 7”Uconnect and Jeep crops the CarPlay screen too much. Here is hoping that Jeep releases fix to address screen space for CarPlay. I’m still confused as to why they don’t add a Jeep icon within CarPlay that allows you to jump back to the Uconnect options. I’ve seen it in Fords and it works great, you get access to the whole display. Crossing fingers that their dev team fixes that prior to iOS 13 release.It’s pretty cool...

I've been running the beta as well. The 2nd beta was more stable for carplay for sure.you can do a split screen or partial screen now with radio and gps (not sure about Waze)
Yeah you definitely have to endure a few funky quirks like that when dealing with beta versions. But Apple is pretty good about refining software before it goes live with a mass release. Keep providing updates and I’m sure they’ll address them. Still have a month before iOS 13 officially launches.I just downloaded the beta the other day. I've found a couple issues and the main one is that Siri is only reading back partial messages before she fades off to silent. for example she reads the contact name and the first one or two words of the text and then she fades off. I sent feedback.
The other thing I sent feedback on wasn't specific to iOS 13 as it's also in 12 is that the screen background when playing Music/Spotify/Pandora is the album artwork all muddled and pretty crappy looking. It should just be a user defined screen artwork or something. I will say that in 13, the artwork is much better displayed in separate icons.
Not only that, but if you run your phone in "dark mode" the CarPlay screen is also dark mode.It’s pretty cool...
You don't have to be in dark mode for the Carplay screen to be dark.Not only that, but if you run your phone in "dark mode" the CarPlay screen is also dark mode.
I personally like the Google Assistant far more than Siri, though. Siri is not capable of half the things that GA can respond to while driving and so I never use the touch interface with a new version of Android vs IOS. I have an XS Max right now, but that Note 10 release has me looking.. and it’s mainly because of the assistant AI that Google has integrated.From a design and usability stand point Apple Car Play is far superior to Android Auto. I switched from an iPhone to a Google Pixel 3 for a little over a year so I've spent ample time with both platforms. I'm excited to see how the new Car Play works out. Comparatively, I found myself taking longer to perform tasks on the screen with Android Auto thus more time with my eyes off the road. Apple's design sensibility has always been superb and in this case I think it's safer.
Happy to report that the issues noted above have been eliminated in the latest version (beta 7)I just downloaded the beta the other day.
