Rubicon JLU. It's a Jeep.
I'm sure it's not just me, but I like the idea of being able to connect my JLU over my iPhone for general status info, location etc.
It's easy enough to find the Fiat Chrysler Jeep related apps in the app store, but it's far from clear which ones I actually need and which are redundant.
For example theres a "Uconnect" app AND a "Uconnect Access" app, both of which SEEM to be identical, also Mopar app etc.

Anybody figured out which ones are actually of use?
At the moment I'm just using "Uconnect" and "Mopar" but wondering if I might be missing anything.
(neither are great but they have their uses)

Don't know anything about the Apple-verse but on the Android Play Store there's also a Uconnect and Uconnect Access pair of app's; reading the text description of the Uconnect (not the Access) it appears it has superseded the Access app. Just a data point. You might want to read the descriptions to see if it's the same for you.

The apple store contains many apps. Most notable are:
1. Uconnect
2. Uconnect Access
3. Mopar Owner's Companion
4. Jeep Vehicle Info

#3 and #4 appear to be pretty much the same thing. I have not looked at the other two, just yet.

I have T-Mobil Sync up and it is about the same as #3 and #4.

Where does one find the Yelp app on the 8.4 display? I have it on my iPhone but the only things that show in Car Play are the usual Pandora, Maps, Audible, etc. - no Yelp....

I know this is no help but I'm glad I'm not the only one trying to figure this out. It would be a very useful app to have IMNSHO!

Use the lite blue Uconnect app.
