I know that quite a few people overseas have had an issue with the reversing lines not showing 100% of the time and I was wondering what the Australian experience has been. I have had my JL for about a month and my lines show maybe 25% of the time. There was mention elsewhere that a recent Uconnect update has fixed the problem.

So, does anyone else in Australia have this issue, and has anyone had it fixed?

thanks, Malcolm

I have had my aussie spec JLUR for coming up on 2 years now and the reverse lines have shown for me 100% of the time. Could be just an issue with newer models?

Mine is a 2019 model. Never any problem with the reversing lines.
I do recall reading about the issue, but I think in later models and yes, fixed with a firmware update. Probably need to consult your service dealer to have the update done.

Mine’s a 2020 JLUR, had it for almost a year and 19,000km and have not yet had any problems with the reverse lines not showing.

Thanks. Unfortunately, we don't get OTA updates for Uconnect in Australia. And as far as I know, the Uconnect versions deployed here by the dealer are slightly differnent to the US market. Hopefully there will be a local update soon.

You can always try turning everything off and on again, ie. disconnect the battery or batteries entirely and see if a full reset helps.

Mine is 2 years old and never had a problem with the lines. I have seen other posts on this subject and I could not remember seeing the lines so I checked and they are there.

I think I don't use the lines.

My 2021 JLU doesn’t show the lines from day one. Tried reset/restart uconnect but it still only shows occasionally. I’m not bothered though.

@Star404

A possible way to end that issue of intermittent lines...

When you start your JL, start it and wait say 15-20 seconds before put the JL in reverse.

Quite often it is seen if you do not let UConnect boot up fully that you will have no backup camera, or other b/u camera glitches like no lines, etc..

I have started using remote start and this seems to increase the chance of the lines showing. It doesn't guarantee them though. From what I have read, this is a software issue and the code needs to be fixed

@mal

Allowing more time for UConnect to boot up and get it's act together so to speak does seem to make a difference in regard to this lines showing or not showing issue.

As quite a few others have noticed over the last 3+ years, when you use Remote Start or just wait say 15-20 seconds after starting the JL and before placing the JL is reverse, that this will greatly minimize seeing the hiccup or seeing it at all.

Sure the hiccup could probably be addressed by a software fix.. but the issue is still an issue even with 2021 JL's.
