Hey guys I did a search but couldn't find anything...

All of a sudden tonight my speakers sound horrible like a static scratchy sound. Used balance to confirm it's all speakers, checked all sources and it's the same. Turned car on and off...messed with settings but no luck. I really don't want to bring this in to the dealer because it will be days before I can. Any suggestions? Has this happened to anyone.

FYI it's the upgraded Alpine system.

Thanks for any help.

Mine does this occasionally, sometimes with popping, when playing bass heavy songs from usb connected phone only. Everything else sounds fine. Hopefully itā€™s just a software update soon. Also have Alpine audio. Wonder if it has something to do with the noise cancellation glitching out. Thatā€™s almost what it sounds like to me.

The exact same thing happened to me today, I have only had the vehicle for a couple of weeks, was listening to SiriusXM when it happened. Like you, nothing I tried fixed it. Will contact dealer tomorrow if it doesn't resolve itself and report back.

Luckily mine went back to normal the next day and it hasn't happened since then. Hope the same happens to you!

Play your music through Apple car play or the android equivalent instead of Uconnect. I had horrible static and popping when using Uconnect. Itā€™s totaly gone when using the CarPlay platform to play the music.

Has to be a software issue with Uconnect.

@JeepCares Add me to the list. Took the kids to school this morning at 8AM, no issues. Got in the car at 11AM to run an errand and all audio sources (AM, FM, Sirius, Bluetooth, and UConnect) all had terrible static... I've had my JLUR for 3 days.

My sub-woofer was making random popping noise the other day even when I had audio turned off completely. Restarted the Jeep several times and was still there.
Left it for the night and issue was gone in the morning.

Two hours later, and it's back to normal. Would really like to understand what happened and if there's a faster workaround.
