Stelantis, stop this shit.

Even the Jeep bot is like, "just click OK, you dumbasses"

I stopped reading when you started whining and ranting like a child looking for mommy's skirts. But then I made it to the foul language and realize you need other kind of help and dodn't read any further.

Yeah…about those mommy issues…

Take the radio out of the dash there's a wireless modem inside with three wires connected to it disconnect those three wires undo the screw take the modem throw it in the trash and you'll never see that again.

Radio reinstall is reverse of removal.

explain for the old guy please

It is not what button you press, but how many times you re-start the vehicle during the day.

Whenever there is a wind storm warning in a 300 mile radius, I have a similar issue with the stupid TraveLink popping up a warning on my screen. Even if I acknowledge it by hitting OK, the stupid screen keeps popping up every time I re-start the engine, as long as the warning is in effect.

It is extremely annoying to put it mildly.

This is a sample of the intrusive screen

Totally understand the wind advisory annoyance. This should fix it

No matter what the reason is for the class action, etc, everyone who buys “the man’s” product pays. The corporate “deep pockets” are filled by the customers of said corporation. When their taxes are raised, a fine imposed, or a judgement is levied, those costs are simply rolled into the cost of their products going further. No one wins by “sticking it it to the man”. We all pay, unless we opt out by no longer doing business with the man.

But, such actions do sting the man for the moment and are hopefully a means to modify their behavior, if only briefly.

The uConnect pop-up ads that really piss me off beyond belief, even worse than this extended warranty barrage, is when a message randomly shows up saying something like, "We see you're no longer a SiriusXM Music subscriber, so please enjoy a complimentary week of free music! (Expires: several months ago)"

There's really nothing worse than being gifted something for free, only to be told "Hey! I'm an incompetent service provider that doesn't deserve your patronage, so let me tell you what you missed out on!"

I've had this happen several times already and still haven't heard a single second of free tunes past the absolutely pathetic 3-month introductory trial.

not to mention, I think what they are selling is radio....that you pay for. yup radio. you pay

Reading all this, I’m happy with my 2020 JLURD with the little radio.

This is the same company that didn't bother to map a PAUSE button anywhere in the vehicle. Yeah we have a button between volume up and down on the steering wheel that literally does nothing, it’s unmapped.

Instead of that, we have a prominent button to turn off the entire infotainment including the display, navigation and whatever else you have, and the mute button isn’t programmed to pause music. And we still have idiots saying the Jeep is so nice for having “physical controls.”

Uconnect is the worst infotainment out of any vehicle I’ve owned by far. Btw no other car company does the intrusive pop up ads like Stellantis, don’t say you want less infotainment if this is your benchmark it is extremely bad relative to the competition.

Yours does nothing? What year / size Uconnect?

In my Jeep, that particular button is used to toggle between the 3 audio inputs in the Media panel: USB-A, USB-C and Aux In.

It's a practical and oft-used physical control.

No that’s the one on the left side, it toggles between FM/AM/USB/Aux, I personally never have the need to switch between them but it’s no problem to have.

The one on the right side is unmapped. There’s volume down, volume up, however the middle does not function as a logical pause button.

2024, UConnect 12”. The only way to pause is by exiting nav or whatever app you’re in and hunting on the massive screen for the pause button while driving. So much for physical controls.

How are you IDing things here?

My perception that of sitting in the driver's seat, which is more natural for the sake of discussing driver controls. On the right rear of the steering wheel -- again, while seated -- is the volume toggle switch, with the AM/FM/Media button (itself a form of toggling) in the center.

On the left rear side is the radio tuning toggle switch. The functional button in the middle of that particular switch toggles between radio station presets.

Possibly the forgoing is affected by model year and/or trim level and thus the head unit. None of the buttons in my Jeep are unmapped.

Perhaps the more clear question to ask here is, say you’re pulling up to a drive thru and listening to a podcast, or a passenger in your vehicle wants to speak up, or you want to hear something happening outside, or an emergency vehicle oulls or an endless list of reasons compels to you to desire to pause the media that is playing.

Does your jeep have any possible way of pausing media without for instance exiting navigation, switching apps in CarPlay, hunting for the pause button on a variety of screen sizes (in my case it makes me reach almost halfway across)? That’s the question I would love to have answered.

And in those situations, what does the button that normally toggles radio presets do? In my Jeep, it actually does nothing. It seems to me that it is the most natural button to control pause/resume like every other vehicle I’ve owned from a variety of manufacturers.
