Just picked up my 2018 Sahara JL with Uconnect 8.4 with Nav 3 days ago. Previously I had driven a Cherokee Trailhawk for about 5 years. I'm no stranger to how the 8.4 Uconnect is SUPPOSED to work. Any my absolute favorite feature on the system is how you can add favorite artists or songs and be alerted when they come on any station and tune to that station if you wish.
For the last 3 days I have been adding my favorite artists to the system. Added a ton of them. As I'm sure those of you know who have the Uconnect, once you favorite an artist on Sirius XM and that artist comes on ANY station, you get a heads-up notification. If you press the notification. the next screen (SAT > Favorites > On-Air) tells you who the artist is and what song and if you touch it, the radio tunes to that channel. For the last 3 days it's been working great...
Well, today it just stopped working. I hear the audible chime that a favorite artist or song has started playing and see the notification heads-up, but it disappears after about 2 seconds. If I happen to press the notification before it disappears it changes to the screen that would NORMALLY tell you which artist is playing and on what channel (SAT > Favorites > On-Air), but that screen simply says "None of your selected favorites are currently on-air". But that's NOT TRUE, because if I switch stations I can find artists that I have favorited and they have the little * beside their name. So the radio is detecting the favorite artist or song and alerting me but not telling me who, and not letting me switch to the channel automatically anymore.
I already tried doing the soft reset listed on another thread (holding the green phone button and microphone button on the steering wheel for 30 seconds, etc) and that doesn't do anything.
I can't stress enough how bummed I am about this. It was my absolute favorite feature and it was working perfect for the last 3 days! Does anyone have any suggestions? I just don't know what else to try. I did notice that the touch screen gets REALLY hot. Like if you turn your hand around and place the knuckle side against the glass it's uncomfortably warm.
Thanks everyone.
