Unconnect 8.4" Issues

[JOKeefe]

Almost 7 months later and no solution to this issue. New case number created, hopefully get some answers. Was told beginning of August that I would receive the update within a month. As much as I love Jeeps, can't see myself owning another when FCA doesn't care about their customers or their product.

I feel your pain, I've been dealing with my issues for months, and trying to get a replacement. Just a word to the wise, Jeep Chat, Jeep Cares, and any another other Jeep representative that is not at Chrysler HQ is totally worthless in my experience. I had a case number and never was contacted by anyone from jeep, at anytime, on this planet, anywhere, ever. Great customer service.... not!

The only issue I had was that the GPS lost its voice, wouldn't give audio directions. Took it to the dealer who confirmed the issue. They replaced the whole thing, but didn't notify SiriusXM. I had a hell of a time convincing SiriusXM that I was still entitled to the remainder of my free trial. They told me it wasn't transferrable. I finally talked to someone who understood what had happened and finally got it taken care of.

I have the exact same issue, my dealer "refused" to deal with Sirius XM or fix the Sirius or Guardian services. So now that I have a 3rd radio on order, I refuse to call Sirius to fix the 2nd radio when I'm going to have a 3rd radio soon.

Que Jeep Cares -- " If we can help, please send us a PM"

Upon which all Jeep Cares will state is " We are letting the dealership handle this "

Upon which the dealerships says " There's nothing we can do"

Upon which I say "...cough cough Lemon Law."

Jeepcares can't do anything for me because I'm Canadian. Hate to say it, but should have bought another Ford.

I just had an issue related to this occur in my new JLU Rubicon. I stopped to get gas, left my iPhone XSMAX plugged in and shut off the vehicle. When I got out I did not fully close the driver side door. When I got back in after fueling and cranked the jeep the radio would not start. Just a dead black screen. Drove it back to work, waited a few minutes tried again..nothing. What fixed it was pulling fuse F97, marked as "radio" in the schematics. This brought everything back.

Update:
Told by Uconnect customer care that a software update has been released. Was told to contact dealer service to schedule appointment. Appointment booked for tomorrow, January 10. We'll see if this FINALLY gets fixed. I'll update here over the weekend once I get a few days driving to verify issues are no more.

I just started experiencing this today, screen is completely black and non responsive, do I have to take it to the dealer I bought it from for updates on software or take it to a local Jeep dealership?

Hoping that this fixes itself but I’m without music, nav, and anything else that falls within the Uconnect category, not fun spending 55k on a vehicle to experience issues like this.

Going to check the fuses and see what happens...

Still stuck with a freezing, non-responsive screen. 8 months now. Dealer being advised to NOT replace head unit. All FCA says is "wait for an update."
Considering the backup camera isn't always functional, and the camera was mandatory, I'd consider this a safety hazard. A safety hazard that FCA is both aware of, and refuses to do anything about.

I don't believe Chrysler or Jeep knows how to fix this issue....

My issues with Uconnect are intermittent and not yet too serious. The data does not always download properly from my iPhone to the Jeep each time, leaving me unable to control my music selection. One time the screen froze and a loud continuous tone played through the speakers. While this may not seem like that big of a deal, it is so frustrating to spend so much money on a product that looks great on the surface but is buggy and/or poorly programmed so that it only “works” sometimes. $50k aught to buy a truck that works as advertised. If they can’t fix the problem immediately, why should I bother to pay my monthly bill - they sold defective products.
