The GPS on my UConnect has stopped working completely, resulting in it picking up no satellites and my navigation telling me I'm tens of miles away at zero altitude. The radio itself is most likely the problem since the antenna is still able to acquire Travel Link data and Sirius XM stations. However, just to make absolutely sure I've covered every avenue before having to potentially replace it, I want to force a total reset on the CANBUS and see if that doesn't possibly resolve the issue. It's probably futile, but it doesn't hurt to try.
Another thing I noticed prior to this problem was my UConnect being unable to properly update its file cache contents from my USB drive for music. For example, if I use voice command to tell my radio to play a certain song, it can't seem to do it with about a quarter of the music on the drive. The resulting error causes it to just play the first file on the device. I don't know how much of this is controlled via the radio itself versus the CANBUS, but resetting the UConnect and switching USB devices makes no difference.
Whether or not these two are related, I'm just not sure how much of this functionality is controlled by the radio versus the Jeep's computer.
I'm treating this like a typical common computer problem: disconnect the power, reset, and reboot. That being said, can I get away with that by unplugging just the battery or do I need to disconnect the auxiliary battery as well?
