this was so super helpful. thank you SO much. one setting I did not see was how to enable automatic interior lights when the door opens? e.g. car is off and we open the door-- right now the lights do not come on. thank you!!
You're welcome! Interior light controls are up overhead. If you look just above the "Assist" button you'll see one that says "Off" with a picture of a car with its door open. Press that and the lights should come on when the doors are open!
Thanks Robert! Go to User Profiles and you'll see Valet Mode on the bottom left hand side. Enter in a 4 digit code and that'll lock out certain vehicle features
Thanks for the video, Steve. Could you advise how to fold the side view mirrors of Grand Cherokee Limited Plus 2023? I am struggling find the button for folding the mirrors….Thanks
It can be done through the uConnect screen Display Settings - check out this walk through on the infotainment for the Wrangler ruclips.net/video/DMng8o4ugrQ/видео.html
Thank you for the great video. You helped me figure out a few issues I was having. One thing I cant seem to figure out though is the ability to change the ambient lighting. I have 2021 GC Limited L which is supposed to have this feature but for the life of me I cant find the settings. Going through the setting I do not have Ambient Lighting Personalization option or I cant find it antwhere.
Hmm.. Changing the brightness would be right next to the running lamp selector just to the left of the steering wheel. As for color.. if yours has the option it should be under the uConnect5 screen --> Vehicle --> Lights
Great videos! I just got a jeep grand Cherokee summit. It has the package with the heads up display. I use apple car play and apple maps for navigation. When i drove home from the dealership my next turn would display in the heads up display. The next day i went to use apple maps the next turns were not being displayed in the heads up display. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn’t. Do you know why this is happening? I tried removing the phone and resetting the radio settings back to factory. That still didn’t work
Thanks Matt, appreciate that! The Summit is a great ride! The turn by turn directions in the HUD should only be for factory navigation.. I'd be surprised if you were getting it when connected to Android Auto or Apple CarPlay nav...
Few options depending on your screen.. For the 8.4" screen 1. Turn on the ignition 2. Hold down Driver Temp Up, Driver Temp Down and Front Defrost hard buttons at the same time For the 12" screen 1. Turn on the ignition 2. Press the lower right and lower corner of the screen at the same time for 5-10 seconds (not on the actual buttons but in the very corner of the screen) Those should put you into dealer mode
Thanks for this video, I would like you to explore the traffic a bit more in the factory nav. Does it use a system like google for traffic or is it something older like Tom Tom and it isn't that accurate?
I appreciate it if you can help me.. I can't find how can I activate wheel Paddle Shifters.. I try to use it i get this Paddle Shifters disabled. Thank you
The setting would be in the uConnect media screen. Click on Apps -> paddle shifters. Make sure the setting is turned on If it’s turned on and they aren’t working you’ll need to book it in for a service appt
For cars with push start, without pressing the brake, press the start/stop button once. For cars with traditional key, turn the key slightly without actually starting the vehicle
@@CarsWithSteve BTW, your video did show me more than I knew, that's for sure. Do you have any recommendations as to where I might get an answer to my original inquiry? Thanks again
Well this is odd…. my 2021 GC-L dashboard looks NOTHING like the one in this video. I have air vents on either side of the display screen. It appears the dashboard in this video has an air vent above the display screen. My screen display looks nothing like the one in the video either.
If you don't see the navigation tab on the bottom of the screen you don't have it.. Check with your dealer to see if they have a navigation activation code. If not, you'll have to use Android Auto or Apple CarPlay to use your phone navigation instead
Would be two possible things.. 1. There's a button that says screen off on the bottom right just under the screen, press that 2. Press the volume button - it should bring the screen back to life If neither of those work turn the car off and start it up again
Search for Android Auto in your settings and make sure that wireless Android Auto is checked. If it is make sure that your operating system for the phone and the media screen is up to date. Last thing to try would be to do a full vehicle reset to bring it back to factory defaults
I've heard that happening for different manufacturers with wireless Android Auto on newer phones. Make sure your phone and uConnect screen are updated to the latest version. If they are, try removing the phone from the vehicle and delete the vehicle from your phone. Re-add and see if that solves the issue
@Jesse Cunningham that's unfortunate. Hopefully there's an update that can be applied to uConnect to make it more stable. But make sure you reach out to Jeep corporate and your dealer to let them know of the issue

Great information. How do I turn on/off Valet Mode in a 2023 Grand Cherokee? Thanks.
Thanks Robert! Go to User Profiles and you'll see Valet Mode on the bottom left hand side. Enter in a 4 digit code and that'll lock out certain vehicle features
Thanks for the video, Steve. Could you advise how to fold the side view mirrors of Grand Cherokee Limited Plus 2023? I am struggling find the button for folding the mirrors….Thanks
The Limited is a manually folding sideview. For models with power folding support you'd find it just under the toggle to adjust the sideview mirrors
Dose the 8.4 screen also come with wireless Android auto?
With the uConnect5 screen it does!
How do you delete radio presets ?
It's covered in this video around the 3:00 mark when I get to the media tab
2023 4xe how do I dim the radio display
Or how do I turn the navigation system to dim at night?
Thank you
It can be done through the uConnect screen Display Settings - check out this walk through on the infotainment for the Wrangler ruclips.net/video/DMng8o4ugrQ/видео.html
Thanks Steve. It looks like I'll have to get my neighbors 12 year old to show me how to run that thing. :)
Wild how tech smart kids are these days

@@CarsWithSteve excellent! Thanks for the follow up.
Anytime!
We have the same model Jeep. Our limiteds have white ambient. Ambient color changing is typically in the summit and summit reserve.
Where is the privacy mode available in Jeep grand Cherokee Redio
Privacy for calls so that it doesn't go through the car speakers?
What about displaying navigation on the speedo screen?
Thanks.
That's possible! In the display settings just make sure that you've got Navigation Next Turn Pop-ups Displayed in Cluster turned on
@@CarsWithSteve thanks! Will check

Thanks for this video. My screen is blank and blind spot notifications on permanently. Any idea how to reset the 10" - UConnect 5?
Do you know how do you put it into dealer mode and engineering mode? Thanks
Few options depending on your screen..
For the 8.4" screen
1. Turn on the ignition
2. Hold down Driver Temp Up, Driver Temp Down and Front Defrost hard buttons at the same time
For the 12" screen
1. Turn on the ignition
2. Press the lower right and lower corner of the screen at the same time for 5-10 seconds (not on the actual buttons but in the very corner of the screen)

@@CarsWithSteve thank you
@@michaeljon1116 Anytime!
Thanks for this video, I would like you to explore the traffic a bit more in the factory nav. Does it use a system like google for traffic or is it something older like Tom Tom and it isn't that accurate?
You're welcome! I believe the uConnect 5 Nav uses TomTom
In Audio mode, how do you get to the McIntosh iconic blue decibel output meters in the display? I cant find this anywhere in the settings
Does the 22 Cherokee L Limited have different ambient light colors? if so how do you change them or what app to install??
It's a single color ambient light in the Limited.. You need to be in the Overland, Summit or Summit Reserve for multi color
I appreciate it if you can help me..
I can't find how can I activate wheel Paddle Shifters..
I try to use it i get this Paddle Shifters disabled.
Thank you
The setting would be in the uConnect media screen. Click on Apps -> paddle shifters. Make sure the setting is turned on
If it’s turned on and they aren’t working you’ll need to book it in for a service appt
I can't find uConnect media on the screen..
I can' dawnlod it?
UConnect is the name of the screen. So in your media screen go to the apps page then look for paddle shifters
@@CarsWithSteve i didn't find it uconnect on my car i
Is there a way to play video on the main screen? 10.1" one
Not that I know of. Android Auto/CarPlay don't support the RUclips or other video apps natively
Referring to the 2021 Jeep Grand Cheroke L. Where is the Ignition Accessory position?
For cars with push start, without pressing the brake, press the start/stop button once. For cars with traditional key, turn the key slightly without actually starting the vehicle
How can I turn off the alerts that beep 3x when I step out of the vehicle while it's running, and I have the key fob with me?
No setting that I know of that would disable that
@@CarsWithSteve BTW, your video did show me more than I knew, that's for sure. Do you have any recommendations as to where I might get an answer to my original inquiry? Thanks again
Anyone know if you can remap the controls on the steering wheel? For the volume and song select buttons?
I wish! No factory option to do that though
Wondering, for those who have the 8.4 display, can it be changed to the 10.1 screen?
Technically possible but you'd need the new screen programmed in as well - cost you quite a bit more than having it done from the factory
Brand new 2022 jeep GC l preset worked for a few days now can't manually change channels on preset
Really? So to make sure, the preset buttons are not changing the station when you press on the media screen?
Well this is odd…. my 2021 GC-L dashboard looks NOTHING like the one in this video. I have air vents on either side of the display screen. It appears the dashboard in this video has an air vent above the display screen. My screen display looks nothing like the one in the video either.
What trim level of the GC do you have?
Mine is a 2022 and It doesn't have the navigation system or at least I can't find it. Help please! I followed the steps and doesn't work.
If you don't see the navigation tab on the bottom of the screen you don't have it.. Check with your dealer to see if they have a navigation activation code. If not, you'll have to use Android Auto or Apple CarPlay to use your phone navigation instead
How does the 2021 Jeep car screen work if it is turned off.
It appears black, does not work, and I do not know why, how it was turned off
Would be two possible things..
1. There's a button that says screen off on the bottom right just under the screen, press that
2. Press the volume button - it should bring the screen back to life
If neither of those work turn the car off and start it up again
Need help.. was working Android auto then can't use it wireless my car on the screen he said Restart bluetooth and wifi i trying but Same thing..

Does your Grand Cherokee have the uConnect5 media screen?
