@Preston Flaniken Sells Cars you broke it down good! Problem I’m having is keeping my phone connected to the system, I think I need to get a newer phone…
@@TheFrogfeeder be sure to check if your phone has an update available. Connection issues can occur when you don’t update your phone. Had it happen to me a few months ago.
There was an issue with my unconnect my screen kept reporting Important update needed for functions . I took it to the dealership and both #'s match now so I guess I'm good it just was updated today so I'll check it out in the morning! Thanks for your videos they are helping this girl learn about all these bells and whistles
We bought a new 2023 Jeep Grand Cherokee L Limited with the Uconnect5. We traded it back in after only 6 months for a new Cherokee Trailhawk with the good old reliable Uconnect4!
What about with the phone button on the steering wheel we cant get it to make a phone call it will go to the phone menu but it wont make a phone call like the 2019s would
That’s one of the changes that has been made. A radio without factory navigation doesn’t have the same voice recognition (VR) capability as previous radios. Previous radios had two types of VR systems. One VR was through the UConnect system. This is what allowed you to make a phone call, change the radio station, etc. by tapping the VR (or phone) button on the steering wheel. The second VR system was run through your cell phone. By pressing and holding the VR button, you are able to use Siri or Google Assistant to make phone calls and access music from your phone. In vehicles with the UConnect 5 system without factory navigation, you can still make phone calls using the second VR system. Press the VR,or phone button, on the steering wheel, wait for the beep from Siri/Google assistant and then say, “Call John Doe.” As long as you have Siri/Google Assistant activated, then the biggest change for you is how long you have to hold the VR button to get the prompt.
How do I change from the light color background to the dark background. I seen it on initial setup & selected light. But it’s bright as hell at night & want to switch to dark. Thanks
Could be a couple of reasons. First, this is the 8.4” screen. You might have been watching videos with the 10” screen. Second, this doesn’t have factory Nav. so the bezel around the screen isn’t the same. Related to that the screens for the 8.4 radios with factory Nav are flush with the bezels and have a glossier look.
I have a new 2022 1500 Big Horn with the Uconnect 5 8.4. The rearview camera will only stay zoomed for a few seconds and then goes back to normal view. Is that normal? Doesn't help when you're trying to hookup to a trailer.
Thanks, that's what I suspected. The camera has been doing weird things on and off since I picked up the truck. I got a camera not available message that went away after a little while. Today when I shifted into reverse there was no camera image...just the normal media screen that I was on. That problem went away after a couple of engine re-starts. I guess I'm taking it back to the dealer...just over 100 miles on the odometer.
Have a 2019 Big Horn. The map display shows that I’m up to 50 miles away from where I really am which indicates to me is a GPS issue. Any idea on how to fix this?
That was a nice surprise that we (salespeople) weren’t told about when UConnect 5 was introduced to us. You can still use the VR button to access Siri or Google Assistant by holding the VR button down until the prompt comes up.
@Preston Flaniken Sells Cars yes it works with Android Auto but it won't work if I'm not connected....kind of disappointing but not a huge deal....nobody told me that though
Thanks for this video, very helpful.
You really know your way around.
This is the video I need!
There is a lot to learn about the radio and usually customers are ready to go home. Information overload! Lol

@@prestonflanikensellscars9640 I’ll check, but it’s probably time for an upgrade anyways… I want to be able to use this system to its capabilities!

Good luck to anyone buying a Jeep/Ram/Dodge product with this Uconnect5 --you're going need it. Review what JD Power has to say about it.
It’s really very helpful, thank you so much!
I know Uconnect 5 isn’t much different than what it replaced but for some reason I like the previous interface more.

I have this and I miss the Travel Link with gas buddy and weather map. Is there anyway to get it?
How do you get rid of dual widgets on Home Screen? Why does it constantly switch screens on its own?….
Nice flex with the cup at the end. Good job
Ha!! I almost forgot that I had that in there! 💪🏻
Why do I still like uconnect4 better? Maybe it’s what I’m familiar with.
You are simply seeing through the smoke and mirrors--Uconnect 4 is better!

Do you have factory navigation?
No but we shouldnt need factory navigation for a phone call

Here you go…see if this helps you.

I have a 2022 1500 Ram with this screen. Is there any way to update to add for example, remote start?
You should be able to add remote start.
Why does this grayscale screen look different than every other uconnect 5 screen?

Not normal. Should stay zoomed until you press the button to zoom out.

My 21 Pacifica's Uconnect 5 10.1" screen has a very bright rear view camera. On the sunny day it's unusable. Can I adjust the brightness and contrast?
Not for the camera. You can only adjust the brightness of the radio screen.
Tint film on the camera maybe?

When my truck did this, I took it in for the service department to address. It was several years ago and a previous generation of the UConnect system.
can i replace this one with the 12 inches uconnect stereo?
In a truck, yes, I'm sure you could.
'Android Auto' navigator is not available.
My VR doesn't work with uconnect 5 without Nav

@Preston Flaniken Sells Cars yes it works with Android Auto but it won't work if I'm not connected....kind of disappointing but not a huge deal....nobody told me that though
I understand. I guess the bright side is that with UC5, you have wireless Android Auto capabilities.
How do u fix the compass
What year is your vehicle and what type of vehicle is it?
Can you had a nap on app?
My truck continues to lose my presets. How can I fix this?
Do you have memory seats?
@@prestonflanikensellscars9640 no sir.
@@prestonflanikensellscars9640 one guy said they are doing updates on the 2022 models and that it should be fixed after the 1st of the year. 🤷
I have the same screen but I don’t have wi fe !!!
I have a 22 ram I’m losing my presets and when I play my music loud my music start playing from the rear of the truck. How can I fix it
What about media
The media button allows you to change your source of music. AM/FM/Satellite/Bluetooth/USB. Is that what you are wanting to know?
@@prestonflanikensellscars9640 yep thanks
