Thanks for the video! However, I suspect that I may need to update my Uconnect system. I bought a new 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee WK Limited 4x4 in June 2022. Since then, I've only put 1958 miles on it. As I watched you video, I could see that I do have many of the options in the settings that you've shown, but I don't have a good many that I think I should have. I know some of them are dependent on the vehicles extra installed options, such as the suspension lift/lower option. But the ones that I'm referring to are those that really haven't got to do with vehicle system's optional extras. For example; One of them is the Nav Maps settings for Auto Zoom or POI, (I may have the POI and just forgot), and several others, which I don't think are in my Uconnect system. However, I'm going by the last time I checked and I haven't checked for those recently. In fact, I'm about to go out and recheck the entire system starting with what Uconnect version I have. It's very possible that the options that I think I don't have may have been updated and installed and I just don't realize it. Thanks again for the video. Considering everything that's included in that Infotainment system, I found it incredible that you could cover it all so quickly and yet so coherently clear! Great Job! Rich

Thanks Rich, glad you found the video helpful. The 2022 should have the newer uConnect 5 infotainment system which I cover off in this video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/kLGDpcug0bfZqmg.html That would explain why some of the features seem different!

@CarsWithSteve Жыл бұрын

Have you tried switching out USB cables too? I’ve found 3rd party ones don’t like to work sometimes. Has to be an OEM cable If that doesn’t work and you’ve already replaced fuses it could be wiring that needs replacing.. maybe factory issue or rodents eating the soy wires.

@CarsWithSteve Жыл бұрын

Could be a few reasons.. If you're on uConnect 4 (wired CarPlay) 1. Check to see that Android Auto is installed on your phone 2. Make sure you're using an OEM USB cable - so one right from your phone manufacturer (Samsung , HTC etc) For some reason aftermarket ones don't always work. 3. Try switching to a different USB port If you're on uConnect 5 (wireless CarPlay) 1. Check to see that Android Auto is installed on your phone 2. Remove the Android connection from the vehicle and the vehicle connection from your phone's bluetooth 3. Re-add the device

It'll be based on address availability for the GPS service.
