For those of you out there lucky enough not be caught in the Semi-Obligatory AT&T Infinite Activation Queue.....

Does anyone have the Chrysler UConnect system in their car? If so, have you linked your iPhone to it as yet? What level of compatibility did you get?

I just bought my iPhone and I have a 2007 Dodge Nitro with a myGIG Entertainment System that includes integrated uConnect. The pairing process worked flawlessly; however when I try to dial a call, my iPhone dials but I cannot hear the caller and they cannot hear me. This happens whether I initiate the call from the iPhone or from the uConnect system.

Am I doing something wrong? Is there some setting I am missing on the iPhone? My uConnect system was working previously with a T-Mobile Wing running the Windows Mobile 6 operating system without issue. Has some firmware or something come out for iPhone yet that I need?

Any responses are surely appreciated!

If there are issues with iPhone and UConnect - it will definitely queer the deal as far as me buying the phone. '05 Jeep GC Limited

No problems here pairing my iPhone with my 2007 Ram... The volume is a little quiet, though I sure that will be fixed once Apple releases their first update...

Doesn't work as well in my 2005 Chrysler 300 as my previous phone (Moto V600). Original pairing was trouble free. Just got back from a trip. Three out of five inbound calls could not be answered. Two of those three went to voicemail; one I picked up with the phone. On the two voicemails, the system properly announced an incoming call and I immediately pressed the UConnect button. One of those calls was already in voice mail. For the other, iPhone said it was paired (back when I turned on Bluetooth) but UConnect seemed to need to confirm the pairing when the call came in, before answering the call: the first press of UConnect button resulted in "Ready" announcement. By second press, call was in voicemail and phone was frozen: slider could be slid but phone would not "open". I've only made one or two outbound calls and they worked. I'm planning to do more research in the garage. This cannot be as good as it gets.

Just got my iPhone about 24 hours ago. Paired it up with my '05 Jeep GC Limited. No problems there. First phone call .... hung up before the 1st ring and I was watching the iPhone and noticed the "Slide to Unlock". I thot .... nah - this isn't going to work if I have to "slide" too!.

Second phone call - no problem. Third call - no problem. Have yet to test it with an incoming call. This was a BIG deal with me - to make sure UConnect worked. Don't think I'll ever own another vehicle that doesn't have BT.

Have you resolved this issue?
I just installed a myGig in my 07 Jeep Wrangler and have the same problem. It will dial my iPhone but the radio kicks back in imediately after it dials and the party I called can't hear me and I can't hear them.

Guess the first thing I'd try is a restore of the phone (version 1.0.2?) and then pair the phone again with UConnect.

Mine has worked flawless in every regard since I did the upgrade to 1.0.2. And something is going on tomorrow (9/5) with Apple's Media event. Don't know if it involves iPhone (iPods supposedly).

Yes, I have 1.0.2. the pairing part went flawless.
I think the 05 system is very different from the 07 system.

Not sure why. I had to get a third party box that re-enables it.

OK -- so I have a 2007 Dodge Nitro with the myGig Infotainment system with uConnect that just does not work with the iPhone. I am on firmware version 1.0.2 and did a complete reset of the iPhone and the uConnect system. Same issue -- it pairs fine, but if I dial out the phone connects, but the uConnect immediately disconnects. I brought it to Dodge and they claim the system is "iPhone compatible". I asked to try it in another Nitro on the lot to see if it worked but they didn't have any with the myGig installed. Anyone else have any luck?

Hello,

I too have the same problem as you.
I suspect we're both screwed until either Apple or Chrysler roll out a software update, or a less likely solution of a hack or mod.
In some rare cases a downgrade may fix issues like this.

I have also had some other gliches with the MyGig not related to the iphone, so I am guessing that it is the MyGig causing the problem.

What's the name of the third party box and where do I get one? I just got a wrangler with mygig and obviously have the same issue. The dealer told me a software update was coming in a couple of weeks and he'd upgrade mine as soon as it's available. Still won't help the Uconnect feature in the Wrangler, though, I'm betting. Mine was a dealer installed option, sot the rearview doesn't have a mic.

This only partially works for me.
I downloaded the patch, burned it to CD, and updated my MYGIG unit.
At first I thought all was well after making a call with it.
But then I discovered an incoming call is not recognized at all by the MYGIG unit, thus I can't answer it using the U-connect system.

Anyone else have this issue?

You can re-enable your wranglers U-connect system with a product from NAVTV called the BLUEGIG or ALLGIG.
The first one re-enables the U-connect system and comes with a mic the other will also allow front panel display in motion.

Although, I'm still having trouble with my iphone working with Uconnect correctly

I have an 07 Jeep Wrangler with the MYGIG and ALLGIG.
I have already installed the software update for the MYGIG "NTG4_9.561".

What software version do you have on your iphone?
And what software update are you refering to for the MYGIG?

I have the latest software version 1.1.2 for the iphone.
it paired fine, and works great to make a call, however when you receive a call the iphone rings but the MYGIG does not recognize it has an incoming call.

I just tried it with a Motorola SLVR and the SLVR worked fine

My phone is un-modified.
I don't think this would be the difference because everyone seems to be reporting it works great and I doubt they all have modded phones.
I think 07, 08 are the same.
Where did you get the software update for the MYGIG?
Perhaps there's some difference there

This one's frustrating, I've done everything everyone else has to correct this problem but it refuses to recognize incoming calls.

The motorola worked without effort.

Yes there is something to make the button work it's a third party box that re-enables that feature the dealer told you doesn't work.
It's made by navtv http://www.navtv.com

They make a couple different boxes for Chrysler
One's called a BlueGIG, it re-enables your button, the second ones called a freeGIG it allows front panel display while in motion, and the third is called an AllGIG that combines the two.

You wouldn't need the FreeGIG or the AllGIG since you don't have front panel video. However a BlueGIG will re-enable that button for you

I think the Parrot is a handsfree third party solution yes?
It should do for you what the blueGIG will do for you, it's just not built in.

The parrot is a complete 3rd party hands free solution.

The BlueGIG re-enables your wranglers built in hands free feature.

If your interested go to the navTV website and call Susanne.
She's very nice and very helpfull.



Since you say you don't have the MYGIG I assume you have the regular radio.

What a Pisser..... I have an inline caller I.D blocker on my home phone.
This was the cause of this behavior. I'm not sure if any caller I.D blocked call will act the same or not. I suspect this is an iphone/caller I.D blocked issue.

Because when I tested the motorola SLVR with my home phone it worked fine.
It did not act the same way as the iphone.

I suspected something was amiss earlier today when I got in the jeep while talking to a friend, as soon as I started the jeep the u-connect took over the call automatically.

With a caller I.D Blocked incoming call the iphone will ring but the U-connect system will not recognize it as an incoming call.
At least here in south eastern MI.
I'm not sure if it does this everywhere or if it will do this with other handsfree/headset systems.
But I verified it by dialing *67 before dialing my iphone.

Chrysler doesn't make the U-connect option for the wrangler but everything is already there except the microphone.

Buy the BLUEGIG or ALLGIG from navtv and it comes with the mic.
I have had it installed for several months and it works fine in a wrangler.
All it does is re-enable the built in U-connect and voice recognition.

If you have the top off it probably doesn't work that well but so what.
The majority of the time my top is not off.

There are two products from NAV-TV (Phone - (866) 477-3336) (http://www.navtv.com) ask for susanne. There is the bluegig and the allgig.
The bluegig gives you a mic and a box that re-enables your uconnect.
The allgig does that plus allows video in motion.
This is not a complete 3rd party bluetooth solution, rather it re-enables your factory system.

If you have the MYGIG unit I would recommend the ALLGIG

This is basically the same thing as the nav-tv unit.
It will re-enable your u-connect system.
However, this won't fix your iphone profile issues with the MyGIG unit.

That software comes from a company called Harman Becker.
They make the stereo for Chrysler.
A new update just came out in the past few weeks too

No it's not niave,
While technically possible I do not believe the iphone or the radio is set up to work this way. The cleanest audio would probably be to use the regular audio out mini jack on the iphone and the mini jack audio input on the radio.

Well,

It sounds like you have one of the FM systems that broadcast your ipod/iphone over FM. Chrysler makes an ipod connection kit that is similar except it connects inline with your stereo's antenna. This at least in theory has less interference. you could look into one of those.
Or while I know it's expensive you could look into a stereo replacement.

Which radio do you have?
Do you have a picture of it?

It was factory installed system. The manual for the car only shows radio without Nav system. Seperate book for Nav system. How does the ipod connection kit work? wouldn't that just be over FM as well? I don't have any pictures.

It is but supposedly gets better reception because it's connected directly to your stereo's antenna. It sounds as though you may be better off to look to the aftermarket for a solution.

It wouldn't hurt to check with your dealer though to see if they have a solution.

Yes that is it, notice there are two versions.
One is FM, the other is canbus (The same as your stereo) in other words it's hard wired into your stereo, no need for FM.

I would try the Canbus version.

I have a new 3G and it paired fine with the Uconnect. volume level for calls is very low causing me to turn the volume all the way up to barely hear the caller. sometimes i can't hear them at all. outgoing calls require me to hold my finger on the uconnect choice on the iphone until the uconnect kicks in. Anybody else confirm this behavior? None of this was true for my nokia 3650 which worked well but had a problem with calls placed from the phone - the uconnect did not kick in untill the call was completed causing bno end of confusion.

You might want to check with your dealer an see if there's an upate for your stereo. I don't have the 3G yet. but people were having similar problems with the original iphone before there was an update released for the radio.

For those of you out there lucky enough not be caught in the Semi-Obligatory AT&T Infinite Activation Queue.....

Does anyone have the Chrysler UConnect system in their car? If so, have you linked your iPhone to it as yet? What level of compatibility did you get?

I Have a 2007 Jeep Grand Cherokee and when upgraded to the new soft ware for my iPhone the ucconect won't work. The funny thing is that it worked once then it stopped working. The Blue tooth indicator on my phone doesn't seem to recognize my uconnect. Any ideas?

update your phone and radio.
Remove the connection setup on both the phone and re-setup both.
Make sure Bluetooth is turned on on your phone.

I have the iPhone for 2 weeks now and it has issues with uConnect in the 09 Jeep Compass. Bluetooth signal keeps fading in and out of the phone and that makes any call very unstable going back and forth from the phone to the uConnect.
Both companies blames eachother and I am not sure where is the truth. I think it is a nice phone but I am not going to forego the nice uConnect feature.
Looking for a fix file

Purchased a new 09 Jeep Wrangler...loaded including UConnect. Have the 3G IPhone. Same issues as everyone seems to have. no connection, lost connection, etc. Took SIM card from IPhone and placed in old Motorola Razr phone. Re-paired that phone with UConnect and everything worked flawlessly. IPhone version is the latest 2.(something) All UConnect connectivity issues appear to be an issue with IPhone and not UConnect. Apple needs to be advised. Is the IPhone too techno for simple UConnect Blue Tooth?
