MUST READ FOR iPHONE & UCONNECT USERS

A MUST READ FOR UCONNECT USERS**

i have a 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee w/ uconnect and the new iPhone G3. i thought i had the same pairing issue (it paired fine, but would not connect when making a call).

i soon discovered that that the uconnect system worked fine with the iphone G3, but had a minor volume control issue that is mainly an inconvenience more then anything. not sure if this issue is the same with all uconnect models, however this is want i discovered. with my old phone (Treo 755), i found that when i made a call using uconnect, it would pickup the call as soon as i dialed. i was able to hear the call ringing before the other party picked up. with my iphone, uconnect for some reason will not pickup the call until the other party answers the phone or voicemail picks up. when the call picks up, i find that the car volume is much softer then normal and needs to be turned up .

one other issue i found, i had both my iphone and my treo in the car at the same time. i needed to turn off the bluetooth on my old phone.

my suggestion is that you go back and make a few more test calls. if your iphone paired correctly, you should be given the option to switch between, speaker phone, uconnect, and iphone. switch back to speaker phone until you hear the other party pick up and switch back to uconnect.

hope this helps a few of you.

iphone G3, Windows XP Pro

Yes it does, so it isn't really a permanent solution. I was just noting how I got it to at least stop re-booting the bluetooth stack.

Hi Guys, I thing there's a Solution for all the U-Connect/iPhone problems. There's an unofficial website with software upgrades for the myGIG Radio. It's very helpful and easy to follow

http://mofv.com/MyGIG/

That's the address just follow the instructions very careful and you are set to go! That will fix the iPhone connectivity issue

This solution for mygig users has been around for a while now, but the vast majority of us do not have the mygig nav system in our cars, and this solution is not applicable to our cars. Thanks though.

I have a 2009 Dodge Caliber with the UConnect Radio ( non NAV) And can't get my iphone 3g to pair either. I can see from the post that this issue has been around since 2.0 That's not very reassuring. It is an issue just with iphone. I have seen every other phone that we attempted with work except the most expensive. You would think you pay enough for a phone that the Bluetooth wouldn't freak out on a phonebook download. ***** you can't disable that feature but even more frustrating apple doesn't seem to be doing anything about it considering we ar almost at version 3.0. I can only hope that when that comes out in like 3 months it will fix the problem. If not it will be the last apple product I ever purchase. I never had more issues with one product. Can't wait for a competitor to come out with a great product and kick apple stock down a few points. Then they might get on the ball. Just my opinion. Paid for an option that everyone assumed would work with the most popular phone right now. GUESS NOT

I have a 2009 Jeep GC with uConnect. No MyGig/Nav features. Same problem everyone else posts - pairs without a problem but when you try to make a BT call (send/receive) it seems to immediately drop the call. iPhone is 2.2.1.

Help!!

First, the iPhone is not the most expensive phone out there. Second, why shouldn't Chrysler fix their Uconnect system? It is their product that is failing since the iPhone can pair with bluetooth systems in cars that don't use Uconnect which would indicate Chrysler is dropping the ball.

In case you didn't know it, Chrysler Uconnect does not work with the Verizon/Sprint Razr. The Verizon Treo 700W also doesn't work with Uconnect. As I said, it sounds like it is an issue that Chrysler needs to deal with rather than Apple, Motorola or Palm.

I will reiterate at $199/$299, it is NOT the most expensive phone on the market even if you went the no contract option. In the ATT lineup, the BB Bold is $399 and the HTC Fuze is $349.

Nokia has a $10,000 cell phone. Swedish company Goldvisch has a $300,000 phone. The Motorola SLVR L7 is $75,000.

I have a 2009 challenger and i am also having the Uconnect issues every time i connect it starts to dial soon as the other person picks up the bluetooth disconnects then a few secs later it reconnects then disconnects and this keeps going on till i turn it off. then if i try using the phone normally i can't use the internal speaker till i reboot the phone. And i have the latest updated for uconnect and iphone since i just brought the car into the dealer with the problem.

I upgraded my original iPhone software and went out of town. Now that I am back, I cannot use my uConnect in my 2006 Chrysler 300, which was working perfectly before. I hope the new patch fixes it. Has it solved the problem for anyone else? I'm hesitant to download it until I know. Thanks!

great news! I installed the iPhone 3.0 GM and it now works with the factory installed uconnect in my 2008 Jeep Grand Cherokee REQ (non-nav, non-myGig) 6-day cd/dvd radio. Prior to installing the 3.0 software, I was on iPhone 2.2.1 and it did not work. Looks like Apple finally solved the problem!!!!

Don't bother, just wait until Wednesday and get the official release.

Just loaded iPhone OS 3.0 on my 3g and it works with my 2009 Dodge Caliber with Uconnect!

Previously, I had the same problem as most of you did where you could pair the phone but as soon as you tried to make a call it would disconnect because the Bluetooth stack on the iPhone would continually reboot.

This is great news for me and a lot of other people.

I hope it works for everyone else too!

Jun 19, 2009 8:43 AM in response to ToxicMarlin

I was experiencing the same problem in my 2009 Dodge Ram Laramie.
I loaded 3.0 yesterday and it began working like a charm.

Update to iPhone OS 3.0 and you should be good to go
