Iphone 4, iOS 4
I have a 2010 Chrysler Town and Country. I purchased my iphone 4 in August of 2011 and paired it easily with my UConnect system. However, when I downloaded the new operating system for the iphone my phone pairs successfully, but I cannot make calls. The UConnect system recognizes my phone and has downloaded my contact list and it prepares to connect the call, then cuts it off. The person at the receiving end receives the call, and I get incoming calls, but we cannot hear each other. So for me it is a recent problem.
I am the owner of a 2013 Dodge charger as XT which I purchased new in October 2012. Initially when I purchased the car my phone paired perfectly with the car. However in April 2013 while on vacation my car battery died. After I jumpstarted in the car I started having problems with my phone. I took it to the dealer several times and both times they replace the entire radio unit. When that did not solve the problem I put in a request to talk to somebody from you connect at Chrysler. I received several return calls from a gentleman named John. Basically what he told me was that the Chrysler you connect phone system is Windows-based and we are trying to use it with an Apple product. I explained which operating system I had on my phone and he said that Chrysler currently supports Apple iPhones operating on system 5.0 and 5.1 I have I believe 6.1.3. If you want your iPhone to work flawlessly with your Chrysler Dodge or a vehicle you need to go back to one of the earlier operating systems such as 5.0 or 5.1 that is all that they support at this time.
So, I'm guessing that installing a uconnect is a big fat waste of money if you own an iPhone. That aside from the fact that everywhere you look on the user sites, the uconnect system is crap..
The fact that UConnect is Windows based makes sense. My issue is that I now have an iPhone 6 and the phone calls work great. I previously had a Windows8 phone and my Jeep would read the text messages to me and I could reply verbally and send. My iPhone/Jeep will not read text messages. But the phone paring works great.
