why won't Siri on my iphone 5S work with my 2014 dodge Charger

i have a 2014 Dodge Charger with Uconnect 8.4N radio (with sattilite radio, DVD, SD card, AM, FM, maps, etc).

whenever i try to activate Siri, it come up for just a second then blanks off. Won't take any input of even stay on the screen.

I've tried this with my phone on bluetooth as well as direct connection (radio has cable input).

-steering wheel controls won't activate siri, just the dodge poor imitation of it.-

there are no software upgrades for the Uconnect system, and im using latest software on iphone 5S (as of 4/8/14)..

Has ANYBODY got this to work on the dodge charger?

iPhone 5s, iOS 7.1, charger radio is uconnect 8.4N

I have the same issue. So frustrating! I think I found a fix. It's not perfect but it works to get Siri, google maps and phone calls working all at the same time which are the most important things to me. After you start the car, go to settings on uconnect. Scroll down to the bluetooth settings. There are 2 tabs here. 1 for voice and 1 for audio. I'm doing this from memory so someone call it out if I have that wrong. Each will say "connected" in red once your iphone automatically pairs to uconnect. In the audio tab, press on the name of your phone. This will disconnect only the audio portion and leave the voice portion connected. You can now use Siri through your car speakers! Calls will still work too. Google maps will also give directions.


This all works great until you turn off the car at which point the setting will be forgotten and will have to be repeated. It's important to keep in mind that if you now play music or a podcast off your iphone it will emanate from the phone's speaker, not your car speakers. This doesn't impact me as I'll usually be listening to sirius or fm radio when I'm driving anyway. Just like when you receive a call, siri will silence sirius until you're done with siri. Same with google maps.


What this tells me is if Apple or (less likely) Chrysler ever add an option to save your bluetooth device as a voice only and not a voice&audio bluetooth device that uconnect would finally be usable with siri. I guess this means we can be more specific in our requests to apple and chrysler to resolve this issue. Hope this helps!
