iOS 12 Bluetooth Uconnect issue

I updated my iPhone 7 to iOS 12, and immediately noticed that there is now a significant lag in song selection when connected to bluetooth in my car's Uconnect head unit. When a new song plays, the song run time is frozen for exactly 30 seconds while the song plays. If I try to toggle next/last track selection using the car's audio controls during this time, nothing happens until the 30 seconds pass, then it changes to the next song. It happens very consistently now with every new song that plays. Also, during some songs it'll do this freeze for 30 seconds where song navigation won't trigger.


Can't overstate how annoying this is. Has anyone else experienced this?

I had commented on this last month and then I got an email from Apple stating that they deleted my post. So, I sold all my Apple Products Imac, Apple Watch, iPads and iPhones and now, I have a samsung galaxy note 8 and I couldn't be happier and it works just find with my uConnect in my Jeep. Not to mention I am able to have it read my text messages which I couldn't do with my iPhone. Thanks Apple for having forum nazis and deleting posts! If it wasn't for the Apple guy I would have never known what I was missing out on.

kind I’d mind boggling that apple hasn’t or can’t address this issue. I am honestly to the point that I’d switch cell companies as well. Listening to music in my truck has become a nightmare.


Are people experiencing issues with iPhone X,XS,XR as well? Mine is a 7+ giving me issues now, with a 2017 ram 1500.


Also have people been to dodge about the issues? They should be updating headunits to the next generation under warranties in my opinion but that seems like a long shot.

Let us know! We wait with bated breath.


What really ticks me off about this whole thing is, I drive my '16 Charger and it lags like a mofo, but I hop into my wife's '19 Pacifica and not only does it work, but it's lightning fast - like, BT profile and connection made within seconds (takes up to 1.5 minutes in my car.) I like my Charger. It's fast. I like the Pacifica too but, it's not my Charger. We need this fixed!

I'm jumping on this thread as well. I'm having horrible issues with my iphone Xs in my 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee and the latest Uconnect Nav (I also have the 19 speaker high end audio). I had the iphone X and had a 2017 and now 2018 Jeep with no issues at all. As soon as I added the Xs a few months ago, i'm having all sorts of issues. The biggest issue is phone calls and facetimes calls on bluetooth force the Uconnect to lock up and reboot itself. I've tried multiple resets and bluetooth pairings with no luck. I want my old phone back! This iphone Xs hasn't impressed me at all.
