iOS 12 Bluetooth Uconnect issue

I personally don't blame FCA for this issue at all, and lean heavily toward it being Apple's problem to solve. Everything worked great on every iPhone my wife and I used until iOS 12 came out. I keep sticking with beta updates on my iPhone XS hoping that it will finally be resolved. So far, nothing. I really don't want to switch back to Android, but I'm getting more and more tempted lately. It's truly disappointing that with as much as iPhones cost, even compared to other high-end flagship phones, that something as simple as bluetooth audio can't work reliably with one of the most common (not to mention highly-rated) infotainment systems in the world. If this doesn't get fixed by the time iOS 13 is released, I'm going to have to seriously reconsider sticking with my iPhone upgrade plan.

I have also been dealing with this issue for what seems like forever now but, I managed to get my hands on the iOS 13 Beta last night and I have not had any issues with Apple Music lagging or freezing on my Uconnect system since! Hopefully it stays working until the final release!

Yeah my '16 Ram 1500 has had this problem since the early betas of iOS 12 and persisting through the most recent iOS 12.4 public beta. I was in Virginia for work a couple months ago, and happened to get an '18 or '19 Charger for my rental car, and it worked flawlessly with my phone. Either way, 4 different iPhones worked flawlessly in my truck for a year prior to iOS 12 breaking things, so I'm still convinced it's Apple's problem to fix and not FCA's.

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.

I installed iOS 13 Public Beta 1 late last week, and I've been running iOS 13 Public Beta 2 since it was made available on Monday. This issue definitely seems to be a lot better, if not fixed completely, now. I've had zero issues with Bluetooth audio in my truck for the last several days. I'm really hoping it stays that way this time, but we'll see how this beta progresses.

I have an iPhone 8 with the latest update 12.3.1. I have a 2015 Grand Cherokee with Uconnect 8.4 w/Nav. I have the lagging issue just like everyone else but I also have an issue with my heating and cooling. With the AC on and set to 74 degs the AC is reading approx 60 degs at the vent via thermometer. When I move it to 76 with AC still on it will blow approx 110 degs. Dealership replaced the stereo unit twice and can't figure it out. I am just curious if this also is an IOS issue. The dealership said that all of the climate controls are run through the stereo. Thanks for any input

Happy to report that so far every public beta of iOS 13 has worked perfectly with my Uconnect system. I'm not sure why it took so long to fix, but it seems like this will finally be resolved in iOS 13.

I installed iO13 but I can not get music to play via a bluetooth connection to UConnect. On UConnect get the message failed to play. I have no issues setup up the iphone 6S and the phone feature work, but no music :( very sad as music and jeeps just go together

I Just upgraded my IOS to 13 version and i get this big time lag in music play when phone is connected via bluetooth on uconnect , Songs plays way faster than normal speed and endless silent pauses in between. Anyone have any luck fixing this?

Ps Phone calls works fine, I tried resetting uconnect , and on iphone i forgotten uconnect and repaired the same

Same exact problem here. Have you tried to update the Uconnect? I was thinking about it but I am afraid it will do more harm than good...
