You're welcome. The system isn't really useless. After the dealer replaces the module or does the TSB (Chrysler Technical Service Bulletin), you'll use it and see. Granted that there are many things that you can do "faster" by just using the phone, the idea is that it's safer to use the system than it is to keep looking at the phone and taking your eyes off the road. Once you've used it (or any othe rhands free system) it becomes 2nd nature, you know where the buttons are and you don't take your eyes off traffic. Yes, it's not a s fast because you have devices talking to each other. Uconnect doesn't take the place of your phone, it's an interpeter between the phone and your radio.
There are several states andmore coming that if an office sees you are using the phone to place or receive calls instead of a hands free kit, it's a ticket time.

 

I don't know, I use it in my Ram and a Jeep Grand Cherokee and it works very well in both vehicles. It has an occasional hiccup but overall it has been great.

 

Rippingviper,

I hope everything was resolved at the Dodge dealer, they are your best bet as they do have the latest diagnostic tools, specifically for Dodge vehicles; as well as any updates that may be available.

If any further assistance is needed, feel free to PM me a little more information and I'd be happy to review it with you!

 

Hello Katie,
As I mentioned to him, there has been a TSB for this issue released last week,
TSB # 08-050-12

 

Hi xsdbs
I have a 12 GC and am having a problem with uconnect touch screen radio. I am wondering if you may be able to help.
It works fine except for when I go to voice dial a long distant number like 1+ area code + number. The display reads back the number correctly and then when it dials it drops the 1 and the call will not go through and you get the recorded message that says you need to dial 1 to make the call. If you use the phone itself to dial the number it works. It really defeats the purpose of hands free. Have you heard of this.

 

I haven't heard of this issue, but maybe I'm not understanding it correctly. The way I understand this is that you're dialing a long distant # (is this a US LD # or is it out of the country?)
I have the iPhone 4S and here's what I tried:
Pressed UC button and said "dial 12135551212", the # showed up as: 1 (213) 555-1212 and the call went thru. Is this the same layout that you are trying? If not can you tell me how you're doing it?

1) Is the "1" getting dropped on the phone screen?
2) What phone do you have?
3) Can you try putting the LD number in your phones contact list while not inn the vehicle, then go to the vehicle, turn the key on (or start the motor),give Uconnect a minute or so to power up and download the phonebook contacts, then press the Uconnect button and say "phonebook, list names", She'll ask you for the name of the person to start from, please say the added contacts name that you entered in the phone, have your finger near the VR (voice) button and ready to press it, when she says that name,, press the VR button and say "details", how does she read the # back to you?
4) After the above step has been noted, Press the UC button and say "call (name of hte contact that you entered)", does the call go thru?

Let's start here and see what happens, ok.

 

Thanks for the reply.
I am in Canada.
I am using an LG flip phone about 3 year old.
All of my contacts are set up as 1 (555) 555-5555.
All of my calls are long distance.
I have the uconnect 430 radio/hdd/touchscreen.
I hit the phone button on the radio and speak the number that I want dialed eg 1-555-555-5555 it radio displays that number and reads back that same number for me to confirm I say yes and it dials the number without the 1 in front.
This happens with all numbers whether or not they are programmed in my phone or a one of number that I am dialling.
If I use the phones keypad to dial the number and then wait for the call to start ringing on uconnect then close the cover on my phone no problems.
Hope that this helps explain.

Is there somethingin this link to help withthis issue or was there something else that you're trying to show me? Thanks

 

Uconnect doesn't make the calls. Uconnect sends the # via BT to the phone, if she's confirming the # correctly, then she's sending what you hear her say to the phone. If the "1" is getting dropped, it's the phone that's dropping it.
If you tell me the phone model, I can see if I have one laying around to try out.
Were you able to try using the "call <name>" to see if the call will go thru.
Have you tried a different phone to see what happens. I have tried about 4 different phones and the call goes thru.
