Anyone else notice that the bluetooth phone battery icon on the screen is extremely inaccurate? I'm using an iPhone 5 and when my battery is half charged, the battery shows red/empty or low yellow on the Nav screen. Seems to have been happening since that update they sent out in the mail earlier this year.

 

Mine does the same thing. always showing lower battery power then it really is. What update ealier this year? I didn't get anything in the mail....LOL

 

I didnt get an update either...LOL
Same here with my Galaxy s4

I think the Uconnect's thresholds for yellow and red are just higher than what most cellphone manufacturers use as thresholds. I know on my Galaxy S3 the battery indicator won't go yellow until ~20% battery left and red at <10% battery left. It seems that the UConnect uses 50% and 20% for those thresholds, respectively. Nothing to worry about. I run around with a 12V car charger for my phone anyways, so if I notice that the UConnect is showing the battery as a little low, I just plug the phone in and let it charge.

 

There was a map update for 2013 as well as a software update that Dodge sent out automatically. There's a thread about it somewhere around here.

Mine is spot on with my iPhone. Maybe it's just related to the 2012 model?

 

I went online and entered my Vin # and it stated that all software is up to date.

Uconnect will display the level that is sent to it by the phone.
Uconnect will ask periodically what the battery & signal strength is, the phone will respond back with a level of 1 -5 with 5 being the highest. Based upon what the phone sends is what is displayed.

 

So, I upgraded to the iPhone 5S last week and now the battery gauge works fine. So maybe it was either my phone, or that iOS 7 reports battery life more accurately!
