Default 2011 Uconnect streaming audio

I'm not sure if this is the best place for this thread, so if it needs to be somewhere else please let me know. Thanks

Moderators, would it be possible to have this thread set up as a Sticky?


I have been asked to see if I can get an idea of how many people are disappointed with the Uconnect streaming audio sound quality.
I would like to start a list of people with any of the 2011 Chrysler brands (Chrysler, Dodge Jeep) that also have a Mitsubishi radio in the vehicle (RES, REQ, RBZ, RHB). I mention all three because people will fnd similar information on an issue when searching online but may have a different Chrysler brand.
Let's start a numbered list please. You can quote the reply from the next person, cut out the names and place them into he body of your reply, then add your information. What I need is your screen name, vehicle type and radio model. Thanks for your assistance.

EX: xsdbs wrangler RHB

1) xsdbs 2011 Wrangler RHB

wow, how remarkedly ingenious. why didn't we all think about that????
BT streaming audio will always be open to a possible interuption in the audio, because it's not like a wired signal. The information is sent in bubbles and the bubbles hop, it is possible for a bubble to get out of alignment and be missed. Also Wi-Fi signals can interupt BT signals.

just a little update on the 2011 streaming audio sound quality in vehicles with the Mitsubishi radios (RES, REQ, RBZ & RHB).
The update is being worked on and there is an iPod issue that is being worked on also. The iPod issue is where a song starts to play, then there is about a 1 second pause, then play continues. If both issues can be fixed with the amount of memory left in the module, this will be great. I'll let you know more when I hear anything.

Just had update applied at dealer to Grand Caravan 2011 RBZ radio. Discovered that if I connect iPhone 4s with bluetooth and then connect to USB in glove box, USB doesn't work. If I turn bluetooth off on the phone and reconnect to USB it works perfectly. If I then turn bluetooth back on, USB stops working.

BTW, the update did improve the quality of the streaming audio. I just prefer the USB because I get all of the selection controls and info from the iphone.

Mine isn't acting like this. can you try rebooting the phone? Hold the power and home buttons till the white apple appears then release them. the phone will now reboot. I have both phones (4 & 4S) they both need to be rebooted a few times a month for issues other than just Bluetooth stuff.

OK, so here's the update for the Bluetooth Streaming audio on 2011 vehicles with 1 of the following radios ONLY:
RES, REQ, RBZ & RHB
For 2011 vehicles built prior to 6-1-2011 that have already had either 1 of these TSBs performed (#08-036-11, 08-036-11 rev A, 08-019-12). Your vehicle must have 1 of these TSBs performed.If your vehicle has not had the TSB performed, please let me know and I’ll help walk you thru what you need to do.
1)This is an update for the Bluetooth streaming audio sound quality.
2)There was not enough memory left to safely do anything for the iPod stutter at the beginning of the next track.

Here's the file and instructions for the 2011 Uconnect Bitpool update.
***Important note: Please make sure that the vehicle battery power is not interrupted. This could cause damage to the update and the module. The best procedure is to have the vehicle running during the process. *****
You will need a thumb drive of at least 1GB. If you have files on the thumb drive, please delete them and format the drive (to FAT32) just to make sure that it is completely clean
Download it to the thumb drive that has no other files on it. Once it is downloaded to the thumb drive, please rename it so the file is uconnect.upd (basically delete everything up to Uconnect.upd).
Turn the radio on, Place the thumb drive in the center console or glove box USB connector on vehicles with the factory installed unit. If you have the Mopar kit installed, the USB connector may be in the glove box. This cable is an optional cable <PN 82212160> and may not have been installed if the kit was installed at the Dealer.
Press and release the Uconnect button and say “set up, software update”. You should hear "update started". This process should take about 10 - 15 minutes; there will be some beeps during the process. Please listen during the update for any error message that may be said by Uconnect. When the update is completed, the radio screen will go back to a radio display.

High Speed CAN BUS vehicles use the link below for downloading the file:

Low Speed CAN BUS vehicles use the link below for downloading the file:
<I have added the Low Speed CAN BUS file here also because people from other forums and with other vehicles will possibly find this thread and if I didn't have it listed, I would have to start a new thread for it. So I'm just saving some time (perhaps just being lazy) for others ans well as myself>

Please reply back with your results. I have tested it myself and have also had a couple of friends test it for me.

I just replied to this same question on the other thread also. Have you done any updates to the Uconnect module at all? If not then I will know where to start helping you out.
