Find Your Jeep at Don Vance Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram!
The Jeep Wrangler is best known for its impressive off-road abilities, and iconic and rugged style. However, did you know that it also has some truly high-tech features to offer as well? Like the majority of the Jeep lineup, the Wrangler comes equipped with the Uconnect infotainment system, which gives drivers access to a wide range of apps, vehicle information, and other great features. One benefit of the Uconnect system is that it allows you to pair your smartphone in order to stream music through your car’s speakers. Down below, we here at Don Vance Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram will be walking you through some frequently asked questions about how to pair your smartphone with your Uconnect system!
What is the Uconnect Infotainment System?
First things first, we want to break down what the Uconnect system actually is, and what it can do for you in your Jeep Wrangler! The Uconnect touchscreen features an “infotainment” system, which as the name suggests, provides both information and entertainment for the driver and passengers! On this touchscreen, you can access music, the in-vehicle navigation system, phone capabilities, messages, your calendar, and so much more! It’s almost like having a tablet home screen built right into your car. Down below, we’ll let you know how you can get your smartphone involved for even more capabilities!
How Can I Pair My Smartphone to My Uconnect System?
Connecting your smartphone to the Uconnect system is pretty simple. Start by heading into your phone’s settings and turning on Bluetooth. Then on your vehicle’s Uconnect screen, tap “Phone” or go into “Settings,” find “Phone/Bluetooth,” then “Paired Phones,” and hit “Add Device.” Your phone should show your Uconnect system on the list. Make sure the code on your phone matches the one on your screen, or enter the PIN if your phone asks for one. If you’re using an Android phone and it stops scanning, just hit “Scan” again. When prompted, allow access to your contacts and messages. To make things easier later, you can even set your phone as a favorite right from the touchscreen.
Does Uconnect Work With Apple and Android?
As we mentioned above, you can connect either an iPhone or an Android to your Jeep Wrangler’s Uconnect system! One aspect in which this might come in handy is when it comes time to play music in your Wrangler from your smartphone. Many Uconnect systems feature Apple CarPlay, or Android Auto, which are two music streaming apps for Apple and Android devices, respectively. This means that no matter what kind of phone you have, you can seamlessly stream your favorite music to your car, and even access things like saved playlists, favorite albums, and more. Plus, many newer Uconnect systems even have wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity, so you can set up your phone wirelessly.
