'Fraid the iPhone connects fine in all depts other than SMS. There is NO, repeat NO SMS capability for the iPhone in our WK2s, only other handset such as motorola
Actually the Motorola's are having a problem with their MAP profile support. You can receive messages and Uconnect will notify you of the new messages as well as read the message, but you can't send a message. Uconnect is telling the phone to send the message but the phone does not respond.
Blackberries, Nokia's, the Samsung Focus S. and the HTC Sensation work fine with the Uconnect SMS texting on the 2012 V2 vehicles. (This is when Uconnect started to support MAP, Vehicles that were built after 1-1-2012, those built prior to that date will need to get the Uconnect SW update performed. This update is TSB 08-018-12, which was released about 2 weeks ago)
NOTE: After the HFM has been updated it will receive these enhancements.
· Reduced "Device Reading" wait time after connecting a device to the remote USB
port.
· Call / Dial separation improves upon names being recognized as phone numbers.
· Improved sound quality during Bluetooth streaming.
· Increased iPod and iPhone compatibility.
· SMS messaging support via MAP protocol (not all phones support the MAP
protocol).
· Added "None of These" and "Correction" to the phone book prompt menu for better
handling of similar names.
· Previous button will return the song currently being played to the beginning of the
track.
· AirPlay feature "Dock Connector" no longer needs to be manually selected on Apple
devices. This will resolve the "No Audio" condition when the device is connected to
the remote USB port and dock connector is not selected.
NOTE: USB mode resume will no longer 'resume' after ignition OFF
I've got an iphone 4 and I tried using the Dragon Dictation app as seen in the video from the OP and also the google search app using the voice command and my bluetooth is not recognizing it. Any ideas?
After we upgraded Android on my wife's phone, we couldn't get it to call out via Uconnect. We tried everything. Finally, after resetting the phone back to "factory settings", we got it working again. Uconnect is a nice thought (when it works), but it can't compare to Sync. I've had Sync for 2 years on 2 different vehicles, and 0 problems. I can't say that for the few months I've had Uconnect. UConnect seems way picky when it comes to types of phones, operating systems/versions, etc.
In order for SMS to work the phone needs to support the message access profile (MAP) in its Bluetooth stack. Blackberrys and most Verizon droids are the only phones that support it.
Blackberries (yes)
Droids (not completely, you can rec messages, UC can read them to you but the Motorola's are having issues sending an outgoing message)
Nokia's, Samsung Focus S and the HTC Sensation all work with the 2012 V@ SW.
I don't really mind not being able to text from my car, but you'd think that if an automaker put a feature like that in to their stereo unit, they would make it compatible with the most popular phone model in the country (iPhone)
my brother in laws old phone sis the sms in his 2011 gt mustang. was funny having the car read a text from one of his friends calling him a stupid cok puffer...( actual words)
this because Apple does not support the Bluetooth profile MAP ( message access profile) and BB does. SMS on Uconnect works fine as long as the phone supports the BT profile.
Recently picked up a 2012 JGC, trying to synch my Iphone to the uconnect and it says that SMS is not supported by the iphone :wtf:
My coworker picked up the exact same car, different color, and his Blackberry SMS works perfect.
I found this video:
(I have the touch screen headunit, but Uconnect seems to be the same)
That guy is recommending installing Dragon Speak to my iphone, which is a voice to text software. Personally I do not like this idea.
Has anyone else figured out a work around for this??
I just bought a 2012 Laredo. before buying it I was telling the sales rep i wanted a vehicle with blutooth setup for my iPhone. He told me all the features of Uconnect. we were talking about me having an iPhone, he had a blackberry, blah, blah blah. After i got home with my new jeep i found out that the iPhone was not completely compatable with the iPhone. Do you think the sales person should have told me that. after calling them about it all i got was, sorry we didnt know. it was the reason I told them I was buying that vehicle.
so, I can use the hands free calling but texting does not work ans SIRI does not work. when connected to blutooth all voice functions on the phone are disabled. so I cant even use the talking function on texting or SISI which I use more while driving that actually making a phone call. So I deleted my phone from the Jeeps blutooth. so now I have a Jeep that i bought to use BT and cant use it. I'd return the Jeep but they said they wont take back a "used" vehicle.
Has anyone come up with a fix for it? I saw the dragon app but dosent see to safe to use while driving.
FYI::
1) Uconnect does support the BT profile for texting (MAP, message access profile), in order for texting thru BT to work, the phone also needs to support MAP. At this point APPLE is the incompatible device, not Uconnect. APPLE currently does not support MAP. They will support it with iOS6 which is scheduled to come out in October.
2) SIRI, SIRI operated features, Visual Voice mail and Voice memos on the phone are not supported currently in the 2012 vehicles. This is because of the way an incoming call is handled while using any of these features. If you're using one of these features and have an incoming call, there isn't a way to answer the call. You'll see that there is an incoming call but there isn't an "accept or ignore" dialog box that pops up on the screen. If you try to accept the call using the Uconnect button, then Apple will drop the feature, as that is happening Uconnect will say "transferring call to phone". Probem now is that that incoming call wasn't actually sent to the phone but Apple sent it to your voice mail. While all this is going on, you're getting upset because you can take the call.
The phone needs to send a BT message to Uconnect that there is an incoming call along with other messages that would allow you to answer the call from the radio. Apple knows about this issue and hopefully they'll come up with a fix in iOS6 also.

Smart phones do enough on their own these days, I don't need it 'integrated' into my vehicle. Get a bluetooth earpiece for driving. Wait until it's safe to do so to look at a text message. Problem solved.
Your phone works with the truck. "Advanced" features are exactly that...advanced. Bluetooth is primarily meant for calls. Everything else is extra. If my phone didn't work with it, oh well. I bought it to be a jeep, not a phone accessory. Do a little homework next time. :cheers:

You should go join the guy complaining about the fact that he got a small rental car when his was in for service, because he bought a "luxury" Jeep. You two would get along good together. Complaining about meaningless cr@p you should have researched or looked at in the forums before you buy. The sales guy is going to tell you what you want to hear...its his job. :cheers:
The iPhone works fine with Uconnect, by activating SIRI you bypass the Uconnect menu, and replace it with SIRI who can call, text, read you a text, schedule a meeting, etc. all through Blu-Tooth over the stereo... Are people seriously pissed that they cant get SMS messages read or sent through Uconnect?

And you should leave this thread as I already politely asked you to. Obviously you are far too stupid to troll me, and clearly no one gives a **** what you are saying. move along now peasant.
My phone works just fine making hands free calling, I am a bit upset it doesn't wipe my *** though
