I had my galaxy s2 paired perfectly but now after upgrading phones, the jeep isnt even having my new phone show up in bluetooth when trying to pair it. Any help?

Something never clearly explained is that there are several versions of bluetooth. Just because your phone may have bluetooth doesn't necessarily mean it will pair with Uconnect. To make things even more odd it is the more expensive phones that seem to have problems while my inexpensive, pay as you go, Tracfone pairs and works perfectly with Uconnect.

Exactly what I was pointing out a couple of posts back. It seems the older versions of bluetooth are recognized better by Uconnect. Uconnect is an odd mixture of things. Some things are the latest technology while its internal phone system is outdated 3G technology. My salesman has an expensive iPhone and has all kinds of problems using it with Uconnect while my inexpensive (and probably dated technology) Tracfone works perfectly.

Great. Now i'm glad you are done with the thread. Perfect right kiddo? I'm not really interested in what you think of the cell phone I use. Lol, I hate responding to nonsense. Makes it feel like my IQ dropped a few points just from reading your posts. Then again, I'm proud of you for figuring out how to use the bold in your post. Great job!


Now back to an adult conversation.

I cannot help you with your problem but thank you for posting. I am planning to upgrade my Motorola Droid Razr and was considering either the Samsung S5 or the LG G3. Although the LG has many attractive features, based upon your experience and others I will eliminate it as a choice.

The problem isn't LG per say. The problem has to do with the version of bluetooth. Not buying a LG phone is no guarantee your new cell phone will work with Uconnect. As most people have reported here it seems to be phones with the older versions of bluetooth that work best with Uconnect. Here is an oddity for you. My Samsung Galaxy Tracfone works fine with Uconnect yet I have to use a third party app to get it to work with my MacBook Pro laptop. On the other hand an iPhone works fine with my MacBook Pro laptop and yet has some problems with Uconnect. It all has to do with the version of bluetooth being supported by the device.

Fixed! Paired very easily actually. There is a setting in the bluetooth that u nEed to check mark to allow it it to view other devices. Then delete your old outdated phone from the uconnect, then start the pairing process. Works like a charm.
:D
