Well it finally got here. I picked up my new 2014 SRT from my dealer. Super smooth transaction at a great price. I'm still smiling. However, when I try to use performance pages, the app button on the screen MIA sometimes. Does anyone know why this is?

That's cause you need the latest Uconnect software, look for the link and download. Should solve that issue plus other issues like unable to have vented or heated seats while using remote start, nav going bonkers or even problems related to pairing or reading audio formats. You might also have glitches with active braking.

look in the premium members forums...uconnect updates. There a very easy new update there. Youll need a 2g+ flash drive and that's it.

The SRT and Apps button is still MIA sometimes, even with the new software. My guess is that the system is verifying that the Jeep is an SRT then it would load the appropriate software. Sometimes it gets confused.

I just had a new unit installed and updated with current version, i have also noticed the SRT apps does a houdini on me and is replaced by a settings icon. It's as though it is alternating between the two on each start, might drop by dealer on weekend to discuss, nothing major, just annoying.

I will share something that might be a solution. When u start the car u will get the SRT notice screen with an 'OK' button, now if u do nothing the normal screen without the SRT button but when pressing the 'OK' button immediately u will get the SRT button. I cant assure u that this will help but its worth a try as for me this fix has been working through the entire day. Lets hope it doesn't get buggy again

I am having the same problem with mine since I downloaded the 13.38.52 software. Appears to only be happening with Canadian srt's . dealer informed me there is a new software update (RA 1-3-4) and will install it in the next couple weeks. Will let you know if it fixes this issue.

I think i may have solved the issue, well mine anyway, you have to add the SRT apps to your favourites list, i hope this helps:)

I'm in Australia by the way, so don't know if it is the same issue that you guys are experiencing in Canada but it does sound alike.

I've noticed this with mine when the car is started cold, or if I forget to press "Accept" on the SRT screen that appears when you first start the car.

After I got into the habit of pressing "Accept" on the uConnect screen each time I start the car, I haven't had any problems with the missing SRT apps button.

Hope that helps!

We have the same issue here in Oz. I tried your idea today and it worked. Will try again over the next few days and see what happens.

MY SRT is brand new (took delivery in Dec 13), and the same issue is there. SRT button sometimes, other times the setting button.

I've emailed my contact at uConnect.. I'll report back if I hear something. I'm sure they'll fix this bug.

mine in Doha does the same, a member here taught me a neat trick, push the mute and select button together until the head unit restarts and it should reappear, if that doesn't work, do it again, it will come back eventually, hope this helps

Ok, so after trying the word "display" on the VR, i got mixed results with it diverting to phone or something else other than the performance pages more times then not. When it did bring up the performance pages i noticed the VR would announce "switching to more". I then tried saying "more" in the VR, and on my car the performance pages come up every time.

Hope this helps and works for those who are still having the SRT app problem.

Good workaround; thanks for that,

Using VR, I say "Display Apps" and the SRT Performance Page comes up every time so far; whenever the SRT icon is not showing...

Hey don't mean to sound like a jerk but are you sure you have 13.36.2? I didn't know that was even a software version.
I thought it went 13.19 -> 13.38 -> 13.48

I know some vehicles come with different software versions than those one and are never released to the public. Just thought I'd check.

I ran after problems on mine. Got the truck in May, asked the dealer to reflash the head unit in January. Until the reflash, I'd had only one black screen event and one freeze-up in 9 months.

Now, my SRT apps is missing half the time and I can't find the traffic report button, which used to be there before. It was useless, mind you. Only US cities were listed. But my buddy's 2012 300 has the traffic report and his shows all the highways in our area. Definitely weird.
