Just to be clear for you iOS users out there.

If you have turned on "Show Notifications" in the bluetooth profile and the Jeep is still unable to read/display incoming text messages. You need to delete all previous text conversations from your phone, I know that sucks but it will start to work.

As for responding/sending text from your iPhone... It's not going to be an iOS-7 fix, sorry... Sadly I don't think this feature is going to ever be implemented unless the "iOS in the car" fails.

I cannot text while driving, when stopped or anything. The message icon is grayed out for me as well. However the system does read out loud any text messages that I receive while synced to uconnect.

I have an HTC Rezound and the messaging feature on the Uconnect does not work (greyed out). I went into the phone settings to Bluetooth/Menu button/Advanced/Check box labeled message access. I did get it to work once but no luck thereafter. Back to greyed out. Has anyone been able to get the HTC Rezound working correctly with the Uconnect messaging feature?

Mine has worked since the first day. Didn't think anything of it.

My messaging worked great until the 13.19 update. I had a Galaxy S3 on AT&T with stock android 4.1.1. ATT released 4.1.2 last week so I tried that. Didn't work. Everyone on the uconnect side says it is jeep's problem not theirs and everyone I talk to at jeep just mentions "compatibility" and that they don't know the answer.

According to the uconnectphone website, the only phone that is supported for the voice texting feature is the HTC ONE. I wonder if they got a contract with jeep or something to eliminate the "compatibility" of the other phones with new software "updates". This is bs.

The 2014 RA4 comes with one year of service (Uconnect Access) RA3 comes with 6 months.

Im not sure if Ucon Access is required for it to read them, or only to send (which wont matter! lol)



as far as iOS and Siri... in the 2011 i had activating Siri was a major pain... would take forever for the car to see the BT connection. Now, its almost instant! Fantastic! Hit Siri and you hear the Beep through the car and the radio pics it up like its a phone call. Very nice

i think you only pay in the states, i live in guatemala and im still waiting for my jeep to arrive, but i tested it at the dealer btw (in guatemala you dont get the uconnect apps) but it worked as a charm for receiving messages, cant wait to get my GC

My work bb reported I had a txt for the first time

Are there phone models that work 100% with the messaging feature the way it is intended? Please post your model if it works with all the uconnect messaging features.

According to the uconnectphone.com website, the only phone that works is the HTC One

Any plans to add additional models. Seems kind of weak to promote a feature and then have it only work with one phone.

False. The iPhone doesn't support the voice to text feature.

There are lots of supported models... outgoing text simply is not working properly on this software revision. There are updates coming to make it work better. Then I can get into more info on models when they update.

Some iphones work some don't depends on carrier. Nothing in texting is working correctly right now though....

Seeing if anyone else has this...when I pair my Galaxy S3, the message box is no longer greyed out, and it shows all of the current messages on my phone. Problem is, new messages aren't received. My carrier is Verizon, and just not sure if it is carrier, or phone related.

Thanks.

In this case if you deleted your message history and limited your conversation history to **I Believe** 20, then it will work. Simply a work around at this time, I expect longer than a 20 message history should be supported at some point in the future.

This bugs me as well... I have an iPhone 4s on iOS 6.1.3 which supports MAP. the message button is greyed out! GRRRRRR

OK!!! Wait. I just tried a different wording for google.

In case others need this:
iPhone 4+ iOS6+

Settings > BlueTooth > Uconnect > (the little arrow) > Show notifications > ON

says that should enable MAP!

fingers crossed!

Got this to work as well. Thanks for the tip!!!!

False. The iPhone doesn't support the voice to text feature.

at least it reads the text messages, and you can text with siri just through a long push on the button , im fine with that since i dont have the uconnect subscription in my country
