I have 2016 Jeep Cherokee Sport. I just replaced my phone after my other one’s battery melted . . . All was well, had not used it since March and figure with winter coming.
I paired the new phone and all went well. I tested the hands-free feature and it locked up. I will only use this feature if I get a call which is rare, but good to have. I called Uconnect and was told that my Jeep needs a 1290 software update, which ONLY a dealer can install.
I called my dealer and asked and they told me they charge $160+ the dreaded tax! SO I guess I’m trapped into having this done by them? I figure this is a money grab. They can update their software when ever they want and keep charging the consumer.
As anyone had this problem?
Thanks
