To easily reset the Uconnect system on your Dodge Journey, ensure the car doors are shut. Next, switch the ignition to the on position. Press and hold the volume and tune buttons simultaneously for 10 seconds until you hear a beep, indicating the system is resetting. Wait a minute for the process to complete.
Here's a paraphrased and unique version of the instructions:
To troubleshoot, try a gentle restart. Start by setting your car to the accessories mode (ACC or RUN). Press and hold both the phone and vehicle recognition buttons simultaneously for thirty seconds. Release the buttons, switch off the car, and open the driver's side door for thirty seconds. Close the door, restart the vehicle, and wait for the media center to reboot. Check if the issue persists.
It doesn't function in that manner.
Here it is in a more casual tone:
"Look under the glovebox for a red 10-amp fuse (#131). It's in the third row from the right and the second from the top. Pull it out and check if it's blown. If it is, replace it. If not, wait a bit and then put it back in. This will reset your Bluetooth/phone connection, which might have been affected by battery problems.
To reboot the UConnect system in a 4.3L Dodge Journey, hold down the volume and tune buttons simultaneously for 10 seconds.
Here's a paraphrased and slightly modified version of the text: Dianne Carlson
Start your car and hold down both the volume and tuner buttons together for 10-20 seconds. Next, place your left index finger in your right ear and your right middle finger in your rear. This trick may help improve the functionality of uconnect, as the system is unreliable and difficult to fix.
This ain't cutting it. I gotta customize this ride to fit me, but all I'm seeing is what the previous owner wanted.
Hello Laurelp52, I really appreciate it. Your tip on how to reset the connection on my Dodge really did the trick. You're a genius.
Laurel's tips are great! They really fixed my Uconnect when it started acting up.
Can the Durango 2012 be fixed? I've tried different methods, but there's no response at all! My uconnect system is unresponsive and won't switch to the main screen.
I'm having trouble with my 2013 car - my radio is stuck on an incoming call ever since my daughter's friend kept calling through Facebook messenger nonstop. I've tried various solutions, but nothing has worked so far. When I try certain actions, the audio turns off, and I can't use the climate control button or anything else. It's been frustrating me for about a week now, and any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Occasionally, rapidly pressing the start button works, but most of the time it doesn't do anything.
What happens if it fails to reset?
I recently encountered another issue with Bluetooth. I followed Laurelp52's advice as mentioned earlier, and it actually worked when I tried it for the second time a few moments ago. Although the suggestion about opening the door sounded odd, it did work. Thanks again, Laurel!
