I personally preferred the earlier UConnects over the five. It is buggy and we use the "map" and "weather" features surprisingly quite a bit as living in the mountains, knowing when the rain is coming in 3 to 5 hours or the rain in the radar map is valuable. It would be nice if it worked in the UC5 %$^&. The earlier iterations of UConnect were much more intuitive and simple imho. I do like the accessories and the screen that allows me to see the guages while towing in some situations and altitude, always within 50 feet of the Continental Divide signs so not bad. I suppose the off road stuff could be nice, but I'm not doing any MOAB stuff so that seems more attuned to jeeps and power wagons than my and most people's needs. So, to me UC5 seems like a bunch of bells and whistles that don't work and will cost me money to fix... My old 2018 Renegade like UC2 or 3 works great along with the 7 inch TFT in front of the drivers seat five years down the road always providing what I need not missing much. Oh, gee, wait, I only have like 12 pre-sets for Sirius on the Renegade...Boo Hoo, I can't find half the pre-sets on UC5 and half of them are still waiting to be set a year later. I'm listening to the same 12 I have pre-set in the Renegade... But, I must admit I do like that all the guages thing on the screen thing. But I guess you only get that if you have either a tow or 4WD package anyway...so those without don't even get that, just a buggy no longer intuitive system and a 12 inch screen that the dog scratches... I went with an 8.4 on the 2500. NOW, if yo have the surround cameras, that could be a valuable aspect but is that even UConnect?
I still have not gotten the cameras to work yet.
Did you run the camera calibrations in the CVPM with AlfaOBD after you swapped out the old CVPM?
I did. What’s weird is the camera button is not even showing on the screen.
Did you also change VehConfig 1: Model Year to 2022?
I did. I did a search for camera in VehConfig area and noticed there are a bunch of settings that can be changed and was wondering if maybe one of those is incorrect but have not been able to find a post on what they should be.
You ever get this working?
I never did. I am pretty sure it is something incorrect in the vehicle config.
Hmmm...
Oh, the CVPM config is not under the BCM... it's in the radio settings in AlfaOBD...
so if I already have a 4c 12" display, can I just change the module and get it to work like version 5?
No, you still need the new screen and radio module. If you have surround view cameras, you need the new CVPM.
Is there config settings under the radio that have to be changed? I thought only the cvpm calibration was under the radio.
Here’s the fun stuff - to calibrate the cameras using ALFa OBD - connect to the Radio - then read/clear codes (it will have codes every time) then go into CVPM - and have the surround camera active on your radio (even though it will be a black screen). Then back in ALFA under CVPM - do the calibration for only 1 camera at a time - but don’t start the test until you are rolling in a straight line at about 3-5 MPH.
The issue I have is the surround camera button does not show on the 12” screen and when I try to calibrate the cameras I get a failed message.
What software version is your radio on right now? Have you done a factory reset on the radio at all?
Build Number: FCA-MY23.T25.48-PROD Is there any chance that because I have a screen with the lane assist button and my UC4 did not be causing the surround button not to show? I plan on adding the lane assist components but have not done it yet. Also, do you know what that purplish/red connector was for on the UC4? Was wondering if it was WiFi antenna as I found out the green one is Bluetooth antenna. Thanks.
