[QUOTE="Riggins, post: 441256, member: 22181"] Hi everyone! I just purchased my first Jeep, a 2016 sport unlimited and it came with what I’m assuming is an aftermarket radio display since it doesn’t say it on the original window sticker? But I’m new to Jeeps so I’m not sure if it was a factory upgrade or not. It’s a uconnect display, 8.4 I’m thinking? I cannot get my Pixel 5 android phone to recognize it to pair, at first I thought it was the radio, but I tried my Samsung Galaxy note 10 and that worked immediately. I’ve seen people recommend changing the developer options for Bluetooth connections, that didn’t work (I’m away for the weekend so I’ll have to try again on Monday). When I open bluetooth settings in my phone, Uconnect does not appear at all. It worked immediately for the Samsung phone though. I’m thinking of getting a backup camera anyway so I’m not sure how much trouble this is worth but it’s super frustrating that I can’t get my phone connected. Also, while I’m here lol, can someone give me a Jeep radios for dummies primer course? I see posts talking about connecting it via USB to use Android Auto… I haven’t tried that yet, I don’t want to have to plug my phone in every time I get in the car, so I’d rather have the display with Android Auto but if that’s a temporary fix I’m willing to try it. Thirdly, that radio is kind of dated technology wise, has anyone upgraded and if so, recommendations? I looked at the JVC and Pioneer ones that Best Buy sells. And lastly, and I feel like an idiot for asking this lol, when I shift into low (automatic transmission) going down a hill or anything, how do I shift back to drive? I don’t know if there’s a trick to the movement but I can’t get up from 4 back into D without going into Neutral first and I’m feeling very stupid lol. (Not 4H/L etc, actual low gear). Thanks and happy to have my first Wrangler!! [/QUOTE]
