Official App/Feature Request for @JeepCares to communicate

[Sponge]

Can we create an official thread pinned to the top for us to request a feature of the Uconnect system? Only requests - nothing more...in my experience some of the best ideas come from enthusiasts who have owned other cars with features they miss...

An Admin can add them to the top post for easier tracking because it can get out of control...

I will start:

Jeep App:
- Roll Up Windows and Close Sunroof with App
- Vent Windows and Sunroof with App

On screen apps
- MyQ App - no need for Homelink then and a thief can't open your garage unless the car is on
- Alexa App

I'll have to check when i get home, but I thought there was an Alexa app on the Uconnect....

The key fob can roll down the windows but it would be nice if it would roll up the windows on lock, or within the app like you mentioned.

I’d also like to request a Netflix app. Only available when in Park of course.

A native Spotify app would also be nice. Car Play only goes so for IMO.

agreed on remote fob would be better than waiting for an app. I had that on two different Honda's my wife drove. Great feature...

We've noticed other vehicle brands give access to interior cameras remotely through the app.
It would be really awesome to view the FamCam from the app.

I second the MyQ app functionality. Awesome idea!

Did you know that if your cars security system is activated the home link buttons get disabled.

MyQ would be a great addition.

Here's a suggestion regarding the functions of the LEFT button and toggle on the backside of the steering wheel:
Change the button from rolling through the station presets to rolling through the HD stations for the current station ONLY.
Change the toggle to roll back and forth through the station presets.

It's annoying to be able to only go one direction through the presets as it is currently set up, and having the toggle go through HD sub-stations that most people never use is a wasteful use of this toggle.
Did you not run any of this past a focus group??

Also, while I'm complaining anyway, a few more issues:

The Android Auto constantly drops as I drive through town passing buildings/structures with systems operating on similar frequencies. Pick a frequency that isn't so common.
My media page constantly goes blank, locking me out of everything other than my Android Auto apps, assuming they're working at the time.
Sometimes the entire system shuts down and can't be turned back on without pulling over and turning the car off.
(I've reset the system to factory several times. This only fixes the problem temporarily.)

UConnect5 was clearly put out too early, and not tested thoroughly. Jeep/Stelantis should be ashamed to have released such an inferior product.)

Hi tjw68,
Sorry to hear of these concerns, but we appreciate your feedback! Should you choose to visit your local dealer to have your system diagnosed for the blank screen concerns, feel free to follow up with us in PM. We'd be happy to assist alongside them.
