Hi folks!
Today UConnect (10.1) in my 2022 GCL SR upgraded to MY22-S23.13 from MY22-S21D.5. After upgrading, I noticed that the Hotspot password was "null," as shown below and was unable to change/set the password. If you have this issue, keep reading as I was able to identify a fix for the issue.
1. While the vehicle is in Run or On, press and hold the UConnect power button for about 10 seconds until the screen goes blank. This will reboot the main uconnect screen.
2. When the screen comes back up, enter the hotspot menu and disable the hotspot by unchecking the box in the corner.
3. Enter the hotspot set menu where the null password was previously displayed. You should see the password which you originally configured, but it still won't be quite working.
4. Edit the password, and add a single random character, and exit the setup menu.
5. Enable the hotspot, and then disable it once more.
6. Enter the setup one more time and remove the extra character added in step 4.
7. Exit the setup menu and enable the hotspot again. It should be working now, but some devices I found I had to re-configure the wifi connection once it was working again.
@JeepCares Can you pass this issue onto the software engineers, as this is clearly a bug in the upgrade.
