    What Owners Say

    Android Auto

    ""Android Auto is used every time the car is used. AA would not find the phone to display the maps. But the infotainment system was also glitchy with using music and the backup camera would not display on the screen when backing up. We tried to change the cables in the car connecting to the system. We tried to reset the entire infotainment system. We took it to Jeep to try to figure it out. Eventually, after 6 months, Jeep sent out an over the air software update which solved the problem, and we have not had a problem since the update.""
