00:00If your 8.4 inch Uconnect system is lagging, frozen, or acting glitchy, you can perform
00:05a soft reset or a factory reset right from the driver's seat.
00:08Here are the step-by-step methods depending on what kind of reset you need.
00:13Method 1.
00:14The knob soft reset.
00:15Most common.
00:16This clears the cache and reboosts the system without losing your saved presets, phone pairings,
00:21or personal settings.
00:23Turn on the ignition, put your vehicle in run mode or accessory mode.
00:26For push-button start vehicles, press the start-stop button twice without putting your
00:31foot on the brake or gas pedal so the electronics turn on but the engine doesn't start.
00:35Wait for the screen.
00:36Let the Uconnect screen fully load up.
00:38Relocate the knobs.
00:40Find the volume knob, left side, and the tuner.
00:42Enter knob, right side, directly underneath or beside your touch screen.
00:47Press and hold.
00:48Simultaneously press and hold both knobs down at the same time.
00:52Keep holding.
00:53Continue holding them down for about 10 to 20 seconds.
00:55Watch for reboot.
00:57The screen will go black and in the brand logo, Jeep, Ram, Dodge, or Chrysler will appear
01:01as it reboots.
01:02You can release the knobs once the boost sequence starts.
01:05Method 2.
01:06The power cycle.
01:07Door reset.
01:08If the knobs aren't responding, this forces the retained accessory power, wrap, to cut
01:13off completely.
01:14Turn off the vehicle.
01:15Turn the ignition completely off.
01:17Exit electronics.
01:19Open the driver's side door.
01:21Wait it out.
01:21Leave the driver's door open for at least 30 seconds so the internal module is powered
01:25down.
01:25Close and restart.
01:27Close the door.
01:27Get back in or start the ignition back up.
01:29The system will force a fresh boot.
01:31Method 3.
01:32Factor reset.
01:33Through settings menu.
01:34Use this if you are selling the car or need to wipe all data.
01:38This will erase all radio presets, save navigation destinations, and Bluetooth phone pairings.
01:44Turn on the vehicle to the run position.
01:45Tap the settings icon on your Uconnect touch screen.
01:48Scroll down and select reset or clear personal data depending on your software version.
01:54Select reset to factory defaults.
01:56Confirm your choice when prompted.
01:57The system will clear everything and restart.
02:00Skip to previous prompt.
02:01And that's the full picture.
