Q: The uconnect in my Jeep is not working properly.

asked by on March 16, 2017

my jeep patriot 2011 is having issues with the bluetooth uconnect. When i try to make a phone call or when i receive one there is a static noise instead of hearing the person talk. It works fine when i play music from my phone.

My car has 150000 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.
