Android Auto™ And Apple CarPlay® Tips And Tricks
AutoPlay
AutoPlay is a feature of the Uconnect system that automatically begins playing music off of the connected device, as soon as it is connected. This feature can be turned on or off in the Uconnect Settings, within the Audio Settings category. Its default setting is on.
AutoPlay® is not supported by Android Auto™.
After connecting to Android Auto™ for the first time and undergoing the setup procedure, the smartphone will automatically pair to the Uconnect system via Bluetooth® without any setup required every time it is within range, if Bluetooth® is turned on.
Android Auto™ features cannot be used with Bluetooth®, a USB connection is required for its use. Android Auto™ uses both Bluetooth® and
USB connections to function, and the connected device will be unavailable to other devices when connected using Android Auto™.
It is possible to have multiple devices connected to the Uconnect system. For example, if using Android Auto™/Apple CarPlay®, the connected device will be the one that will be used to place hands-free phone calls or send hands-free text messages. However, another device can also be paired to the Uconnect system, via Bluetooth®, as an audio source, so the passenger can stream music.

Examples of Voice Commands are provided throughout this manual. For quick use, go to the Voice Command Quick Reference Section.
Your phone must be capable of SMS messaging via Bluetooth® for messaging features to work properly.
Your mobile phone’s audio is transmitted through your vehicle’s audio system; the system automatically mutes your radio when using the Uconnect Phone.

Uconnect Phone allows you to transfer calls between the system and your mobile phone as you enter or exit your vehicle and enables you to mute the system's microphone for private conversation.
The Uconnect Phone is driven through your Bluetooth®“Hands-Free Profile” mobile phone. Uconnect features Bluetooth® technology — the global standard that enables different electronic devices to connect to each other without wires or a docking station, so Uconnect Phone works no matter where you stow your mobile phone (be it your purse, pocket, or briefcase), as long as your phone is turned on and has been paired to the vehicle's Uconnect Phone. The Uconnect Phone allows up to 10 mobile phones or audio devices to be linked to the system. Only one linked (or paired) mobile phone and one audio device can be used with the system at a time.
The Uconnect Phone button on your steering wheel is used to get into the phone mode and make calls, show recent, incoming, outgoing calls, view phonebook etc.
The Uconnect Voice Command button on your steering wheel is only used for“barge in” and when you are already in a call and you want to send tones or make another call.
The button on your steering wheel is also used to access the Voice Commands for the Uconnect Voice Command features if your vehicle is equipped. Please see the Uconnect Voice Command section for direction on how to use the button.
The Uconnect Phone is fully integrated with the vehicle's audio system. The volume of the Uconnect Phone can be adjusted either from the radio volume control knob or from the steering wheel radio control.
Operation
Voice commands can be used to operate the Uconnect Phone and to navigate through the
Uconnect Phone menu structure. Voice commands are required after most Uconnect Phone prompts. There are two general methods for how Voice Command works:
You will be prompted for a specific command and then guided through the available options.
form voice command“Search for John Smith,” or you can break the compound command form into two voice commands:“Search Contact” and when asked“John Smith.” Please remember, the Uconnect Phone works best when you talk in a normal conversational tone, as if speaking to someone sitting a few feet/ meters away from you.
Natural Speech
Your Uconnect Phone Voice system uses a Natural Language Voice Recognition (VR) engine.
Natural speech allows the user to speak commands in phrases or complete sentences. The system filters out certain non-word utterances and sounds such as“ah” and“eh.” The system handles fill-in words such as“I would like to.”
The system handles multiple inputs in the same
phrase or sentence such as“make a phone 9
call” and“to Kelly Smith”. For multiple inputs in
the same phrase or sentence, the system identifies the topic or context and provides the associated follow-up prompt such as“Who do you want to call?” in the case where a phone call was requested but the specific name was not recognized.
The system utilizes continuous dialog; when the system requires more information from the user it will ask a question to which the user can respond without pushing the Voice Command button on your steering wheel.
Help Command
If you need assistance at any prompt, or if you want to know your options at any prompt, say“Help” following the beep.
To activate the Uconnect Phone from idle, simply push the Phone button (if active) on your steering wheel and say a command or say“Help.” All Uconnect Phone sessions begin with a push of the VR button or the Phone button (if active) on the radio control head.
Cancel Command
At any prompt, after the beep, you can say“Cancel” and you will be returned to the main menu.
You can also push the VR button or Phone button (if active) on your steering wheel when the system is listening for a command and be returned to the main or previous menu.
Pair (Link) Uconnect Phone To A Mobile Phone
To begin using your Uconnect Phone, you must pair your compatible Bluetooth®-enabled mobile phone. Mobile phone pairing is the process of establishing a wireless connection between a cellular phone and the Uconnect system.
To complete the pairing process, you need to reference your mobile phone Owner's Manual. Please visit UconnectPhone.com for complete mobile phone compatibility information.
If there are no phones currently connected with the system, a pop-up will appear asking if you would like to pair a mobile phone.
Pairing A Phone

It is recommended that you do not store names in your favorites phonebook while the vehicle is in motion.
Phonebook (Mobile and Favorites) name recognition rate is optimized when the entries are not similar. You can say“O” (letter“O”) for“0” (zero).
Even though international dialing for most number combinations is supported, some shortcut dialing number combinations may not be supported.

connection to the Uconnect Phone. When this happens, the connection can generally be
re-established by switching the mobile phone OFF/ON. Your mobile phone is recommended to remain in Bluetooth® ON mode.
