I found a little work around for my issue, I resorted to only using the USB 1 port and created a shortcut on the iPhone to shut off WiFi when Carplay is connected and it turns WiFi back on when its disconnected . It only happens once or twice a week now instead of multiple times a day like before. (forgot to mention i had to set it to open Pandora website, not the app) and i just read about turning off bluetooth but that would interfere with my watch but it could be added to the automation as well

Just started having issues with my 2020. I get a device not supported message when plugging phones into the USB ports in the front. Does the same with android. Tried several new cables and no luck. Won't even charge them.

I previously owned a 2018 JL Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon and had no issues with CarPlay in the center console port.

I traded it in last week for a 2021 JT Gladiator Rubicon and CarPlay through the center console port drops every few minutes. Reading the response from Jeep it seems like this is an iPhone issue, however I used the same iphone in my previous jeep and had no issues. There must be a hardware or software difference in newer Jeeps?

I had this happen randomly for a day or two and it returned to normal

There is a troubleshooting procedure my dealer gave me when they said they’d need 6 hours to look at it. It was essentially update the phones software, unpair from the UConnect and the Phone, repair and advise back.

It immediately stopped working with the console USB port, but seems to now work fine with the USB port on the dash. I’ll switch back to the console and report back, I’ll also try and upload the troubleshooting documents given to me by the dealer.

FWIW, here is a pic of the form I got from my service advisor. The freeze has only happened once or twice since.

Tried this, doesn’t work unfortunately. Continue to have multiple freezes on each 5 min drive.

Mine only does it with the the center console usb, all others work flawlessly but I don’t like the messy cable look.

My 2021 Jeep Gladiator is a week old. I didn't experience any issues initially with the dash port but I hated the cord all over so I bought the WeatherTech cup phone and used the center console port. It is very sporadic but loses connection and annoying. Today it lost connection before I even put the Jeep into drive.

Welcome to my world. mine started the first long drive at around 100 miles. They have never even tried to fix it. Jeep doesn't care!
