Jeep Gladiator Rubicon X
Had a weird issue over the weekend. The issue started out where I only saw the Android Auto screens that would constantly resize. Usually turning the truck off, waiting for a few minutes, and turning it back on restores everything. That didn't work. Held buttons down, saw the Jeep logo and then everything became more weird. The Android Auto screens were the same size, and resizing, but other Android buttons were gone (first image). Then a Uconnect Screen appeared but only to restore apps and then fail (screen 2). Start/stop and button resetting didn't do anything. Finally made it to our destination, where it sat for a few hours. Went to leave, turned the Jeep on, and everything was fine. Is there a way to do a cold reboot without having to pull over for awhile? Some glitches we've found workarounds, like the volume knob and steering wheel volume controls. However, if we were actively using navigation this would've had a more negative impact.. I did a search didn't see anything within the first 3 pages. Thanks for any feedback

Same situation here. Dealer Service Writer suggested using the power and Tuning buttons together until screen goes blank.
Doesn't help if you are using the Jeep's Nav. As the whole thing starts again.

I've kind of given up on the U-Connect system. I turn off bluetooth for the phone and use it separately from the U-Connect. Waze or google maps for road nav, and BackCountry Navigator for off road.
All the CDJR forums I've been on looking for a fix have had similar issues and no resolution.
Hopefully we'll eventually see an aftermarket resolution that doesn't have similar issues... maybe. lol
Hands down the worst experience I've had with any Jeep/Ram vehicle. I don't recommend a post '23 Jeep to anyone who asks about mine.

I still got a recall on mines(2024 sport), never went in to get it replaced because they have to program the miles to match the unit(Some form of sorcery they do lol IDK). At the time when i had traded my diesel i did not this they would change things so much.I had it in mind that i could get the Stinger unit but nope Jeep decided to update whole thing.
