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. It’s default setting is on.
NOTE:
AutoPlay® is not supported by Android Auto™. Android Auto™ Automatic Bluetooth® Pairing
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.
NOTE:
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™.
Multiple Devices Connecting To The Uconnect
System
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.
NOTE:
If using a Samsung device, every time it is
connected to a media USB, and there is
another device plugged in, you will need to
manually change the configuration of the
USB connection in order for the Samsung
device to send data.
The Uconnect 4 built-in media functions will
be unavailable when Android Auto™/Apple
CarPlay® are in use.

Uconnect Phone Button
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.
Uconnect Voice Command Button
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.Phone Operation
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:
1. Say compound commands like “Call John
Smith mobile”.
2. Say the individual commands and allow the system to guide you to complete the task.
You will be prompted for a specific command
and then guided through the available options.
Prior to giving a voice command, one must
wait for the beep, which follows the “Listen”
prompt or another prompt.
For certain operations, compound
commands can be used. For example,
instead of saying “Call” and then “John
Smith” and then “mobile”, the following
compound command can be said: “Call John
Smith mobile.”
For each feature explanation in this section,
only the compound command form of the
voice command is given. You can also break
the commands into parts and say each part
of the command when you are asked for it.
For example, you can use the compound
command 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.”

format and is playable on other players. To help
avoid playback problems, use the following
guidelines when recording discs.
Open sessions are ignored. Only sessions
that are closed are playable.
For multi-session CDs that contain only
multiple CD-Audio sessions, the player will
renumber the tracks so each track number is
unique.
For CD Data (or CD-ROM) discs, always use
the ISO-9660 (Level 1 or Level 2), Joliet, or
Romeo format. Other formats (such as HFS,
or others) are not supported.
The player recognizes a maximum of 2000
files and 255 folders (includes the ROOT
folder) per CD-R and CD-RW disc.
Mixed media recordable DVD formats will
only play the Video_TS portion of the disc.
If you are still having trouble writing a disc that
is playable in the Blu-ray™ Disc player, check
with the disc recording software publisher for
more information about burning playable discs. The recommended method for labeling
recordable discs (CD-R, CD-RW, and DVD-R) is
with a permanent marker. Do not use adhesive
labels as they may separate from the disc,
become stuck, and cause permanent damage
to the DVD player.
Compressed Audio Files (MP3, WMA and AAC)
The Blu-ray™ Disc player is capable of playing
MP3 (MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3), WMA (Windows
Media Audio) files and AAC (Advanced Audio
Coding) from a CD Data disc (usually a CD-R or
CD-RW) or DVD Data disc (usually a DVD-R or
DVD-RW).
The Blu-ray™ Disc player always uses the file
extension to determine the audio format, so
MP3 files must always end with the extension
“.mp3” or “.MP3” and WMA files must always
end with the extension “.wma” or “.WMA”
and AAC files must always end with the exten
-
sion and “.aac” or “.AAC” or “m4a”. To
prevent incorrect playback, do not use these
extensions for any other types of files.
For MP3 files, ID3v1, ID3v2 tag data (such as
artist name, track title, album, etc.) are
supported.
Any file that is copy protected (such as those
downloaded from many online music stores)
will not play. The Blu-ray™ player will auto -
matically skip the file and begin playing the
next available file.
Other compression formats such as MP3 Pro,
Ogg Vorbis, and ATRAC3 will not play. The
Blu-ray™ player will automatically skip the file
and begin playing the next available file.
If you are creating your own files, the recom -
mended fixed bit rate for MP3 files is
between 32 and 320Kbps and the recom -
mended fixed bit rate for WMA files is
between 16 and 192Kbps. Variable bit rates
are also supported. For both formats, the
recommended sample rate is either 44.1kHz
or 48kHz.
To change the current file, use the remote
control “Seek Forward” or “Seek Back”
buttons to return to the start of the current or
previous file.

AAC (MPEG-4 AAC, Low Complexity Profile)
support.
AAC HE v1 (AAC High Efficiency v1 aka. AAC/
MPEG4v2 AAC+) support.
HE-AAC v1, v2 support.
Disc Errors
If the Blu-ray™ Disc player is unable to read the
disc, a "Disc Error" message is displayed on the
rear screen and Radio displays. A dirty,
damaged, or incompatible disc format are all
potential causes for a "Disc Error" message.
If a disc has a damaged track which results in
audible or visible errors that persists for two
seconds, the Blu-ray™ Disc player will attempt
to continue playing the disc by skipping forward
one to three seconds at a time. If the end of the
disc is reached, the Blu-ray™ Disc player will
return to the beginning of the disc and attempt
to play the start of the first track. The Blu-ray™ Disc player may shut down during
extremely hot conditions, such as when the
vehicle’s interior temperature is above 140°F
(60.0°C). When this occurs, the player will
display "High Temp" and will shut off the Rear
Seat displays until a safe temperature is
reached. This shutdown is necessary to protect
the optics of the Blu-ray™ Disc player.
