Thanks for making this, it was really helpful. I've been just dealing with the broken Bluetooth on my 2013 SXT until now! I pulled the Bluetooth module according to your instructions, which were great, and just cleaned the contacts with some WD-40 electrical contact cleaner, dried it all out with my air compressor then plugged it all back in. I turned the car on and let it run for about 10 minutes before I plugged the module back in. I did this while I was remounting the module. Once everything was plugged back in, it all worked perfectly. If it fails again, I'll plan on replacing the module. Thanks again for helping with this nagging issue!
I tried taking mine off and cleaning but still didnt work. I searched online but couldn't find one and I think a new one cost $500+. So a light bulb went off and I went to a local junk yard and found one on a 2012 Dodge Charger they had in their yard. It worked instantly. Thanks for the video!
Dude you’re the f-ing man! I was looking and looking and looking and absolutely couldn’t find the same issue online anybody was having, found your video finally you’re the best! Thank you!
Thank you so much. This is a great guide to get to the bluetooth module. Before I took it out I tried what another commenter suggested and pulled the #37 fuse in the trunk(there’s a handy plastic fuse pliers under the cover). That didn’t work for me. I lost Bluetooth as an option. Another commenter suggested cleaning the contacts on the module. I used an alcohol wipe and that worked. Now BT is working!
@@inene8079 The ECU breaks down due to voltage surges when the battery is almost discharged. When it is about to break, sometimes by disconnecting the fuse it reprograms itself and works for a short time. I solved it by having it opened inside and repair two capacitors. Then I had it reprogrammed with the update provided by Mopar ( service buletin 08-055-17 REV. A GROUP: 08- Electrical DATE: September 15, 2017). In Italy with 80 euros. Bye.
Thank you for this video. I had luck by disconnecting the unit, taking it apart and cleaning the circuit board, and putting it back together. Now it works! Although, the pairing did seem a bit stubborn and laggy, so I think the unit is going out. Just wanted to share in case anyone needs a temporary fix if they don’t have the money to buy a new unit.
Thankyou very much bro .. i was in constant pain for 2years as i stopped using bluetooth becoz it wont work. Now will again start using it.. and thanks every1 for ur bright ideas.. thankyou all very much
Hey what’s up I had the same problem my Bluetooth would not work i could not connect and could not adjust the Bluetooth settings I changed my battery and it fixed the problems with my bluetooth check your battery out make sure it’s good and the right size
Before you buy a new module. Unplug module start car. Turn car off and wait 5 minutes with doors closed (sleep mode). Plug module back in start car and test. If module fails numbers do not need to be exact but close. 2011 - 2013 modules are interchangable. Edit: Most 2011 modules won't have text messaging
before replacing try reflashing the module. I had this error and what fixed it for me was I found a German site for Journeys that had the same problem, basicly what you are doing is flashing the module like the dealer would. You do have to have some electronic, computer skills because you have to either get the connector or make one to connect the module to your computer. If your interested let me know, I am not the original person who camew up with this fix,hes the guy on the GErman forum. I do see people on youtube using his method and not giving credit. I am making this because I am trying to get let people know they can do this them selves and not pay some guy that stole the software.
Mine, when i touch on 'blueetoth' like you did in the begining of this video, shows a message 'pearing not sucessful', it don't even let me try to pair my phones... and my list of paired devices is gone, i never deleted it, it deleted itself. And Voice command doesn't work too..... do you think it's my module? Do i have to replace it like you did ? Please help me
I had the same problem 2018 SXT Dodge charger just says Bluetooth initializing. With no end. The car has two fuse boxes one in the rear trunk with the battery and one in the front engine the fuse for the radio is number 37 cavity pull the fuse for 5 seconds plug it back in voila Bluetooth is working without any part replacement without any taking apart your dashboard. In fact it's working better than it ever worked. There was a delay in connecting the Bluetooth which is no longer there.I advise anyone against replacing the Bluetooth module before checking number 37 fuse in the rear trunk cavity, for the radio.
Currently struggling with the plugs in the back right now. They’re much harder to get out than I thought. I got the big one loose but I’m struggling on how to get the small cable loose
Honestly Uconnect's quality sucks big time, first I had to replace the screen as it didnt respond to touch, then bluetooth. Plus it freezes from time to time.
@@JoseOrtiz-fz6hx I found one on Ebay but I was lucky, and then it broke again. I now just use it on speaker with Siri's help, and for music somehow it still works through the cable usb port, although not perfectly so sometimes an AUX cable will do. I hate Uconnect.
So I been have issues with bluetooth it say same thing but sometimes it work sometimes not also my aircondotion system sometime work sometimes not I noticed when I drive for couple miles the aircondotion suddenly come on and eather bluetooth work or aircondotion work I can't have both working can anyone please help me is aircondotion connected to bluetooth module? And I also have problem with the key not detected please if you know or have any idea let me know
i have a 2010 charger i had the head unit replaced thinking that was all i needed and unfortuantly the person installing it didnt bother to help me after they knew i still couldnt use the dvd or bluetooth , So how will i know that this box is there, before taking this apart ?
Great video, I have a question. Is the module a sealed unit or is there screws to take it apart? The reason I'm asking is I work with and repair electrical boards all day and I'm hoping my module could be an internal simple fix. Thanks
I have this problem and Dutchess Dodge in Poughkeepsie has charged me $300 so far and it still doesn't work! Where did you get the new bluetooth module and how much was it? Thank you!
So I can connect to Bluetooth for talking on the phone but I can’t use it for music, doesn’t matter if it’s Bluetooth, aux, or use... would this fix the issue because as of right now, the dealerships going to replace the radio itself
My Bluetooth has not been working for 4 months and I recently changed my battery last month and when I put the new battery in there the Bluetooth started working as normal for only 2-3 days after but than stopped working again... you know why that happen?
I had the same problem, after changing the battery it played back again for a couple of hours then off the grid again. Followed the video (which is actually impressive and easy) tried to re-install the same after unplugging it. worked for the media Bluetooth but not the phone speakers, so finally decided o get a new one.
Essentially it’s like the old phones or like a sega game you took the battery out and it reset. I took mine to the dealership and he said it’s a short term fix if the modules bad it won’t work for long at most a few weeks.
..mine does the same thing and when my car is started, the sys boots up in constant search mode. i noticed i didnt have battery problems until when my module went out. I found one on ebay. should be here on Nov 13th.
So i have a 2011 dodge rt and i had the small touch screen 4.2 and had no bluetooth so i upgrade to the 8.4 and bought it from a friend he had bluetooth and when i put it on my car i dont have bluetooth. Like i dont even see the option for bluetooth i only see the usb,cd, and aux do i need to buy something else? Do you know any sollution?
So I have 2015 srt Jeep I just got it yesterday only has 24000 miles do you think that Bluetooth module is going out it won’t let me connect my phone and it says hands-free system loading please wait
So I’m not really the best when it comes to cars,lol but the amp had went out in my car,and so when I took the lower dash panel off I unplugged all the wires so I could move the dash panel completely, well the cluster of wires to the left I forgot to take a picture of before hand of the right order they go in so I wasn’t sure if maybe you could tell me or send me a picture of the order yours is in? I tried to look off your video but it was hard to see since you weren’t recording for that reason lol
And I’m not really sure of what it’s called so trying to google the order is very difficult,lol it’s the 5 wires that clip into the white block under like where the light switch is and stuff
Check your battery man I had the same issue blietooth would not work would stay frozen I changed my battery and it’s working good now.. check your battery to see if it’s good and the right size
@Lethal I bought a new truck😐. But prior to that, I just bought a small, inexpensive Bluetooth receiver that I plugged into the auxiliary port, and that worked out just great until I decided on the truck.

Mines does the same thing and Voice response button on steering wheel doesn't work either. I heard it could be a telematics Module.

it does have screws to take it apart man, i was thinking the same thing but i wouldn't know where to start
Yes you can take it apart. I would like to fix it as well if possible. Have you tried to fix it yet? Thanks.
Hey Bro! Were your hands free controls on the steering wheel not working also? That’s the issue I’m having on top of the Bluetooth not working.
Did that fix the problem once you put the new Bluetooth module?
Ya que estabas ahí espero aigas quitado el Gps que tiene el carro 😅
depending on the price its probably just not worth the time and money just use the aux port
If you want to try a reflash I have a listing on ebay.
what a big bluetooth module....is it connecting to space or what??
Mine is Dodge journey 2013.
Blue tooth list is filled.
Paired devices is full
Not able delete devices.
Any advice. Please
I have this problem and Dutchess Dodge in Poughkeepsie has charged me $300 so far and it still doesn't work! Where did you get the new bluetooth module and how much was it? Thank you!
Is it in the same place for a 2014 Journey?
Ok I unplugged the module without unmouting it. Plugged it back in and bingo it started working again.
How long did it work after unplugging it n pigging it back in? I'm wondering if I should buy a new one
@@bne7062 Sadly it only worked for like a couple months. I may try it again because i don't want to buy a new one.
I have the big clip but i dont have the small clip will there be a problem?
Where can I order the Bluetooth module?
Someone told me they disconnected the battery terminals and put them back on and it fixed this problem.. which sounds a lot easier
It’s only a temporary fix. I’ve been doing that the past 2 months and now, disconnecting the battery doesn’t fix it anymore
Itz temporary fix bro. Will work only for few attempts.
So I can connect to Bluetooth for talking on the phone but I can’t use it for music, doesn’t matter if it’s Bluetooth, aux, or use... would this fix the issue because as of right now, the dealerships going to replace the radio itself
That is the same problem I having. I can connect to use the phone. But it won't play my music thru Bluetooth
same problem and i’m trying to figure it out!
I have the same issue with my uconnect the bluetooth is not working suddenly......... its a fiat fremont 2014
Thank you man so much
Mines the same way. I don't even see the Bluetooth icon at all.
You didn't clarify what numbers you were talking about,. Which numbers have to match?

...chg your Bluetooth module. do it yourself. its only a few screws and about $400 cheaper.
Is that a 5.7 ?
What is the replacement improved part number?
M Ali it’s gonna be the same number as the original one that you remove.
Do you guys know what to do if the usb cord isn’t there ?
Can find this on ebay or dealer??
Anyone know if this works for the Chrysler 300s 2013?
Thnx for the vid !
What year Charger is this?
Where can you get the part
So this car model has same number
what if i only have one connection to the module like one cable not 2
One connection to module is fine. Anybody that upgrades the car to Bluetooth will only have the one connector (wire).
So do yall think since this part is out and the Uconnect keeps looking for the module to kick on that's why sometimes my battery needs a jump?!?
