I have had my 2018 Dodge Caravan for over 6 months! Trying to pair the BLUETOOTH! And Then Came YOU!!!!! THANKS THANKS and THANKS! I had a 2014 and didn't have any idea how the salesman made the Bluetooth Work! Incredible!!!
Like many others, I got this vehicle from Enterprise yesterday while the dealership repairs mine. I was starting to give up when I didn't see any indication that the unit was compatible with Bluetooth. So thank you for this.
I am so grateful that you decided to upload this. I am sitting in the enterprise parking lot and could not find how to sync bluetooth. I was ready to resign to using an aux cord but decided to check TH-cam. What a terrible UI in this van. As if I or anybody else needs an additional reason not to buy a Dodge they go and throw us another one for good measure. It really leaves me curious what these four days driving this might have in store for me. Thanks again for that video! Priority level 3 choice was hilarious. I actually lol'd. The little things in life, am I right?
Finally, after 4 days I was able to do all those steps on my newly acquired 2015 Dodge Caravan, only to be told "Maximum phones paired. Cannot pair new phone!" LOL!
This is the dumbest process I've ever seen for pairing a phone to a vehicle's radio. I also couldn't figure it out, and I rent vehicles weekly for work. I finally just drove away from Enterprise pissed off and having to turn my phone up as loud as I could to hear it over the rain. Dodge needs to seriously work on their user interface's ease of use. It's not intuitive at all. The BMW X3 I rented last week was far simpler than this thing.
Luke Barnes I understand it's a Chrysler hardware/software implementation--I did not intend to imply it was exclusive to Dodge. I've only had to deal with Dodge specifically through Enterprise, so that's what my whine was targeting.
Hey after pairing how do you stream music like one can with bluetooth headphones? Touch screen has am FM sat but not bluetooth. Edit: press media button then aux tab. Edit 2: OMG, massive 2 second audio lag when watching movies, its like watching dubbed 1970s kung foo movies...
Omg thank you so much for this video!! I've been calling all over trying to exchange my rental car bc it doesnt have bluetooth smh. This is the worst system EVER!!!!! But now at least I can be hands free while my Odyssey is being repaired
Thanks again for this me and my mom spent 15 minutes trying to figure it out and finally had to leave the phone in the cup holder to look at directions
Thank you for the video. We recently bought a used 2017 Dodge Grand Caravan and this video was perfect on how to pair phones and delete previous phones Etc.
Oddly enough even if you get the 430/430N/730N radio, or even if a 2007-era Chrysler radio like this or with the 130/130S/230S ones with phone buttons, it does NOT mean it comes with Bluetooth, which is why it doesn't say so on the radio, because you CAN get these radios WITHOUT Bluetooth (they're Bluetooth-ready, BUT if you hit the buttons for the phone system in a vehicle that is not so equipped, you'll get a 'U Connect Phone Not Available' message onscreen... I had a 2008 Dodge Charger base model once for a rental and it had the buttons but no Bluetooth... pretty stupid if you ask me... it's a tedious process to pair to these, but it's gotten better with the newest "U-Connect" radios... my dad's 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee has the 8.4 radio with navigation, and it's a simple touch of the 'Phone' icon, and then it'll ask you if you want to add a phone if none are present/paired... no recording a name for the phone or anything like this one in the Grand Caravan... but on the plus side, these "older" radios DO support Bluetooth streaming of audio via A2DP, so you're not left out from listening to your favorite tunes wirelessly in an "older" vehicle (or rather, "older design" vehicle like the Grand Caravan). :)
Vincent D ive been renting these for the past 3 yrs and currently driving the 2017 GT model and had no idea about the ability to stream music via Bluetooth. Thanks!
Thank you for this video my car is repairing right now, I rented this from enterprise as well I know about computers. And I had no idea how to do this thank you for this video
Well it is a leftover from 2007. This is Chrysler's old MyGig infotainment system. It has since been replaced in most new Chrysler vehicles. Some vehicles that are going to be either discontinued (like The Caravan) or replaced with a new generation (like the Wrangler) still use the old MyGig system. Its pointless to redesign a vehicle to support the new UConnect system, if it's going away.
I'm a damn enterprise EMPLOYEE and I didn't know this for months. I drive these things every day, you think they'd be a little more user friendly than this. On top of this Bluetooth issue, you can't just plug in your iPod and listen to music that way. You need to plug in a flash drive and transfer your music into an hdd in the head unit........ Who the fuck had that idea
Rented one of those to drive up to the San Francisco Bay area to pick up a couch. I had the same problem pairing my phone. Had to look it up on youtube. Is that the one with the gear shifter on the upper right hand side of the steering wheel on the dashboard. The one I rented also had a DVD player, and a 40 gig hard drive.
just rented one of these for a road trip and I had never been so frustrated with this system. literally had to sit in the car for half an hour to figure it out 💀 .
Uconnect - so the 'missing piece' is once the system in in pairing mode, to hit refresh on your phone and find the Uconnect listing. (I had to watch another video to find that minor detail)
Thank you. Thank you!! Bought a nice used vehicle but no operating manual available!!! Yikes!! This was very timely and very easy to understand info. Thank you very much!!
Great video that only needed to be made to mitigate a wasteful inefficient UI process. I could have done this on a touch screen in 2 minutes, yet spent at least 10 navigating through unknown voice menus, overriding older phones, and endlessly repeating myself to the system.
It says unconnected phone...But let it go through the process. Mine said the same thing tooooo! But it connected once i clicked on the spot on the phone for my phone..
We just rented a 2017 Caravan from Enterprise as well, and this UI is the worst I have ever encountered in any vehicle. Attempting to use it with multiple Bluetooth devices resulted in very weird and erratic behavior. Simply trying to use the DEVICE button to switch devices did not work and threw up "Device no longer available" messages and required one person to completely turn their Bluetooth off in order to get the other phone to connect. Also, each time the vehicle is started, it turns on to the radio instead of reconnecting to the Bluetooth device as one would expect. Then, to get it to reconnect back to the phone you're stuck once again going through the voice prompt system. It is maddening.
As an Enterprise customer, thank you for this 👍
I spent a while trying to figure it out on my own before giving up.
Lifesaver. My husband was having a meltdown 🤣😂
LMFAOOOOOOOO
Terrible idea for an interface. Trying to be different but end of being confusing
Absolutely stupid design and how to Dodge think iit was smart??? I rented a 2019 or 2020 and wasted ridiculous time trying to figure it out.
I have had my 2018 Dodge Caravan for over 6 months! Trying to pair the BLUETOOTH! And Then Came YOU!!!!! THANKS THANKS and THANKS!
I had a 2014 and didn't have any idea how the salesman made the Bluetooth Work! Incredible!!!
Stupid design !!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is still useful for the 2019s *unfortunately*. I also just rented one and am so grateful for your tutorial!! What a horrid interface 🤦♀️
Just me rn 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Hey David, glad this helped! Yes the little things that drive us nuts!
Thanks a lot! You saved the day. I couldn’t find how to pair my device on a road trip.
god that is so extra,,,
Wouldn’t be a dodge if it wasn’t
Honestly
Please , do not use the Lord’s name in vein 🙏🏽
@@JaquavionGigglesworth omg you're so right sorry
@@dokibunni Haha , I see what you did there . All good regardless , just trying to spread awareness ! God bless !
Third time I've had to watch this video to pair my phone up to my caravan, this video gets better each time.😅 Gold
Thanks, just rented this POS and your vid helped a ton.
We just rented this van from Enterprise and this helped so much!! Thank you 💕
As an Enterprise Service Agent, this was very useful to learn.
Glad to help!

SuperN0va it’s not just dodge. It’s uconnect hardware. They have this same thing on a Chrysler town and country minivan too

Me Too!!
2 hours in to my ride to AZ without radio cuz i couldn’t figure it out.... Thanks bro👍🏿
Hey after pairing how do you stream music like one can with bluetooth headphones? Touch screen has am FM sat but not bluetooth.
Edit: press media button then aux tab.
Edit 2: OMG, massive 2 second audio lag when watching movies, its like watching dubbed 1970s kung foo movies...
Thank you...I have the same exact situation. You made this so much easier for me. Keep posting
Fantastic! Thanks for watching!
Literally just picked up mine from enterprise 😂😂😂 this process this stupid thank you for the video
Who just bought this car and 2024 I really appreciate it!
You are the hero of our trip. What a bizarre setup.
Here I come to save the day!! LOL
Just as soon as I picked up my dodge rental today I looked for pairing and couldn't find it. Thanks for posting this.
Haha I work at enterprise and just had to watch this video to show a customer how to pair their phone since I couldn’t figure it out 😂😂 thank you!!!
HA! Welcome.
Omg thank you so much for this video!! I've been calling all over trying to exchange my rental car bc it doesnt have bluetooth smh. This is the worst system EVER!!!!! But now at least I can be hands free while my Odyssey is being repaired
Worse UI in newer car
Ugh, sorry to hear that.

Impossible without this video, what the hell was Dodge thinking...
Thanks! Also in IT and was completely stumped when I rented a grand caravan.
What is that "Antitheft" word at the bottom left of the screen? I couldn't find any exact answer from the manual. Thanks :)

Thanks for this video! I am also renting the 2018 version from enterprise and couldn’t figure this out!
Thanks for your comments!
For 2017. That's got be the ugliest radio I've ever seen😀😀😀😀😀

@@WarthogRacer 2019 Caravn still has it. I thought it was a cool modern new system

How do I play music from it?
Addy Reed after the settle just hit, the media button and your music start playing...?
good luck with that!!! I actually played Netflix form the Bluetooth. But could never seem to do it again!!
just rented one of these for a road trip and I had never been so frustrated with this system. literally had to sit in the car for half an hour to figure it out 💀 .
How do I recognize my voice?
He says he can't connect to u-connected
I have the same issue the van doesn't have the option you have to pay for it from the dealership 12$ per month!! Hell no
Yes, borrowed from enterprise. Could not find the blue tooth anywhere. Thanks for this!
I have my Bluetooth already set up, I would like to know how can I set up my messages to read it on the screen.
Thank you for this … it helped us
Very good instructions. Thank you for the help!
It says uconnect phone not available.
Charlie Nichols same bro have you found out how to fix it
PAIRING FAILED!!! Says it all...🤔
Thanks for this video. I'm using one Grand Caravan while my F-150 truck is on repair and I wasn't able to find out how to pair my iphone...
Glad it helped!
Talk about over complicated! I'm not even going to bother. Can't wait to use Chevy my link again ♥
i came back to this when i got a new phone lol
Does the youtube work on this radio
I was told that thus radio does not have apple cat play is that true. Or hiw do you find out if it does have apple car play??
Sitting in Enterprise Dodge right now
Did you get it?
@@CtayrroolneI got it and it worked!
Do you make up that pin number right then or is it your phone pin (which I don't know)
Laifer Reyes Make one then
Awesome this helped! Thank you!
When I press it it has a pop up saying “uconnect Phone not Available” 🤷🏼♀️ what do I do then?
or what happens when you hit the phone button
That was very helpful thank you 😊
Where do you get the code to say to the car ?
I have same radio in the my Jeep but it has no voice response to respond to.
Thanks for the video. Very helpful
You left out the phone side of this. I don't see the Caravan listed in my bluetooth scan for my Galaxy. So that half of the process is failing.
Uconnect - so the 'missing piece' is once the system in in pairing mode, to hit refresh on your phone and find the Uconnect listing. (I had to watch another video to find that minor detail)
Where do you get the number they ask for?
I was trying to figure this out thanks
My phone works through it but it won’t alert me when I get a text message. Is that a separate menu or set up?
That's not supported. Sorry about that.
Thank you. Thank you!! Bought a nice used vehicle but no operating manual available!!! Yikes!! This was very timely and very easy to understand info. Thank you very much!!
All available slots are taken!!! How do you delete?
how do you add a second phone
Okay but how do you turn it on after you’ve paired it
You can’t. All must remain off.
My iphone(s) don't see uconnect in listed devices. I gave up trying. (reset, update, nothing ever worked)
Great video that only needed to be made to mitigate a wasteful inefficient UI process. I could have done this on a touch screen in 2 minutes, yet spent at least 10 navigating through unknown voice menus, overriding older phones, and endlessly repeating myself to the system.
What is the point of pin
How can make my 2017 Dodge Caravan back to factory settings?
Mine won’t work it says unconnected phone when I click it?
It says unconnected phone...But let it go through the process. Mine said the same thing tooooo! But it connected once i clicked on the spot on the phone for my phone..
Doesn’t show up at all for me though
What doesn't show up?
Hello I tried to do it but I do not know the pin of my car. How can I find that?
You would have to ask your dealer or try "0000:.
Thanks you helped aloootttt!!
When i click on phone or talk button it says unconnect not available pls help
This is not Uconnect, this is you are disconnect. Everything to connect is bad.
It said Uconnect on mines..
It shows this message ”Not equipped with U-connect”
how do i know pin number?
What does that menu button do?
Produces fire from the exhaust pipe.
kang sun Haha!
Por que yo le aplastó y me pone no equipado con uconect
When I hit the button to talk, nothing happens.
Thanks 🙏
Can you just upload the video how to delete the phone

Literally the same situation. Just using Enterprise car till mine gets fixed.
0:55 you’re welcome
I work IT as well and this shit was super annoying for me too lol
I followed this exactly, it says I'm paired but I'm getting no sound from phone to car, do I have to put radio top AUX?
Yes
Wow. Thank you for this video - but how insanely extra and complicated this pairing system is....
At the end of the it said it failed
Crystal Gutierrez
He pressed the CANCEL button at the end.
Why won’t it play my music ?
My phone would not give me a pin 🥺
Thank you so much my dude
Helpful video!
I appreciate your comment!
I just did this.. thanks!!
this did not help, you left out the rest of the steps
THANK YOU for this. Unbelievably awful UI.
I like dodge caravans
