Uconnect™ Phone — IF EQUIPPED

Uconnect™ Phone is a voice-activated, hands-free, in­vehicle communications system. Uconnect™ Phone al­lows you to dial a phone number with your cellular
phone using simple voice commands (e.g., ⬙Call” ѧ
“Mike” ѧ”Work⬙ or ⬙Dial” ѧ “248-555-1212⬙). Your cellular
phone’s audio is transmitted through your vehicle’s
audio system; the system will automatically mute your
radio when using the Uconnect™ Phone.

NOTE: The Uconnect™ Phone requires a cellular phone
equipped with the Bluetooth威⬙Hands-Free Profile,⬙ Ve r -
sion 0.96 or higher.

For Uconnect™ customer support and a list of compat­ible phones, call 1–877–855–8400.

Uconnect™ Phone allows you to transfer calls between
the system and your cellular phone as you enter or exit
your vehicle and enables you to mute the system’s
microphone for private conversation.

WARNING!

Any voice commanded system should be used only
in safe driving conditions following local laws and
phone use. All attention should be kept on the
roadway ahead. Failure to do so may result in an
accident causing serious injury or death.ⴖ

The Uconnect™ Phone is driven through your
Bluetooth威 “Hands-Free Profile” cellular phone.
Uconnect™ features Bluetooth威 technology - the global
standard that enables different electronic devices to con­nect to each other without wires or a docking station, so
Uconnect™ Phone works no matter where you stow your
cellular phone (be it your purse, pocket, or briefcase), as
long as your phone is turned on and has been paired to
the vehicle’s Uconnect™ Phone. The Uconnect™ Phone
allows up to seven cellular phones to be linked to the

system. Only one linked (or paired) cellular phone can be
used with the system at a time. The system is available in
English, Spanish, or French languages.

Uconnect™ Phone Button

Depending on the vehicle options, either the
radio or the mirror will contain the two control
buttons (Phone

Command

button) that will enable you

Button and Voice

to access the system. When you press the button you will
hear the word Uconnect™ followed by a BEEP. The beep
is your signal to give a command.

The first time the Phone button is pressed during a drive
cycle, the connected phone will be announced. Ex.
“Uconnect™, Jerry’s phone is connected.”

NOTE: If nothing is said within a few seconds, the
system will present a list of menu options. Listen to the
choices and give your command after the beep.

Voice Command Button

Actual button location may vary with the ra­dio. The individual buttons are described in the
“Operation” section.

The Uconnect™ Phone can be used with any Hands-Free
Profile certified Bluetooth威 cellular phone. See the
Uconnect™ website for supported phones. If your cellu­lar phone supports a different profile (e.g., Headset
Profile) you may not be able to use any Uconnect™
Phone features. Refer to your cellular service provider or
the phone manufacturer for details.

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 (right
switch), if so equipped.

10 Uconnect™ Phone

The radio display will be used for visual prompts from
the Uconnect™ Phone such as ⬙CELL⬙ or caller ID on
certain radios.

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. 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 ⬙Ready⬙ prompt or another
prompt.

•

For certain operations, compound commands can be
used. For example, instead of saying ⬙Setup⬙ and then
⬙Phone Pairing,⬙ the following compound command
can be said: ⬙Setup Phone Pairing.⬙

•

For each feature explanation in this section, only the
combined 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 combined form voice com­mand ⬙Phonebook New Entry,⬙ or you can break the
combined form command into two voice commands:
⬙Phonebook⬙ and ⬙New Entry.⬙ 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.

Voice Command Tree

Refer to “Voice Tree” in this section.

Help Command

If you need assistance at any prompt, or if you want to
know your options at any prompt, say ⬙Help⬙ following
the beep. The Uconnect™ Phone will play all the options
at any prompt if you ask for help.

To activate the Uconnect™ Phone from idle, simply press
the

button and follow the audible prompts for

directions. All Uconnect™ Phone sessions begin with a
press of the

button on the radio control head.

Cancel Command

At any prompt, after the beep, you can say ⬙Cancel⬙ and
you will be returned to the main menu. However, in a
few instances the system will take you back to the
previous menu.

You will then be asked to give your cellular phone a
priority level between one and seven, with one being
the highest priority. You can pair up to seven cellular
phones to your Uconnect™ Phone. However, at any
given time, only one cellular phone can be in use,
connected to your Uconnect™ Phone. The priority
allows the Uconnect™ Phone to know which cellular
phone to use if multiple cellular phones are in the
vehicle at the same time. For example, if priority three
and priority five phones are present in the vehicle, the
Uconnect™ Phone will use the priority three cellular
phone when you make a call. You can select to use a

Phone

Uconnect™ Phone Tutorial

To hear a brief tutorial of the system features, press the

button and say “Uconnect™ Tutorial.”

Voice Training

For users experiencing difficulty with the system recog­nizing their voice commands or numbers, the Uconnect™
Phone Voice Training feature may be used. To enter this

2

30 Uconnect™ Phone

•

Press the button and say the ⬙Setup, Voice
Training⬙ command.

Repeat the words and phrases when prompted by the
Uconnect™ Phone. For best results, the Voice Training
session should be completed when the vehicle is parked
with the engine running, all windows closed, and the
blower fan switched off.

This procedure may be repeated with a new user. The
system will adapt to the last trained voice only.

To restore the Voice Command system to factory default
settings, enter the Voice Training session via the above
procedure and follow the prompts.

Voice Command

For best performance, adjust the rearview mirror to

•

1

provide at least

⁄2in (1 cm) gap between the overhead

console (if equipped) and the mirror.

•

Always wait for the beep before speaking.

•

Speak normally, without pausing, just as you would
speak to a person sitting a few feet/meters away from
you.

•

Make sure that no one other than you is speaking
during a voice command period.

•

Performance is maximized under:

•

low-to-medium blower setting,

•

low-to-medium vehicle speed,

•

low road noise,

•

smooth road surface,

•

fully closed windows,

•

dry weather condition.

•

Even though the system is designed for users speaking
in North American English, French, and Spanish ac­cents, the system may not always work for some.

•

When navigating through an automated system such
as voice mail, or when sending a page, at the end of
speaking the digit string, make sure to say ⬙Send.⬙

•

Storing names in the phonebook when the vehicle is
not in motion is recommended.

•

It is not recommended to store similar sounding
names in the Uconnect™ phonebook.

•

Phonebook (Downloaded and Uconnect™ Phone Lo­cal) name recognition rate is optimized when the
entries are not similar.

•

Numbers must be spoken in single digits. “800” must
be spoken “eight-zero-zero” not “eight hundred”.

Uconnect™ Phone 31

•

You can say ⬙O⬙ (letter ⬙O⬙) for ⬙0⬙ (zero).

•

Even though international dialing for most number
combinations is supported, some shortcut dialing
number combinations may not be supported.

•

In a convertible vehicle, system performance may be
compromised with the convertible top down.

Far End Audio Performance

•

Audio quality is maximized under:

•

low-to-medium blower setting,

•

low-to-medium vehicle speed,

•

low road noise,

•

smooth road surface,

•

fully closed windows,

2

32 Uconnect™ Phone

•

dry weather conditions, and

•

operation from the driver’s seat.

•

Performance, such as audio clarity, echo, and loudness
to a large degree rely on the phone and network, and
not the Uconnect™ Phone.

•

Echo at the far end can sometimes be reduced by
lowering the in-vehicle audio volume.

•

In a convertible vehicle, system performance may be
compromised with the convertible top down.

Bluetooth威 Communication Link

Cellular phones have been found to lose connection to
the Uconnect™ Phone. When this happens, the connec­tion can generally be reestablished by switching the
phone OFF/ON. Your cellular phone is recommended to
remain in Bluetooth威 ON mode.

Power-Up

After switching the ignition key from OFF to either the
ON or ACC position, or after a language change, you
must wait at least five seconds prior to using the system.

SYSTEM INFORMATION
Shared Modes

The VES™ and radio are capable of communicating with
each other. This allows the VES™ to output radio audio
to the headphones and the radio to output VES™ audio
to the vehicle speakers. When the radio and VES™ are in
the same (shared) mode, a VES™ icon will be visible on
the radio’s display and the shared icon will be visible on
the VES™ screen(s). When in shared mode, the same
audio source is heard in the headphones and vehicle
speakers simultaneously.

3

78 Uconnect™ Multimedia - Video Entertainment System (VES)™

If the radio functions (FM, AM, or SAT) are in the shared
mode with the VES™, only the radio is able to control the
radio functions. In this case, VES™ can share the radio
mode, but not change stations until the radio mode is
changed to a mode that is different from the VES™
selected radio mode. When shared, the radio has priority
over the VES™ or all radio modes (FM, AM, and SAT).
The VES™ has the ability to switch tuner (AM/FM),
SEEK, SCAN, TUNE, and recall presets in radio modes as
long as it is not in shared mode.

When in shared disc or satellite video mode both the
radio and the VES™ have control of the video functions.
The VES™ has the ability to control the following video
modes:

1. CD: Ability to Fast Forward, Rewind, Scan, and Track
Up/Down.

2. CD Changer (in radio): Ability to Disk Up/Down and
program all listed CD controls (Fast Forward, Rewind,
Scan, and Track Up/Down).

The VES™ can even control radio modes or video modes
while the radio is turned off. The VES™ can access the
radio modes or disc modes by navigating to those modes
on the VES™ and activating a radio mode or disc mode.

•

Close the video screen.

•

To change the current audio mode, press the remote
control’s MODE button. This will automatically select

Uconnect™ Multimedia - Video Entertainment System (VES)™ 83

the remote control’s power button to turn audio on. If
audio is still not heard, check that fully charged batteries
are installed in the headphones.

Disc Formats

The VES™ DVD player is capable of playing the follow­ing types of discs (12 mm or 8 mm diameter):

•

DVD-Video discs (MPEG-2 video compression) (see
notes about DVD Region Codes)

•

DVD-Audio discs (2 channel audio output only)

•

Audio Compact Discs (CDs)

•

CD Data discs with MP3 and WMA compressed audio
format files

•

Video CDs (MPEG-1 video compression)

3

84 Uconnect™ Multimedia - Video Entertainment System (VES)™

DVD Region Codes

Recorded Discs

The VES™ DVD player and many DVD discs are coded
by geographic region. These region codes must match in
order for the disc to play. If the region code for the DVD
disc does not match the region code for the player, the
disc will not play and will be ejected.

DVD Audio Support

When a DVD-Audio disc is inserted in the VES™ DVD
player, the DVD-Audio title on the disc is played by
default (most DVD-Audio discs also have a Video title,
but the Video title is ignored). All multi-channel program
material is automatically mixed down to two channels,
which may result in a lowered apparent volume level. If
you increase the volume level to account for this change
in level, remember to lower the volume before changing
the disc or to another mode.

The VES™ DVD player will play CD-R and CD-RW discs
recorded in CD-Audio or Video-CD format, or as a
CD-ROM containing MP3 or WMA files. The player will
also play DVD-Video content recorded to a DVD-R or
DVD-RW disc. DVD-ROM discs (either pressed or re­corded) are not supported.

If you record a disc using a personal computer, there may
be cases where the VES™ DVD player may not be able to
play some or the entire disc, even if it is recorded in a
compatible 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 CD­Audio 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 UDF, HFS, or others) are not
supported.

•

The player recognizes a maximum of 512 files and 99
folders 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 VES™ DVD player, check with the disc
recording software publisher for more information about
burning playable discs.

Uconnect™ Multimedia - Video Entertainment System (VES)™ 85

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 and WMA)

The DVD player is capable of playing MP3 (MPEG-1
Audio Layer 3) and WMA (Windows Media Audio) files
from a CD Data disc (usually a CD-R or CD-RW).

•

The DVD 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⬙. To prevent incorrect playback, do not use
these extensions for any other types of files.

3

86 Uconnect™ Multimedia - Video Entertainment System (VES)™

•

For MP3 files, only version 1 ID3 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 DVD player will automatically skip the file and
begin playing the next available file.

•

Other compression formats such as AAC, MP3 Pro,
Ogg Vorbis, and ATRAC3 will not play. The DVD
player will automatically skip the file and begin play­ing the next available file.

•

If you are creating your own files, the recommended
fixed bit rate for MP3 files is between 96 and 192Kbps
and the recommended fixed bit rate for WMA files is
between 64 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’s or
DVD player’s 䉱 button to advance to the next file, or
the 䉲 button to return to the start of the current or
previous file.

•

To change the current directory, use the remote con­trol’s PROG Up and Down buttons.

Disc Errors

If the DVD player is unable to read the disc, a ⬙Disc Error⬙
message is displayed on the VES™ and Radio displays
and the disc is automatically ejected. 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 2.0 seconds, the DVD
player will attempt to continue playing the disc by
skipping forward 1.0 to 3.0 seconds at a time. If the end
of the disc is reached, the DVD player will return to the
beginning of the disc and attempt to play the start of the
first track.

The DVD player may shut down during extremely hot
conditions, such as when the vehicle’s interior tempera­ture is above 120°F. When this occurs, the DVD player
will display ⬙VES High Temp⬙ and will shut off the VES™
displays until a safe temperature is reached. This shut­down is necessary to protect the optics of the DVD
player.

Rating and Password Setup

The Rating and Password settings work together to
control the types of DVDs that your family watches. Most
DVD-Video discs have a rating (from 1 to 8) assigned to

them where lower numbers are designated for all audi­ences and higher numbers are designated for more adult
audiences.

When a DVD-Video disc is loaded, its rating is compared
to the setting in the DVD player. If the rating of the disc
is higher than the setting in the player, a Password screen
is displayed. In order to watch the disc, the rear passen­ger must enter the correct password using the password
entry method described below.

To play all discs without requiring a password, set the
DVD player’s rating to Level 8. Setting the rating to Level
1 always requires the password to play any DVD disc.
Not all DVD discs encode a Rating, so it is still possible
that discs designed for adult audiences can still play
without requiring a password.

The default rating is Level 8 (play all discs without a
password) and the default password is 0000.

VOICE COMMAND — IF EQUIPPED
Voice Command Operation

This Voice Command allows you to control
your AM, FM radio, satellite radio, disc player,
and a memo recorder.

When you press the

button, you will hear a beep.

The beep is your signal to give a command.

NOTE: If you do not say a command within a few
seconds, the system will present you with a list of
options.

NOTE: Take care to speak into the Voice Command
System as calmly and normally as possible. The ability of
Voice Command to recognize user voice commands may
be negatively affected by rapid speaking or a raised voice
level.

WARNING!

Any voice commanded system should be used only
in safe driving conditions following local laws and
phone use. All attention should be kept on the
roadway ahead. Failure to do so may result in an
accident causing serious injury or death.

If you ever wish to interrupt the system while it lists
options, press the

button, listen for the beep, and

say your command.

Pressing the

button while the system is speaking is

known as “barging in.” The system will be interrupted,
and after the beep, you can add or change commands.
This will become helpful once you start to learn the
options.

NOTE: At any time, you can say the words “Cancel”,
“Help”, or “Main Menu”.
