Bluetooth - Two Issues, with Chrysler UConnect.

[MozartMan]

Hello everybody,

Week ago I got LG V40 as a replacement for G7 that got swollen battery. Thanks to LG's 2nd Year Promise warranty. They didn't have G7 and offered me V40 which I gladly accepted. The phone looks like brand new, but I am sure it was probably refurbished.

Everything works, including Bluetooth, but I have two issues.

First issue. When the phone is paired to Uconnect in 2017 Pacifica minivan, or any other device, there is no Bluetooth symbol on the notification bar.

Second issue. When the phone is paired to Uconnect in 2017 Pacifica minivan and I use Google Maps navigation there is no voice guidance coming neither from Uconnect nor phone itself. When I disable Bluetooth I can here voice guidance from the phone. I connected phone to my 2011 Hyundai Genesis and started Google navigation and I could here voice guidance from the phone. So, I assume it is more Uconnect issue.

I searched Internet but couldn't find anything.

Any help appreciated, especially with the first issue.

PS
Forgot to ad, it is Android 9.

Is the UConnect interface using Android Auto? If not, then are you able to change the audio input source for the entertainment system? It might be trying to play the voice over the stereo's Bluetooth media audio input.

No. UConnect in 2017 Pacifica is not capable of Android Auto. Chrysler put that feature in 2018.

Ok, so when the car stereo system is on, make sure the media is on and input is set to Bluetooth Audio. Does it play through the car system now? The problem with these car stereos that aren't compatible with Android Auto is that the navigation voice over Bluetooth typically has to play over the Bluetooth Audio media input. That means you can't listen to other tunes on your car stereo system while also hearing the navigation voice.
