Pros and cons of Uconnect Access app for iPhone and iPad
Uconnect Access app good for
Have connected to the vehicle (Pacifica)and tested all functionality within the app. Everything works as advertised - very cool. Was actually impressed it worked while garaged (thinking signal might not make it through). Rating reflects current performance. I will circle back if I run into any issues.
App works well for basics (unlocking car, remote start). However, if it offered the ability to control the seat heaters, temperature and how long the car runs for, it would be truly invaluable. I would think it would be easiest to just have max heat and max cool settings pre set for each type of vehicle, which wouldnt be very difficult, and then on the app just have the option for Heat or Cool. That would be taking remote start to the next level of functionality.
Im not sure what all the negativity is out there. I have a 2017 Durango and this app works great so far (Ive been using it for past 4 weeks now). I can send locations to my vehicle easily with "SendnGo", remote start, lock and unlock my vehicle with no issues. I can see the app seeming like it has issues if you have a bad data connection, but majority of the time itll be the data connection. The app could use some more features (like managing wifi and SiriusXM subscriptions)
Saved me from what could have been a terrible day!!!! Way to go Uconnect!!!!
Some bad moments
Only works 20%of the time. It really stinks when you rely on you phone to unlock the truck. Uconnect had been around for a while and they still can't get it right.... but they will sure charge you for the service
Doesnt work as advertised. Dont waste your time (literally). Can take up to 5-10 minutes for vehicle to receive a command.
To be completely honest, Ive never written a review on the App Store, but this application was so poorly crafted that morally I feel obligated to rate it 1-star.
The fact you even need a 3rd party tool to play music from your iPhone is reminiscent of the early 2000s. Also, why are there only 4 options of music players? And how did both Apple Music and Spotify not make the list?!
...I cant even.
Get network error 99% of the time when I use the app on my phone. Have to login on a computer in order for uconnect to work. Awful.
So the above review automatically popped up. Im not surprised one bit. Maybe the biggest waste of money
This could be a great app. There are some really useful features but it NEVER works.
Why? Seems like the modem wont communicate with the internet. Once in a rare while it works. Then it doesnt. For days, weeks at a time. It seems connection to the network is extremely rare and short lived.
Better to just delete it because it will just cause frustration looking at where your car was parked last week or how charged up it was 2 days ago and forget about honking the horn or blinking the lights etc.
That said I think these issues may have less to do with the app per se and more to do with Fiat / Chrysler failing to support timely access to the net.
Keep me logged in or at least allow for Touch ID to log me in. The OnStar app gave me an option to stay logged in. It is annoying when I just want to start my car. I dont mind having to type the pin but when I have to log in at the very beginning it is annoying. Enable Touch ID please! Also enable Apple Watch support like Hyundai!!
