![]() Your friend’s phone is going to undoubtedly be in the list, but so will your own phone: Now you’re going to see a list of all the paired phones that remain connected to this vehicle. Just tap on the “ Paired Phones and Audio Devices” option:Īlmost there. Some pretty interesting options, but since this is your friend’s car, you probably don’t want to change things too much. Tap on the “Phone/Bluetooth” option to move into that set of options. But now you want to move down on the list by tapping the downward facing triangle until you can see “ Phone/Bluetooth“. Just kidding, you can get that $200 if you can figure out how. Instead, you need to go directly to Settings. First off, you can’t get there by going to the “Phone” area on the UConnect system, even though that’s a logical starting point: ![]() The trick is to take the time to poke around in the Settings on the vehicle: even forgetting the pairing on your phone isn’t going to remove all your data from the Cherokee! While it’s not super easy to do with the Fiat Chrysler UConnect system ( Jeep is a part of FCA, in case you didn’t know that, and all their cars share the same navigational system) it’s not that hard either. Now it’s not quite so bad when it’s your friends – I mean, I wouldn’t care if one of my friends perused my phone contacts – but still, better to forget or delete the phone from the bluetooth pairing set than leave your friend having to see your phone name time after time. Rather a big security problem if you think about it. Every one of those phones copies its entire phonebook to the car every time the two pair up, which means I have literally hundreds of contacts, many of which undoubtedly include addresses, email addresses, even personal information in notes. I drive a lot of different cars as part of my job as a car reviewer and it’s rather amazing to me that I’ll get a car with a half-dozen already paired smartphones.
