How to Reset Uconnect Jeep 2018: Simple Steps for Restoring Connectivity

Resetting the Uconnect system in your 2018 Jeep might seem daunting, but it’s quite straightforward.

Whether you need a soft reset or something more thorough, knowing how to do it can save you time and a trip to the dealer.

For a soft reset, just put the car in Park and press the volume and tuner knobs together. The system should reboot itself, often fixing minor glitches. 🛠️

There are times when a soft reset just doesn’t cut it.

If Uconnect starts acting like a stubborn mule, we might have to try a hard reset. This option wipes out all personal settings, so it’s a bit like hitting the reset button on life – refreshing but slightly nerve-wracking.

To do that, we dive into the engineering menu using a combo of the temp buttons. 🚗

No need to worry if this sounds complex.

It’s like learning any new trick for your car, much like when we first tried pumping our gas.

Over time, this knowledge becomes second nature. And if all else fails, don’t forget our friendly Jeep dealer is just a drive away, always ready to lend a helping hand. ⛽️

When our Uconnect system acts up, it can feel like technology has betrayed us. 😅 Let’s tackle this together! Here’s how to reset Uconnect on our 2018 Jeep.

There are two main options: soft reset and hard reset. It’s like deciding between a gentle tap or a full-on reboot.


For a soft reset, put the car in park and open the system. Press and hold both the volume knob and tuner buttons. After a brief wait, release them. Tah-dah! Our Uconnect reboots itself. 🎉

Feeling adventurous? Let’s explore the hard reset. ⚙️ This method is for deeper issues with settings and system functionality. Here’s how:

  1. Access the Engineering Menu by holding the temperature control buttons.

  2. This will bring the system back to its factory settings, wiping personal settings but rejuvenating the infotainment system.

Don’t forget about our trusty CarPlay and Android Auto settings. They might need reconfiguration after the reset. Also, reconnecting Bluetooth to our mobile devices might be necessary to restore smooth integration.


⚠️ A Warning

Remember, a hard reset will wipe everything, like a blank page. Be sure to back up any important info.
