Uconnect, Ipod, and Phone
HI all,
I don't want to beat a dead horse, but there is a lot of questions aout this.
I have a 2009 Wrangler X base package. The only option were Smoker's group (it was thown in for free), Automatic transmission, and Air Conditioning. The radio was a RES without the phone option. I installed a REQ radio, Uconnect module, Mic cable, and IPod Cable. The phone did not work. The Ipod said "No device connected". I just had Uconnect turned on at the dealer. My phone works and my wifes Nano IPOD connects and plays perfectly. I put my mic above and to the left of the left radio knob. It seems to work perfectly. I was very concerned about the Radio problem because I bought mine from the Ebay. My IPOD cable plugged into the uconnect box not the radio.

I had a ton of problems when I tried to put an REN in my JK and never could get UConnect to work with it. I had the UConnect installed and working fine with my REQ 6 disc changer. Then I installed the REN and it quit working, but the iPod kept working correctly. 5 days at 2 different dealerships still could not get it to work. I finally gave up, returned the REN and put the REQ back in. dsy here on the forums reported that when installed a REN in his JK, his UConnect also stopped working. Then he installed the lockpick and bam, it started working again. Based on our experiences, I think you either need a Lockpick for REN and UConnect to work, or your SOL.

IPOD, Uconnect, and REQ radio
Hi all,
I installed a REQ radio, Uconnect Box, Ipod cable, and Mic. The phone and Ipod did not work until I had the dealer turn on the Uconnect. Yes the Ipod charged, but the radio had no control. My Ipod cable is plugged into the Uconnect box though, not the radio.
I almost went out and bought another radio because I thought mine had the 2007 problem. I did not know the history of my radio, because I bought from the ebay.
Have a great Jeeping Day!!!! I will!!!
