Reset Your Uconnect Radio

Resetting your Uconnect radio can resolve common glitches like frozen screens or unresponsive controls. Typically, this involves a simple reboot process that doesn't erase your settings. You can usually perform a soft reset by turning the vehicle off, opening the driver's door for a minute, and then restarting the vehicle. For more persistent issues, a hard reset might be necessary.

Methods for Resetting Your Radio

Soft Reset

• Turn off your vehicle.
• Open the driver's door.

Hard Reset (Fuse Pull)

This method requires accessing your vehicle's fuse box.

1. Locate your vehicle's fuse box. Consult your owner's manual for its exact location.

3. Carefully remove the designated fuse using a fuse puller or needle-nose pliers.

5. Reinsert the fuse securely.
