As years go by ,we will need you Steve to do these more and more because cars are more complicated

[@CarsWithSteve]

That's the plan. I've been updating the catalogue of tech videos since I've been able to improve audio/video quality and will keep updating as manufacturers make changes!

[@user-fj1ds6zb4x]

i used the buttons on the steering wheel the other day and could not get out of the settings mode. So this helped me now.

[@CarsWithSteve]

Glad the video helped!

[@skittles3791]

I am old school and miss the old cars. I am not tech savvy and just got a 2021 Jeep Compass. I am at a loss with all these options. All i want to do is to figure out how to get the heat working properly. Radio would be nice, too. But, i would be happy with the heat right now. Thanks!!

[@CarsWithSteve]

It does take a bit to get used to the new tech.. You gave me an idea for a video to shoot but in the meantime, check out these other videos of the Jeep Compass: uConnect 5 infotainment: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aZbagGlngr6getk Jeep Compass full review: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZmeTh5utgJ5pfrc

HI Steve thanks for showing. From Belgium 😊

You're welcome! And hi from the other side of the world

[@josipdolic6391]

Cool tech

[@CarsWithSteve]

It really is, I'm liking these digital cluster screens!

[@arthuroneil611]

Informative video. One question I have and did not see in the video is how to change the odometer to miles instead of km. I can do the kph to mph but the odometer does not change to miles. The Trip setting are also in kms and not miles. How do I change that?

[@CarsWithSteve]

Thanks! Measurement units are changed through the infotainment screen. Here’s a video on that -> Jeep Compass Steering Wheel and Cluster kzbin.info/www/bejne/l56UYYOlbNOesM0 It’s around the 23 ish min mark of the video

[@arthuroneil611]

@@CarsWithSteve I was actually watching that video and was literally 2 minutes away from the spot where you showed how to do it. Lol! Thanks! That video really shows the capability of the system. My wife will love it because she is a visual learner and can pause the video. Oh and thanks for the quick response.

[@CarsWithSteve]

Perfect timing! Glad the videos will help her out. How are you enjoying the Compass so far?

[@arthuroneil611]

@@CarsWithSteve She loves it. Just have to get her used to the technology in it, which I said she should watch your videos that do it step by step.

[@CarsWithSteve]

Thanks for sharing!

[@rfproject1]

It’s Not possible to show the navigation map in the digital cockpit?

[@CarsWithSteve]

As far as I know you can't do that in the Compass

[@LakwandAMurray0706]

What does it mean when “RUN” shows on the top right hand side of the cluster screen?

[@CarsWithSteve]

Just a startup message. It does go away for yours eventually right?

[@cettapasquariello]

2023 jeep Compass steering wheel controls just stop working. Can not scroll at all. Is there a re set or does it have to go in to Jeep service? Only 6000 miles on car

[@CarsWithSteve]

You can try disconnecting the battery first to see if that forces it to boot.. otherwise it could either be a fuse or a wiring issue

[@user-hp5vv5bw8d]

Hi Steve, great video. one thing I need to know, when traveling and using the turn by turn direction on GPS how can I also listen to radio or talk on the hands free via bluetooth phone. I understand when voice of GPS is talking to make a turn or whatever it would stop the conversation or stop the music on the radio but when I am using the GPS my music through a device does not work.

[@CarsWithSteve]

Thanks James! Check to see if the volume is turned up. Go to Media --> Audio Settings --> Volume Adjustment Bump up the audio for Media/Phone Does the bluetooth audio play when you don't have a map going? And have you tried muting the navigation prompts when you have a route going? It's a little speaker icon on the middle left of the nav screen

[@johnr2632]

There is no analogue dial option in the UK PHEV 4xe - pressing the OK button for a second does nothing. Also no NAV on digital cluster.

[@CarsWithSteve]

Interesting differences in international models. Is it close to the same otherwise from what you've seen?

[@zmiles36]

I see that off icon in the whole video you made can u make that disappear from the screen ?

[@CarsWithSteve]

Ah, that's because the safety systems were disabled. Is the traction control button under your infotainment system turned off?

[@zmiles36]

@@CarsWithSteve is it always like that I just got a 2024 trailhawk compass I’m like is something wrong with it how can I make that icon disappear or is this a normal thing

[@CarsWithSteve]

Did you make sure that you enabled traction control?

[@johnkinsfather6369]

It’s a bit frustrating as vehicles in review are always loaded so have a lot of features not on mid range models.

[@CarsWithSteve]

I always try to shoot lower trim levels when they're available. You'd be surprised how challenging it is to come across entry or lower level trims

[@willierodrigues4101]

Hi Steve, My cluster screen does not show the standard odometer and speedometer circles on either side anymore, I was trying to use the up and down arrow keys to check out options and just cant seem to revert back to the original screen ... help!

[@CarsWithSteve]

Has your Compass had an update recently? I've had a few people mention an update has removed certain elements of their cluster and infotainment systems

[@JonathanGaiger]

Great vid. Would I be right in assuming that you cannot view the actual map within the digital cluster screen - only little directions? If that’s the case, it would seem it’s quite a dated system in comparison to others :(

[@CarsWithSteve]

Thanks Jonathan! You're right.. it's just the little directions and it only works with factory navigation and not other map applications. I find the entry level models for most manufacturers won't be quite as loaded.. When you jump into the Grand Cherokee you'll find the full digital map

[@abbyaustin3991]

How to I put all my parking sensors on

[@CarsWithSteve]

If you have the parking sensors there will be a button just under the infotainment screen. The icon has a P with some larger brackets next to it and the word OFF on the bottom

[@user-qx5tp5jp4p]

My dash visibility during the day is almost non-existent, how do I adjust it ? I feel like it dangerous that I can't see the dash while I'm driving.

[@CarsWithSteve]

Check by your left knee. There are some rockers you can use to adjust the brightness of the screen - you want to slide the one on the right up to the brightness you want

[@pauli6570]

How do you switch between the digital and analog views for speed and refs…cannot see where you did that

[@CarsWithSteve]

Around the 2:15 mark of the video. When you're on a screen with the speed visible, press and hold the "OK" button on the left steering wheel pad

[@melissaparisi6531]

My dads 2020 jeep compass is having this thing where when he turns his headlights on, the radio screen dims and nothing really glows in the dark like it’s supposed to. Is there a setting I need to change or something?

[@CarsWithSteve]

Check the rolling switches just to the left of the steering wheel. The one on the right should let you adjust the brightness of the screens!

[@luislemus1033]

Does anyone know what the small yellow car with the star that is off mean? And how to change it? Located under the RMP’s Thanks

[@CarsWithSteve]

It's on of the pre-collision assist systems that's been disabled. Check in the uConnect media screen settings -- > Driver Assistance to see if it's turned on

[@user-sr9fm29]

How do I get rid of the "honey comb" on the Jeep Compass 2022 on the dashboard behind the steering wheel?

[@CarsWithSteve]

Can you point out a part of the video where you see the look you're talking about?

[@user-sr9fm29]

Thanks. When you look at the dashboard in the middle toward the bottom is a honeycomb? It is very annoying to look at. I have been trying to figure out away to remove it from the screen.

[@judystovall1325]

How do I play music without engine on?

[@CarsWithSteve]

Don't press the brake pedal, then press the start/stop button twice. That'll put you into accessory mode without starting the engine

[@abdelazizb599]

Nice video, How can we get the last Uconnect version. please?

[@CarsWithSteve]

Thanks! You can't upgrade from uConnect 4 to uConnect 5.. it's a different underlying technology...

[@AFVET74]

Steve, thank you from the U.S., it's quite an informative video. Just one question (hope it's not a silly one) - my Cluster Display has "RUN". Can you tell me what that means? I assume it means the engine is running? I appreciate your help.

[@CarsWithSteve]

You're welcome! Run would mean it's on but the message shouldn't stay on all the time. Is it a warning light or can you scroll past it using the left steering wheel pad?

[@keaki1386]

This video was great! So many things I didn’t know. Question for you-the icon for my heated steering wheel is grayed out and it won’t turn on. Any suggestions to remedy that issue? Thanks!

[@CarsWithSteve]

Thank you! Greyed out climate settings usually only happen when the vehicle is running in accessory mode and not fully turned on. Few things to try.. 1. Turn the car off, lock the doors then get back in and restart. 2. Soft reset by pressing and holding the power button (volume rocker) and tuning rocker buttons together for 10 seconds 3. Go to Apps --> All and look for the heated steering wheel button and press that If none of those work you'll have to book it in for service. Could be a loose connection, bad module or something else

[@keaki1386]

Thank you! I have tried all of them so calling tomorrow to have the dealer look at it. Am feeling it is a disconnected wire somewhere - half the wheel lights are off. 🤨Really enjoy your videos. SO informative! @@CarsWithSteve

[@CarsWithSteve]

Thanks so much! Most likely a module issue, hopefully the dealer has a quick fix

[@derekrowlands6902]

Can you check oil life

[@keaki1386]

@@derekrowlands6902 After 3 trips to 2 different dealers, they discovered the computer system was not configured. Likely a mistake after dealer #1 did the cluster panel recall. System configured and ALL systems working! Unfortunately, it took a chat session with Jeep Corporate before my concerns were heard and addressed. Sigh ... so disappointing. At least my NEW car is working like a NEW car again!

[@TheKimberlyGroup]

Great video. How can I change Celsius to Fahrenheit?

[@CarsWithSteve]

Thanks so much! That's usually done through the media screen - check this video out: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aZbagGlngr6getk

[@ronniekanda9604]

Whats that yellow light on left side and how i can turn off that sensor

[@CarsWithSteve]

If it's the one with the a car that says "OFF" that'll be for the pre-collision assist/forward collision system. If you turn it back on through the uConnect media screen it'll go away. Vehicle --> Safety & Driving Assistance Check out this video on the uConnect 5 screen to learn all about it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aZbagGlngr6getk

[@laurahartman6244]

How can I get to the screen that shows how much oil I have left. Using the OK button and/or arrows doesn’t work. I have a 2022 compass

[@CarsWithSteve]

Check out around the 6:30 mark of the video. You need to be in the normal view, Vehicle Info --> Gauge Summary

[@laurahartman6244]

Thanks!! Your dashboard is different than mine. I actually took it to the dealer and he said it doesn’t come with an oil gauge and I have to wait for the oil notification which is absolutely insane to me. How does a car not come with that?

[@letsgomets002]

Open the hood and check the oil if you want ​@@laurahartman6244

[@Chaz386]

How do you check the miles until empty on the gauge i’m having a hard time with that?

[@CarsWithSteve]

When I zoom in and start showcasing the cluster about the 6:00 mark - I show a way to customize certain elements of the screen. One of those options is Range to Empty. Add that option in so that you can see the actual milage left in your tank

[@percykinsjoe]

What are the buttons for on the drivers vizor? On trip mileage it has a time ( bottom of three things shown) . Is that the total time driven since the last fill up?

[@CarsWithSteve]

If they're the three buttons where there are 1, 2 and 3 dots, that's for garage door openers

[@percykinsjoe]

@@CarsWithSteve thank you very much.

[@CarsWithSteve]

you're welcome

[@fanclub69]

Why the manual one does not have cruise control ?

[@CarsWithSteve]

Manual transmissions and adaptive cruise control tend to not go hand in hand. My guess is Jeep didn't see the benefit in developing the necessary tech based on the projected number of units they'll sell

[@fanclub69]

@@CarsWithSteve 👍Thanks for replying back. I can compromise on cruise control. Tell me plz do you see any reliability issue in long term?

[@CarsWithSteve]

Of course! To be honest, we don't have the manual transmission Jeep Compass in North America so I don't really have a point of reference for reliability

How to change from k/h to regular speed

[@jogvanarnasondjurhuus7377]

Hi Steve. I own the Jeep Compass 4xe from 2022. Do you know if it is possible to manually reset the "Oil change required"? I have tried a couple of the solutions I could find on KZbin but nothing seems to work.

[@CarsWithSteve]

Hey Jógvan! Ah the international Compass 4xe.. how are you enjoying it? You can manually reset it.. it's a weird process though: 1. Without pressing the brake pedal, push the engine START/STOP button and cycle the ignition to the ON/RUN position. So you'd press that button twice without actually starting the ignition 2. Fully press the accelerator pedal, slowly, three times within ten seconds 3. Cycle the ignition to the OFF position

[@jogvanarnasondjurhuus7377]

@@CarsWithSteve Hi Steve and thank you for the quick reply. I am enjoying it quite a lot actually. it is a really nice car and is a lot cheaper than other cars in the same class here where I live. As I expected though the solution you provided me with sadly didn't work. I have tried it before. I don't know if it is the difference between the cars in the US and Europe but if I push the the start button two times it just goes to OFF. The ignition has two options: OFF and RUN. So when I push the button twice it just goes to OFF.

[@CarsWithSteve]

Have you tried just setting it to the On/Run position without it actually starting up? Even if that's just once press..

[@jogvanarnasondjurhuus7377]

@@CarsWithSteve Yes I have tried.I have also tried pressing the accelerator pedal 3 and 5 times before cycling the ignition to OFF (Some tutorials say 3 times some say 5). It's pretty strange because it seems to work on all Jeep models except the 4xe.

[@CarsWithSteve]

Hmm.. the only other way to reset that I know of in Jeep vehicles is on the oil life page itself by pressing and holding the OK button. Didn't realize the international models had a different way to reset but if that doesn't work check with the dealer.. and circle back to let me know if you figure it out!

[@CarsWithSteve]

It should switch out when you press and hold OK and are on the Driver Info screen.. If that's not working only thing I can recommend is have a tech look at it next time it's in for service

If yours isn't the fully digital one that would make sense. The Compass has a 3.5" analogue, 7" analogue and then this 10.25" digital. If it's not working in the digital.. I'm as lost as you lol

[@lesliepavao504]

@@CarsWithSteve I just found out on a Jeep forum that the 2022 models made after mid year no longer have this option, only digital.
