026 Rebel GT built 2/14/2026. Major Uconnect 5 issues. Truck was driven 44 miles by the factory for quality control checks before is was shipped. My third Uconnect 5 truck. 2022 TRX, 2022 Rebel GT and now this one is the worst. Version MY24-U39P.2_PROD. Uconnect telephone support is useless!
Their solution is go to the dealer and see if they can fix it. First drive last Saturday. Activating the turn signals produces a very loud buzzing noise through the speakers. Last night after turning on the headlights I tried to dim the dash lights with the dimmer control. Driver dash did not dim but 14 inch center screen went dark but radio was playing through the speakers. Stop the truck, shut off the ignition, open the door and wait two minutes. Start the truck screen is on but no Android Auto and some pages on the home screen do not load. White circle of death. Solution do a reset holding down both radio knobs. Android Auto will not connect wireless. Galaxy S24+ Android 16 paired but only connects for phone calls. Will connect using a USB cable after unpairing the phone.
But still randomly disconnects while driving. On a positive note Tom Tom navigation works fine, traffic and weather work and the WiFi hotspot works. Traffic and never worked in my 2022 Rebel GT.

Just checked my 26 Rebel G/T, same Uconnect version, no issues so far. I also learned the 2026 version has a battery shutdown option for storage; I turned it on!

What does that do when you turn on the battery shutdown option?

It supposed to shut off parasitic draw I am guessing. You can find the info online if you pull up the 2026 owner's manual. I initially thought it was for testing the battery until I read about it. truck has to be off but, in the run, position. it resets when you start the truck.
I got a 2026 because my '25 had dead battery issues so many times FCA bought it back.
