I have that happen as well, it almost seems like it needs to "warm up" music is choppy for the first 10-15min then it smooths out. It was worse until I tuned off the WiFi hot-spot in the truck, but still happens. I need to check if it needs an update. iPhone 8+ and USB extender cable.
I’ll try it again today as I leave work and see. I’ve reached out to the customer service to see if they can provide some insight. I checked for an update with mine and it says it’s updated.

Mine won’t connect while it’s in my pocket. It will when I put it over o the wireless charger pad though. Also it hung up the screen earlier on a call when I turned the truck off and transferred the call to my phone it kept the screen on with the truck off and door closed and locked. When I went back 15 min later to put something up screen was still on saying call transferred even though I had hung up 10 min prior.

I got mine yesterday, paired it and it was already up to date. Seemed to work fine but I didn't take a drive or anything. I have to go out today so we will see how it works.

Hmm. Should work anywhere inside the truck. Did you ensure the firmware is up to date?

Having problems with mine as well...updated firmware, tried connecting and re connecting probably 15 times, update iPhone and still choppy connection, skipping words in Spotify.

Ok so I just took an hour drive and the music skipping is annoying. It works fine otherwise but I can't deal with the music cutting out every other second.

I am so glad to know I am not the only one. What I figured out with customer service is that mine works best when I am within 10cm or so of the unit. Which completely would defeat the purpose of having wireless as I might as well plug it in at that point.
I know someone on here said that there phone worked from the back seat and I am 100% sure mine won’t. It won’t connect properly from my pocket.

Yea I tried next to the box, away from the box, on top of the box and it was all the same for me. I might just give it to my dad since he doesn't stream music and only uses CarPlay for Waze.

Mine has worked well. Haven’t used it for music though, so not sure about that. Did notice if I hit the uconnect button and ask it to make a phone call it says no phone connected. If I use the touchscreen it makes a call. Haven’t checked to see if firmware needs an update

Sounds like it’s hit or miss. I had to call my credit card company to reverse the charge on mine today as it’s been almost 2 months since I ordered and still haven’t received it. So I’m done, guess I’ll never find out if it worked or not and that’s ok.

Same here. Every now and again fails to connect, but it’s pretty rare, and unplugging it for a couple of seconds fixes it.
Very happy with mine.
The only time mine didn’t connect , I got a call as I was getting in the truck. After that no issues .

It only seems as if I get the skipping problem from Spotify when I have Waze up on the screen. Once I switch to Spotify on the screen no more skipping. Gonna try to see if there is an update for Waze and see if that helps

Even my waze map was freezing up some.
