    Anyone else having issues with the Beats audio set up or at the very least, disappointed? It's almost like there is no subwoofer at all. I traded in a 14 Grand Cherokee for this 2016 Renegade and that's the only thing I don't enjoy!

    There is a TSB for the issue, I had the TSB done and it helped but... Still not the best sounding system at all, my 09 Cube with a stock stereo had better sound.

    As indicated by cherylannn, there is a TSB that will address sound issues with the Beats audio system. If you need any help making an appointment, or want me to double-check that the TSB does apply to your VIN, please just shoot me a PM with your VIN!

    I have a beats audio system as well. I am not having any sound issues, however when connecting an iPhone via USB, the radio completely shuts off and displays 'sound system unavailable' on the dash. After about 30 seconds the radio restarts itself and displays 'cannot transfer tagged song to ipod'. We have check for any tagged songs and there are none and we have reset the settings on the radio. Still the same issue.

    Anyone have any insight on this issue?

    Hi Poptart,

    Not sure on this one. Have you by any chance called UConnect support or had your dealership take a look at the system to try and diagnose?

    Took mine in for an oil change and a recall. The rep said they check for updates and all, not sure what exactly they did... if anything. I mean really, unless you are looking over the tech's shoulder would you really know they did something to the electronics. At any rate, now it seems like my beats stereo sounds better. I didn't mind it much before, it sounded alright. Now it's like, duuuude, i HAVE the beats audio. Beefier sound, subtle but noticeable improvement.

    Do an update to the uconnect system...it made a world of difference in my beats audio system.
