• To anyone looking to acquire commercial radio programming software:

    Please do not make requests for copies of radio programming software which is sold (or was sold) by the manufacturer for any monetary value. All requests will be deleted and a forum infraction issued. Making a request such as this is attempting to engage in software piracy and this forum cannot be involved or associated with this activity. The same goes for any private transaction via Private Message. Even if you attempt to engage in this activity in PM's we will still enforce the forum rules. Your PM's are not private and the administration has the right to read them if there's a hint to criminal activity.

    If you are having trouble legally obtaining software please state so. We do not want any hurt feelings when your vague post is mistaken for a free request. It is YOUR responsibility to properly word your request.

    To obtain Motorola software see the Sticky in the Motorola forum.

    The various other vendors often permit their dealers to sell the software online (i.e., Kenwood). Please use Google or some other search engine to find a dealer that sells the software. Typically each series or individual radio requires its own software package. Often the Kenwood software is less than $100 so don't be a cheapskate; just purchase it.

    For M/A Com/Harris/GE, etc: there are two software packages that program all current and past radios. One package is for conventional programming and the other for trunked programming. The trunked package is in upwards of $2,500. The conventional package is more reasonable though is still several hundred dollars. The benefit is you do not need multiple versions for each radio (unlike Motorola).

    This is a large and very visible forum. We cannot jeopardize the ability to provide the RadioReference services by allowing this activity to occur. Please respect this.

I have a 2016 Dodge Charger utilizing U Connect (Fiat Chrysler) infotainment system. It's Bluetooth is how I've connected my phones, and I've never had an issue connecting any Bluetooth enabled device... till now.

The G5 sees U Connect, the U Connect sees the G5. They pair. G5 internal speaker disables, BUT audio does not come through the vehicles system.
I have triple checked all my settings, and am at a loss. Are they not compatible? I need amplified volume for the G5 at highway speeds.

Any thoughts?

I have a 2018 Dodge Challenger, and my car treats each transmission I receive as a phone call that only last a fraction of a second.

No, (I believe) he's saying that each transmission is like a separate phone-call. If it's a conversation (e.g. between dispatch and a mobile unit), it can be a lot of very short "phone-calls".

The next version of the firmware doesn't do that... but I've not had any luck getting the beta builds to talk to either of the head-units that I've tried so-far. It does work better with some other BlueTooth receivers, though.

I tried to replicate it now, but I can not even get it to connect. It just says that the pairing failed.

I purchased a small bluetooth receiver on Amazon. It plugs into my "Aux in"
on the car. If it works out, Ill post the particulars.

UPDATE... This Mpow BH129 has low fidelity and low audio output. With bluetooth volume on full and G5 volume on full, audio is "barely" loud enough for highway speeds. Everytime a transmission comes through an irritating announcement tone precedes it. Cheap rubbish.

I plugged it into a Motorola external speaker as well... even worse without amplification. :poop:
We need an emoji of a garbage can on here as well...lol.

I have just been successful connecting my G4 to an Android head unit. What I had to do is turn off and delete all other BT connections, including the OBDII transmitter. Then I turned on BT on the pager at there it was. Then I re-connected the other devises and they all work. Seem like it the page sees ANYTHING else it gets "confused". Hope this helps, all devices are different.
