Why doesn't my iPhone 5 work with the UConnect feature of my Jeep Cherokee?

[iMore Question]

I tried to pair my iphone 5 to my new 2015 jeep grand cherokee. It would not call out

After updating to iOS9?

Have you followed the directions that may be contained in the vehicle's users manual?

It's a bit tricky. Make sure both are in pairing. I'm sure it's the same system that's in my Grand Cherokee. What happens when you say pair a device?

I'm having the same problem. Verizon suggested I upgrade to iOS 9.01, did it, no help. iPhone has Bluetooth on. Selected Pair device on my Grand Cherokee, iPhone never finds it. Uconnect times out suggests going to Uconnect.com. This site does not give the option for a 5s with iOs 9.xxx??? Oh my wife's 5s paired and she has not upgraded.... I can pair with other Bluetooth devices. Is it the Jeep or the phone?????
