iPhone mic not working with UConnect

I've got a 2014 JKUR with the full size touchscreen with navigation. I believe it's called the 730n? Anyway my phone works great with it for calls, streaming audio, etc. However, when the phone is connected to UConnect the mic on the phone doesn't work for things besides phone calls. Like a voice search within Waze or the voice transcription button on the keyboard, etc.

I have seen some threads about how this system doesn't work with Siri and I can live with that. But no mic at all unless I disconnect from bluetooth is a major pain.

:atomic:

I have a '14 with the 430N, same story and unfortunately working as intended I believe. When connected to Uconnect the Mic in the Jeep takes over and doesn't work as a pass through for any voice commands on the iPhone or any phone most likely. It only works for voice commands built into the Uconnect system, no Siri from what I've researched. The only way to get the functionality back is to swap the headunit to something like a Pioneer AppRadio with CarPlay in order to integrate the headunit with the iPhone.

Yup, that's right. My iPhone 6 works without being plugged in.

I had issues with my iPhone too, so I am interesting in this thread. I even had Shazam stop working for a while, but that may have broken with an update, because it started to work again.
