Spent some time this evening looking at the response from the Uconnect module.
The module responds at various times with ID's
43F#
2D0#
2D7#
282#
3A6#
doing a quick comparison between starting up the uconect with a phone nearby with Bluetooth on and off indicated that 2D0 correlated to a bluetooth connection.
Upon a bluetooth connection the Uconnect transmits
2D0#F0E022FF01 2D0#F0E022F301 2D0#F0E022F301 2D0#F1E022F301 2D0#E1E022F301 2D0#E1E022F301
the E1E022F301 is repeated every second.
Interestingly the 3rd Byte in this case 22 appears to represent the mobile phone signal strength
21 == 1 Bar
22 == 2 Bar
23 == 3 Bar
I was not able to verify but suspect 24 would be 4 bars
I did notice a couple of occasions of 2F and that was after wrapping the phone in aluminum foil - I suspect this indicates no signal.
I could not determine any indication of battery level but I only had a 10% variation on the phone during the time I had to test so perhaps the battery level reported by the Uconnect is to granular to show up in my short test.
