What Is Uconnect®?

If you’ve recently purchased a new Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep or RAM vehicle, the Uconnect® system is probably already on your radar. If you’re still researching though, you might be asking what Uconnect® is. What does it do? Uconnect® offers connectivity between car and driver, and driver and exterior with features that range from navigation and entertainment, to hands-free calling and messaging. This technology for you and your vehicle will certainly enhance your Vero Beach drives, so let’s explore all the platform has to offer.

What Are the Uconnect® Features?

A suite of features come standard with the Uconnect® system, each offering advanced connectivity, entertainment, and performance monitoring that make commuting to places like the Fort Pierce area feel shorter and easier. Included among them:

• SiriusXM Guardian™ and Uconnect® Access: Combining these available features allows you to connect with your vehicle no matter where you are. Remotely start your vehicle, lock/unlock the doors, and even sound the horn. Find your vehicle location, and even send directions from your phone straight to your Uconnect® system.

• Audio Options: Find and play the music you want through various audio options. SiriusXM™, Bluetooth® streaming, and HD Radio™ are all available for you to use. Connect up to ten devices so everyone can join in on the fun.

• Available 4G Wi-Fi®: The built-in Wi-Fi® allows you to browse the internet, check your email, and more from up to 50 feet away from your vehicle. Try out this feature through a trial version, or take part in the day passes or subscription services.

• Voice-Command: Stay hands-free on your drives with voice-command. Make calls, reply to text messages, set up navigation, select music, and more all without taking your hands off the wheel.

• Navigation: When you opt for the Uconnect® Navigation package, you’ll have the benefit of 3-D generated maps with turn-by-turn navigation. SiriusXM® Traffic Plus and Travel Link can also give you a boost with up-to-date weather and traffic reports.

• Entertainment: In larger CDJR models, you can access the Uconnect® Theater so your passengers can game, watch movies, or go online on one of the dual 10-inch touchscreens. Connect your Apple and Android device through Apple CarPlay® or Android Auto™.

Can You Turn Uconnect® Off?

Uconnect® is always on when your vehicle is, but turning off or muting parts of it is an easy process. Both the screen and radio can be powered down, and text message alerts can be silenced by tapping the “Phone” button, saying “setup, incoming SMS message announcement” and responding “yes” when asked if you want it turned off. Simply put, select the parts of Uconnect® you want on or off, address them accordingly, and if you have any other questions, don’t hesitate to work with the team at Vatland CDJR.
