Every new Dodge delivers reliable performance, but the advanced tech inside can make the ride much more fun. The Uconnect Dodge infotainment system can keep you connected and entertained throughout the journey, and as a Dodge dealer, it is important to us to help you learn how to enjoy your ride to the fullest.

1. Get the App

Learning more about your vehicle and driving habits can help you improve performance and fuel economy, and your Dodge’s Uconnect system puts this information in the palm of your hand. Install the Dodge app on your Android or Apple smartphone and activate DodgeConnect on your vehicle’s center touchscreen.

Use the app to check driving stats, the car’s fuel level, and, if supported by your vehicle, for remote access. The app also gives you access to vehicle health reports, driver alerts, and exclusive maintenance and service deals.

2. Connect Your Smartphone

The Uconnect system supports smartphone integration via Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and connecting your phone allows you to make and receive hands-free calls, send and answer texts, stream music, and access your favorite apps. For instance, if your Dodge doesn’t come with built-in navigation, you can use your smartphone maps to navigate new destinations.

3. Get Ready for the Road With Alexa

Dodge vehicles equipped with Uconnect 5 or Uconnect 5 NAV boast Dodge Skill for Alexa: a feature that allows you to connect the vehicle to an Alexa-enabled device for easy remote control. This function makes it easy to start and stop the engine from the comfort of your home, turn on your Dodge’s AC or heating, and check the fuel level and tire pressure to make sure your car is ready for the daily commute or cross-country road trip.

4. Use Voice Commands

The Uconnect system uses voice recognition and allows you to access the various functions without taking your eyes off the road. You can wake up the voice recognition system by pressing the dedicated button on the steering wheel and operate the vehicle’s air conditioning and multimedia system or answer and make calls.

5. Keep Your Crew Connected and Entertained

Compatible Dodge vehicles have 4G Wi-Fi hotspot capability and come with built-in SiriusXM and HD Radio. Activate your subscriptions to provide your crew with in-cabin connectivity and enjoy hours of entertainment listening to music, podcasts, and news. If your Dodge has an HDMI port, you can even connect a gaming console.
