Staying Connected

Today's consumers are passionate about staying in touch and want to be connected no matter where they are — home, work, school or vehicle. To focus on the experience and connect customers to the things that matter the most, Chrysler will now bundle innovative consumer technologies under one umbrella name — "uconnect™." The function of the feature is directly in the name — uconnect™ phone, uconnect™ tunes and uconnect™ gps.

uconnect™ phone

What it does:

Uses Bluetooth™ technology to provide voice-controlled wireless communication between the occupants' compatible mobile phones and the vehicle's onboard receiver.
New for 2009, the hands-free system automatically downloads up to 1,000 phone book entries from supported phones. The system also recognizes three languages.
Voice commands can manage onboard phone book entries, select radio stations and access voice mail. Voice memos can be recorded using the microphone that's integrated within the rear-view mirror
Three memos of up to thirty seconds each can be stored in the system. The hands-free option promotes safety, freedom, value and flexibility

Part of uconnect™ phone on select Chrysler, Jeep and Dodge vehicles is an iPod® interface, which allows an iPod to be plugged into the vehicle's sound system to play music through the vehicle's speakers, charge/recharge the iPod when the ignition is on, display artists and music choices on the radio and pause play when uconnect™ phone receives a phone call. The iPod can be controlled through the radio controls and the remote steering wheel switches (if equipped). The system uses a Universal Consumer Interface (UCI) connector located either in the glovebox or in the centre console, depending on vehicle model.

uconnect™ tunes

What it does:
uconnect™ tunes includes the following features for music, movie and personalized picture display:

*A 30-gigabyte hard drive for ripping up to 6,700 songs from CD or USB memory devices in compressed format (either MP3, AAC or WMA file formats)
Photos can be loaded onto the hard drive, allowing the customer to personalize the home screen
Movies can be displayed on the screen for entertaining passengers when the vehicle is in Park

*A maximum of 6700 songs available on radios not equipped with NAV. On radios equipped with NAV up to 4,250 songs can be stored

uconnect™ gps

What it does:
uconnect™ gps combines the features of uconnect™ phone and uconnect™ tunes with navigation. The system includes an integrated voice recognition system and touch screen on most models, for easy operation. The voice recognition system also recognizes more than 100,000 words and can input addresses, which allows the customer to enter destinations while the vehicle is in motion.

Garmin® Navigation

Debuting on the 2011 Jeep® Grand Cherokee is an available Uconnect™ radio featuring optional gps Navigation from Garmin, the name recognized by drivers everywhere as the dependable, must have navigation tool. The new radio features Garmin's intuitive user interface and brings the Garmin consumer experience to a factory in-dash radio.
