Uconnect5 Software Offers New Features for 2022 Ram Pickup Trucks
Vehicle information systems for all 2022 Ram pickup trucks receive useful updates via the new Uconnect5 software that is much faster than the previous system, adds new content, and improved customization options for regular truck customers and fleet buyers. According to the Head of Software Business and Product Management, Mamatha Chamarthi, the Uconnect 5 system can align with customer needs using personalization options and unique content to assist drivers in accomplishing their goals more efficiently. For example, when entering Ram’s towing mode, the system can be customized to quickly give drivers access to the information they need in the cluster screen, such as powertrain temperature, torque usage, and engine performance.
Uconnect 5 Customization Options
Both pickup and commercial vehicle owners benefit from the new Uconnect5 system because of its customization versatility. Users can create a custom home screen displaying any information they want. Integrated apps and other features can be personalized for quick and easy access allowing for five different user profiles (five different drivers). This function is beneficial for multi-driver commercial vehicles where each driver can build their own profile and set preferences that best suit their driving needs.
Main Technology Features
Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity come as standard allowing the driver to connect to the vehicle’s computer, enabling them to use their favorite apps. The 2022 Ram 1500 models come standard with an 8.4-inch touchscreen, but consumers can upgrade to a larger 12-inch unit with a higher-resolution display. The Uconnect5 system also has a dual phone app that allows Ram pickup and Ram Commercial fleet customers to connect and share information more easily. Also, built-in navigation provided by TomTom displays traffic and other transit information that gives drivers a more informed travel route.
Over-the-Air Updates
Since most new electric vehicles have over-the-air-update capabilities, Ram also makes sure to include the same functionality in its 2022 pickup trucks to keep in line with the trend. Its software is upgradeable and will never be out-of-date because of the updates Ram plans on releasing in the future.
Upgraded Ram Telematics
The onboard Telematics features a significant upgrade that allows companies specializing in fleet data collection to offer monitoring services to fleet owners. Ram’s 2022 Telematics system aids with driver safety, maintenance scheduling, and operational efficiency. Fleet owners can send information from specific vehicles via the system’s cloud, where it’s collected by third-party companies that package the information for the fleet owner to utilize in making decisions concerning routes, vehicle types, driver changes, and load weight.
Convenient Smartphone Connectivity
As an added bonus, Ram pickup drivers can even start the engine of their vehicle from the convenience of their mobile phone via the Uconnect app, in addition to locking and unlocking the doors remotely. There is also an automatic emergency feature that calls for help when the vehicle senses a crash. In incidents of car theft, Ram’s Stolen Vehicle Assistance feature helps law enforcement track its location. An available Valet Alert mode also sends notifications to the owners when someone else is driving the vehicle.
