Starting this month, Dodge, Jeep, and Ram will start including ten free years of several services:
- Remote locking and unlocking
- Navigation
- Smartphone “digital key” access and engine starting
- Vehicle health reports
- Automatic SOS calls
- Recall notifications and software updates
- Games
- EV management tools
Some of these were provided for a single year, after which the buyer would have to pay for them.
Premium options will be combined into a single “take it or leave it” service, including:
- Wi-fi hot spot
- Vehicle startup and remote climate control
- Vehicle locator (horn and lights)
- Stolen vehicle tracking
- Alerts for going overspeed, out of a location range, and over time
- Navigation with traffic data, speed camera locations, fuel prices, map updates, and last-mile guidance
- Amazon Alexa voice assistant
These will be free for three months, then $18/month in the US. In Canada, where there is no wifi hot spot available, it will be $14/month and also include hands-free control of vehicle functions and smart home integration (this may be part of the Alexa voice assistant).
David Zatz started what was to become the world’s biggest Mopar site (Allpar) in 1994. After a chemo-induced 2007-2010 break, during which he wrote car books covering Vipers, minivans, and Jeeps, he returned with Patrick Rall to create StellPower.com for daily news, and to set up MoTales for mo’ tales (Chrysler history and “permanent” car and truck pages). He most recently wrote Century of Chrysler, a 100-year retrospective on the marque.
