I had them repair my shattered screen on my 730n and do the maps update as well. Uconnect 5 takes it a step further by adding native Alexa support to the car itself (sort of like a built-in Echo Auto) for controlling music, sports or weather updates, and more. You send the unit to them, they update the maps and send it back. Some firmware updates can be done seamlessly in the background, while others will require customers to head to a dealership.įCA has previously supported Amazon’s Alexa assistant before through an Alexa skill, allowing customers to do things like start their cars or lock their doors using an Amazon Echo. The company ran into trouble last year with OTA Uconnect updates. The new software promises better over-the-air firmware updates, too, which is something that’s been an issue in the past for FCA. FCA says that the improvements should make the new Uconnect 5 systems up to five times faster compared to the old system. The new Atlantis hardware is much more powerful, featuring a better processor, 6GB of RAM, and up to 64GB of flash memory, plus support for larger and higher-resolution displays (up to 12.3 inches and UHD resolution). The core of Uconnect 5 is completely new hardware: the Atlantis architecture, replacing the previous Powernet one, combined with a switch over to a heavily skinned version of Android on the software side of things. The new system adds tons of new features for future Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Ram, and Fiat vehicles, including integrated Alexa support, improved over-the-air firmware updates, and support for wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

Fiat Chrysler (FCA) today announced the newest version of its infotainment system for cars, Uconnect 5.
