There is much to like about the 2022 Ram Truck lineup. The truck models boast high-powered engine options, impressive off-road capabilities, towing prowess, and high-level utility. The 2022 Ram Truck lineup also benefits from an infusion of many appealing technology features, including the new UConnect 5 infotainment system.

What new features are in the 2022 Ram Truck Uconnect 5 infotainment system?

The 5th-generation Uconnect infotainment system in the 2022 Ram Truck lineup builds upon the previous version. It has faster performance, a more user-friendly design, many new features, and more customization options. 

With the wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, you can seamlessly integrate the features of your smartphone with the Uconnect infotainment system. Also, with the wireless charger, you can conveniently charge your smartphone while on the road. Additionally, with the dual-phone application, Ram pickup and Ram Commercial fleet drivers can easily share relevant information. 

The Uconnect mobile app provides greater functionality. Via your smartphone, you can use the Uconnect mobile app to remotely perform a variety of functions. This includes such things as unlock and lock the doors, start the truck engine, and receive relevant notifications. The Uconnect mobile app also enables you to get external assistance, help the police locate a stolen vehicle, and notify parents when their child exceeds a set boundary with the truck.

It’s a breeze to find your destination with the new navigation system in Uconnect 5. Helpful features in the navigation system include turn-by-turn directions, traffic services, and connected services. Also, the new navigation system has new last-mile navigation and maps over the air features. The last-mile navigation feature provides walking instructions for the last mile of your destination. The maps over-the-air feature automatically downloads and installs map updates.

Uconnect 5 has a more advanced voice recognition feature that more closely matches your natural voice in a conversation. It also has an improved ability to pick out your voice when the background noise is very loud, such as when you have the windows rolled down. 

2022 Ram Truck over-the-air updates

In addition to the maps over-the-air feature, Uconnect 5 offers over-the-air capabilities for updating other truck software, as well as for servicing your truck.
