An upgrade is on its way.
FCA US LLC looks to build upon its in-vehicle technology to bring drivers even more convenience at their fingertips. Deploying during the second half of 2019, the automotive brand plans to launch a new in-vehicle commerce platform, Uconnect® Market.
The new platform will provide users the ability to order food, find the nearest gas station or even make dinner reservations.
According to an official FCA US LLC press release, Uconnect Market includes the following services:
Wallet
When setting up a Uconnect Market account, vehicle owners can enroll a credit card for use with selected Uconnect Market partners.
Service
Consumers will have access to national Mopar service offers, the ability to locate a certified Mopar service center and schedule service appointments.
Fuel
Owners can view a list of nearby fuel stations and authorize a fuel pump charge at participating Shell stations by using the Shell Pay & Save program.
Food
The platform uses Yelp to display a list of nearby restaurants by category; consumers also have the option to make reservations at participating restaurants.
Parking
Find, book and pay for parking at thousands of garages across North America through ParkWhiz, an Arrive-powered brand.
The platform is set to deploy via an over-the-air update for model-year 2019 and 2020 Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep® and Ram brand vehicles equipped with connected services and the latest generation of 8.4-inch touchscreens.
According to the press release, the goal is to have all new FCA US LLC vehicles connected to Uconnect Market by 2022.
