Key Moments in this Video

Uconnect Setup Starts With Apple CarPlay or Android Auto
The Uconnect system controls many of the van’s main communication and entertainment features through the touchscreen: “Your new van comes equipped with the Uconnect system, controlled via this touchscreen. It runs your music, your navigation, your calls, and just about everything else.” The easiest way to connect a phone is through Apple CarPlay or Android Auto. “If you already have a cable, you can plug it into the USB port, and it’ll automatically pop up on the screen.” Some ProMaster models also support a wireless connection. For the first setup, open the phone settings on the touchscreen, add the phone, and follow the prompts. “After that, Apple CarPlay or Android Auto will start up automatically every time.”

Bluetooth Connects Calls and Audio Without a Cable
Drivers who do not use Apple CarPlay or Android Auto can still connect their phones through Bluetooth. “On the touchscreen, under the phone settings, you can simply add a device, then turn on the Bluetooth on your phone and select Uconnect. Make sure the code matches, and you’re connected.” Once paired, Bluetooth provides calls and audio without requiring a cable. “Calls come through the van speakers. You can tap the phone icon on the steering wheel to answer the calls, and you can also tap it again to end them.” Calls can be started from the touchscreen or through the system’s voice controls.

Steering-Wheel Voice Controls Support Hands-Free Use
Uconnect’s voice-command feature allows drivers to request calls, music, or directions without navigating the touchscreen. “For the voice command, simply press the voice icon on the steering wheel, wait for the beep, and then tell it what you need.” The system can also be activated without pressing the steering-wheel button. “You can skip the button by saying, ‘Hey, Ram,’ or ‘Hey, Uconnect,’ to wake it up.” The narrator recommends keeping voice requests natural and simple so the system can understand the command.

Uconnect Provides Radio, Presets, and Navigation
The radio can be opened by selecting the radio source on the Uconnect touchscreen. Available options include FM, AM, and SiriusXM for subscribed users. Drivers can save a station by pressing and holding the desired preset. “The buttons on the back of the steering wheel can help you change stations and volume while keeping your eyes on the road.” When navigation is included in the van, it can be accessed from the Uconnect home screen. A destination can be entered using the touchscreen or voice controls. For settings and functions not covered in the video, the narrator recommends referring to the vehicle owner’s manual for more detailed instructions.
