Stellantis in Auburn Hills says it’s trying to make connected services clearer and more valuable for its U.S. customers with a simplified, two-tier offering available on Dodge, Jeep, Ram, and FIAT brand vehicles starting this month.
The two new packages — Connect ONE and Connect WiFi PLUS — bundle the most popular features into easy-to-understand options, designed to fit a wide range of customer needs.
Connect ONE, included at no extra cost and active for 10 years from the date of purchase or lease, includes:
- Over-the-air (OTA) software updates.
- Vehicle health reports, alerts, and service scheduling.
- Automatic SOS calls and recall notifications.
- Remote lock and unlock via the brand app.
- Digital Key for smartphone-based access and engine start (when available).
- In-vehicle games.
- EV charging controls and management tools.
- Basic navigation.
Connect Wi-Fi PLUS, a premium subscription that adds advanced connectivity, control, and convenience with unlimited Wi-Fi data, includes:
Wi-Fi Hotspot: Connect up to eight devices with fast, reliable internet on the go.
Advanced Remote Operations: Start your vehicle, activate climate control, locate it with horn/lights.
Stolen Vehicle Tracking: Supports recovery if your vehicle is stolen
Drive Alerts: Set boundaries for speed, location, and time — “ideal” for shared vehicle use.
Voice Assistant: Hands-free control for vehicle functions and smart home integration.
Connected Navigation: Real-time traffic updates, speed camera alerts, fuel prices, map updates and last-mile guidance.
Alexa Built-in: Amazon Alexa voice assistant embedded into the vehicle.
Customers can try Connect Wi-Fi Plus for three months at no charge, if enrolled within 30 days of a new vehicle purchase or lease. After the trial, the subscription is $17.99 per month.
“We’ve been listening to our customers and simplifying connected services to give them more value, more clarity and more control,” says Cristiani Campos, senior vice president of the software business unit at Stellantis. “By including essential software for the full life of the vehicle and bundling popular features like Wi-Fi, we are giving our customers a connected experience that works better for everyday needs.”
The new packages are available for eligible new and used Dodge, Jeep, Ram, and FIAT vehicles beginning this month. Chrysler and Alfa Romeo vehicles will follow shortly after’
SiriusXM satellite radio and optional services like Hands-free Active Driving remain unchanged. The connected services structure for 2025 and earlier model-year Dodge Durango, Chrysler Pacifica, and Jeep Compass vehicles is also unchanged.
Customers activate Connected Services at the dealership. The Connect ONE package is automatically included with the vehicle. The optional Connect Wi-Fi PLUS trial can be activated during set up.
Customers in Canada will see similar changes later this year. Stellantis is developing enhanced Connected Services offerings for additional markets worldwide.
