FCA Adding 4G LTE Modems to 2017 Trio

FCA will equip three of its 2017 model-year vehicles with 4G LTE modems to enable greater connectivity to pair with its upgraded Uconnect system.

The 2017 Dodge Charger, Dodge Challenger and Chrysler 300 will also offer a trial of connected services as part of the Uconnect Access product that debuted in 2012. The services would include hands-free calling, an array of entertainment options, and navigation options such as improved mapping, points of interest, and turn-by-turn directions.

The 4G LTE modem will be included with a connected vehicle platform that's integrated with the Uconnect 8.4 and 8.4 NAV systems.
