WI-FI Hot Spot

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2014 RAM 1500. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Vehicles equipped with the Uconnect™ Access system can become a Wi-Fi hot spot with payment of a daily, weekly or monthly subscription option. This system allows the use of the vehicle as a Wi-Fi hot spot for connecting consumer Wi-Fi devices to the internet through a Wi-Fi antenna and an embedded cellular connection that are internal and integral to the Radio Receiver Module (RRM) (also known as the radio or the head unit), and the external cellular combination antenna.

The Wi-Fi Hot Spot system includes the following major components, which are described in further detail elsewhere in this service information:

Wi-Fi Antenna - The Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) (also known as Wi-Fi) antenna is internal and integral to the RRM.
Wi-Fi Device - A customer-supplied Wi-Fi capable device is a required component of the Wi-Fi Hot Spot system.
Combination Antenna - The RRM sends and receives cellular data through a roof-mounted combination antenna that also receives satellite audio and Global Positioning System (GPS) navigation signals. Refer to ANTENNA, SATELLITE, AUDIO, DESCRIPTION .
Radio Receiver Module - The Radio Receiver Module (RRM) (also known as the radio or the head unit) is located near the top of the instrument panel center stack area and is the primary component of the telecommunication system in this vehicle. The RRM includes a 213 millimeter (8.4 inch) color electronic touchscreen display, a microcontroller, a Bluetooth™ transceiver, a navigation module, flash memory and sophisticated Advanced Speech Recognition (ASR) input capability through Voice Recognition (VR) software. The ASR software includes many different available languages. Each vehicle is equipped with a list of available languages, which are made available from the factory based upon languages most commonly used for the market destination. Refer to RADIO, DESCRIPTION .

The Uconnect™ Access Wi-Fi Hot Spot system components cannot be adjusted or repaired. If any Wi-Fi Hot Spot system component is damaged or ineffective, that component must be replaced. The external combination antenna can be repaired separately from the RRM. The Wi-Fi Hot Spot system software is flash programmable through the Universal Serial Bus (USB) port.
