No Uconnect Access for Apps
Uconnect Access is a paid subscription service which allows you to download various apps to your phone that will work with your RA3/RA4 using the vehicle's telematics module via 3G network. These apps provide certain features like the ability to remotely lock and unlock your doors access, start the vehicle etc via a phone app. It also provides access to a wifi hotspot within the vehicle.
Vehicles with RA4 from factory are Uconnect Access ready, however most vehicles that originally didn't have an RA4 won't have the necessary antenna to access this service. The antenna can be purchased through your dealership or Mopar. The rest of the process involves changing out the factory antenna, and then having your dealer change your build codes to show you have the RA4 but it isn't recommended as 3G is a dead network.
It’s an entirely doable process but sometimes not easily done. Plus with the end of the 3G network, you'll need a 4G to 3G converter dongle/paid service from a cell service provider. The hardest part can be getting your dealer to update the build codes, so that when you call Uconnect support to activate it they show you have this unit.
For anyone upgrading to Uconnect 3 or Uconnect 4 will not gain or retain any Uconnect services, or the new branding of Uconnect services as Sirius XM Guardian.
