This is seriously starting to piss me off. No one at chrysler knows anything about updated maps or how this is supposed to work. I still have 2020 maps in my 2021 vehicle and it's almost 2023.

I think this is pretty straight forward .

2021+ plus are not the same maps as HERE as provided in the link for Unconnect 4. Uconnect 5 maps are provided by TomTom not HERE, you should already know the provided site is irrelevant to Uconnect 5 systems. Map support and upgrades through that website end at MY20.

It's really annoying when my stand-alone TomToms have already gotten their FREE complete NEW map upgrades for the 4th quarter of 2022. A completely new map every quarter.

But yet my TomTom maps in Uconnect 5 are a year older than my vehicle. :mad::mad::mad::mad:

Uconnect needs to fix the TomTom server connection so they can update. It always says the server is not connected. This is total BS when I can pull up TomTom maps on a cell phone through an app and they are up to date, but yet in a 60G vehicle my maps are going on 3 years out of date. The freaking speed limits increased in my state but my Uconnect 5 gives me over-speed warnings saying I am driving faster than the posted speed limit. My stand-alone TomToms and phone have the correct new speed increases.:mad::mad::mad::mad:

I can’t help but wonder if the reason maps can be updated regularly on computers, tablets and cell phones is because they all are standard platforms on widely used operating systems. On the other hand the Chrysler Pacifica Uconnect presents non-standard integration challenges In both hardware and software. The Pacificas with CarPlay give the owners a way to use more economical and more current map offerings.
Uconnect 5 is a standard platform for outdated Android 8.1. Uconnect 4 with maps provided by HERE is a none standard platform with in-house software created by Uconnect. This is why Uconnect 4 systems must upgrade maps by ordering a USB stick from the provided Uconnect/HERE website and upgrade that route. They got away from this and switched to Android because what they created with Uconnect 4 sucks. Stand-alone TomTom units are dedicated nonstandard platform GPS units. When Uconnedt 5 was released Chrylser proclaimed the maps with TomTom would update automatically and stay up to date in real time. That was just another lie from the Uconnect team.

Uconnect 5 Android 8.1 and IOS/CarPlay don't like to jive together but they try. Android Auto works flawlessly, go figure.

LIES! BUT WAIT! Look at the fine print in the first video at @0:06 & 1:03. :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: It is really stupid to make a video like this and then put fine print in it. What is the point of this video? Bait and switch? This video came out AFTER I upgraded my vehicle and was told the maps in Uconnect 5 would always be up to date.

360L and SiriusXM listener profiles (not to be confused with the Uconnect driver profiles) have always been broken in Uconnect 5 and do not work.

Why PM? When is this going to be fixed and maps on MY21s updated? Did you read the fine print in the videos your company created showcasing the maps always being up to date? I have them posted above with specific times for the fine print outlined.
