Stellantis Unveils a New Approach to Its Vehicle Services
References: prnewswire
Stellantis improves its connected vehicle services in the U.S. by introducing two streamlined subscription tiers that enhance accessibility and functionality for drivers. The brand's new system is available for Dodge, Jeep®, Ram, and FIAT models starting in July 2025. The approach consolidates previously fragmented features into two primary packages — Connect ONE and Connect Wi-Fi PLUS.
The base tier of the vehicle service is Connect ONE. It is included at no additional cost for a decade from the date of purchase or lease. This tier provides essential services such as over-the-air software updates, vehicle health monitoring, emergency SOS alerts, remote locking capabilities, and basic navigation. For those seeking expanded connectivity, Connect Wi-Fi PLUS offers premium features, including unlimited in-car Wi-Fi, stolen vehicle tracking, voice-activated controls, and real-time navigation updates. After a three-month trial period, this service is available for $17.99 per month.
