Getting Started With Apps

Applications (Apps for short) in your Uconnect® Access
system are designed to deliver the features and services

• Built-In Apps — uses the built-in Cellular Network on
your Uconnect® 8.4A or 8.4AN radio.
• Uconnect® Access via Mobile (if equipped) — uses

and control them using the vehicle touchscreen. Cus-
