RAM’s Uconnect 5 infotainment system in the 2022-2025 lineup is more than just a pretty touchscreen it’s one of the most powerful, customizable, and driver-friendly systems on the market. While most owners are familiar with basics like Apple CarPlay and navigation, Uconnect 5 hides several advanced features that make life on the road easier, safer, and definitely fun.
Let’s unlock the full potential of your 2024 RAM 1500, 2500, or 3500 with these 7 underrated features you probably didn’t know were right at your fingertips.
1. Alexa Built-In: More Than Just Voice Commands
Yes, Alexa lives in your RAM and she’s not just for playing music. With Alexa Built-In, you can:
Add items to your shopping list
Control smart home devices (lights, garage doors, etc.)
Check the weather or your calendar
Even start or stop your truck remotely (when linked to your Amazon account)
Just say, “Alexa, open my garage” as you pull up and it’s done.
2. User Profiles for Personalized Driving
If multiple people drive your truck, Uconnect 5 lets each user create a unique profile. It remembers:
Seat and mirror positions
Radio presets
Climate settings
Favorite apps and widgets
Driver-assist preferences (like lane keep or trailer brake gain)
Perfect for families, fleets, or anyone who wants their truck to “recognize” them.
3. Split-Screen Mode for Multitasking
Tired of flipping between screens? Uconnect 5 supports split-screen views so you can run navigation and media (or camera and climate) side by side.
Example: Follow GPS directions while still keeping your favorite podcast controls on screen.
This works best on the 12-inch or 14.5-inch Uconnect displays.
4. Over the Air Updates (OTA)
Forget visiting the dealer just to get bug fixes or new features. Uconnect 5 receives wireless software updates, keeping your system current with:
New app compatibility
Bug fixes and stability improvements
Enhancements to camera, navigation, and voice controls
All updates can be scheduled at night so they don’t interrupt your day.
5. Off-Road Pages & Performance Gauges
If you opted for a Rebel, TRX, or Power Wagon, Uconnect 5 includes Off-Road Pages, showing real-time data like:
Pitch and roll angles
Steering input and wheel articulation
Transfer case status
Suspension mode and height (for air-suspension models)
Perfect for off-roading, overlanding, or just flexing a little on Instagram.
6. Camera Shortcuts & Trailer View Modes
Did you know you can pre-set your climate settings to kick in before you even enter the truck? Using the RAM App + Uconnect 5, you can:
Start your truck remotely
Heat or cool the cabin to a preset temperature
Defrost windows and mirrors automatically
Great for freezing mornings or hot summer afternoons.
7. Camera Shortcuts & Trailer View Modes
Need a quick look behind your trailer? Uconnect 5 allows manual camera selection, even while driving forward.
Some models let you:
Monitor the rear trailer cam in motion
Switch between cargo bed, 360, and trailer surround views
