Compatibility & System Requirements
Our map updates are compatible with all Ram 1500 models equipped with factory-installed Uconnect navigation systems from 2013 to the present year. This includes both the smaller 5-inch and larger 8.4-inch and 12-inch Uconnect systems.
Before purchasing, verify your system version by navigating to Settings > System Information on your Uconnect screen. Our updates support all versions of Uconnect 3, 4, 4C, 5, and the latest Uconnect 5 systems with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration.
Installation typically requires a computer with an internet connection, a USB drive with at least 32GB of storage (64GB recommended for full North American updates), and approximately 1-3 hours depending on your internet speed and the size of the update. The update process maintains all your saved addresses, favorites, and system settings.
Benefits of Regular Updates
Regular map updates provide tangible benefits beyond just having current maps. Updated navigation systems can help reduce fuel consumption by providing more efficient routes, potentially saving hundreds of dollars annually for frequent drivers. They also reduce driver stress by providing accurate arrival times and avoiding unexpected road closures or construction zones.
For business users, updated maps mean more efficient routing for deliveries or client visits. For families, it means safer routing during road trips with up-to-date information on rest areas, service stations, and emergency facilities. The peace of mind that comes from knowing your navigation system is providing the most current information available is invaluable, especially when traveling in unfamiliar areas.
Additionally, maintaining current maps can help preserve the resale value of your Ram 1500. Prospective buyers appreciate a vehicle with updated technology, and a navigation system with current maps is a selling point that demonstrates the vehicle has been well-maintained.
