Description And Operation: Navigation: Description

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2022 Chrysler Voyager and 2022 Chrysler Pacifica. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

A factory-installed satellite navigation system based upon the Global Positioning System (GPS) is an available option on this vehicle. A color touchscreen electronic display in the Radio Receiver Module (RRM) provides a graphical interface for programming, searching for and selecting destinations. In vehicles also equipped with a Uconnect® Hands Free telecommunication option, the available navigation systems are also equipped with Advanced Speech Recognition (ASR) input capability allowing hands free operation.

This navigation system provides visual guidance through dynamic maps, while voice prompts through the audio system of the vehicle provide the vehicle operator with audible alerts and directions coordinated with the visual displays. The system also displays and logs valuable trip information such as speed, posted speed limit, distance and Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA).

The navigation system includes the following major components, which are described in additional detail elsewhere in this service information:

Body Control Module - The Body Control Module (BCM) is located within the instrument panel on the driver side of the vehicle. The BCM is the configuration master node for the vehicle. Refer to MODULE, BODY CONTROL (BCM), DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION .
Combination Antenna - The navigation module acquires GPS position data through a roof-mounted combination antenna that also receives satellite audio and cellular signals. Refer to ANTENNA, SATELLITE, AUDIO, DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION .
Microphone - Stereo microphones are mounted in the headliner just above the driver and front passenger in vehicles equipped with the Uconnect® Hands Free Phone system. Refer to MICROPHONE, DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION .
Radio Receiver Module - The RRM is located within the instrument panel and is the primary component of the hands free phone system in this vehicle. Depending upon selected vehicle optional equipment the RRM may include a microcontroller, a Bluetooth® transceiver, a navigation module, flash memory and sophisticated ASR input capability through Voice Recognition (VR) software. The ASR software includes many different available languages. Each vehicle is equipped with a list of available languages, which are made available from the factory based upon languages most commonly used for the market destination. Refer to MODULE, RADIO RECEIVER, DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION .
Steering Wheel Switches - The steering wheel switches are located in two banks or pods located at each side of the Driver AirBag (DAB) trim cover in the spaces between the spokes of the steering wheel. These switch pods contain the Uconnect® VR switch button and the Uconnect® Phone switch button of the Hands Free Phone system.

The RRM also contains a microcontroller and programming that allows it to communicate with other electronic modules in the vehicle using the Controller Area Network - Interior High Speed (CAN-IHS) data bus. Refer to COMMUNICATION, DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION .

The navigation system components cannot be adjusted or repaired. If any of the navigation system components is damaged or ineffective, that component must be replaced. The external combination antenna can be repaired separately from the RRM. The navigation system software as well as the map data is flash programmable through the Universal Serial Bus (USB) port.
