The Fremont Motors blog offers tips on how to set new favorite apps on your vehicle's UConnect infotainment system.

UConnect is available in newer Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep and RAM vehicles, among others. It is great for connecting with a smartphone for maps, music and useful information on the go.

The favorite apps area are the apps listed along the bottom of the screen. The standard favorites are items such as radio, media, controls, climate and navigation. You may want to rearrange them, as you would on your own phone. For instance, if you often drive in areas new to you, or if bad weather is in the forecast, weather and navigation information should be among the first items in the favorites.

To make one of the apps a favorite, visit the apps page, select the one you want, then hold it down. Drag it over top of the favorite icon you'd like it to replace. You should see it moving to the new favorites spot as you do this. If not, try again. The app will stay in this spot in the favorites area unless you change it again. Feel free to experiment to determine what setup works best for you.
