RA3 and RA4 Radio Uconnect® Access Applications and WiFi hotspot will be automatically updated in the replacement radio through the embedded cellular phone of the radio based upon the current subscription status of the customer. This update process may take up to an hour, depending upon the number of applications and available cellular services access. The dealer is not expected to perform this process or to oversee it, but may need to explain to the vehicle owner or operator that some features and applications may not be fully restored and overall system response may be slowed until the process has completed.
For RA3 radio only: If the radio has had the GPS navigation feature activated, any factory replacement radio for the same vehicle will be provided with the GPS navigation system already activated. Refer to DESCRIPTION .
