uConnect 5 update?

[LaramieAdam]

I hear the 2022 with have uConnect 5, these current 5th gen have wifi capabilities so I'm curious if anyone has heard of an update.

Main reason is id really like to have wireless Andriod Auto.

You're apparently correct about the '22 models having uconnect5. Unfortunately, there will be no update for those of us with uconnect4. It will require new hardware. It was the same way with 4th gens, when they added apple car play and android auto to the '18 models. No update for previous model years.

My thinking was.. to get andriod/ apple auto the vehicle needs to have all the appropriate hardware/ software.

Currently we have a wired connection for the app and all is required for wireless is wifi as Bluetooth can't handle the data transfer. Considering the uConnect 4 does have Wi-Fi (assumed it does) all is needed would be a software update for the wifi to access the andriod / apple system

You'd think that, but from what I have read in other Ram forums, that won't be the case. You will need new hardware to upgrade to uconnect5.
