If you've ever stood in a cold Minnesota parking lot waiting for your truck to warm up, here's news worth knowing. Every new 2027 Jeep, Ram, Dodge, and Chrysler at Jay Malone CDJR comes with mobile-app remote start — and 10 years of CONNECT ONE connected services — included at no extra cost.
NEW FOR 2027 MODEL YEAR
Mobile-App Remote Start Is Back
10 years of CONNECT ONE included at no extra cost
Why This Is Worth Talking About
Mobile-app remote start is one of those features that sounds small on paper and turns out to be one of the most-used features on a vehicle once you have it. Walking out to a warm cabin in February. Cooling down a leather interior after a hot day in July. Starting the truck from your kitchen while you're still finishing your coffee. These are the small moments of convenience that change how you actually live with a vehicle.
The feature was unavailable on recent CDJR model years for a mix of technical and service-related reasons. For 2027, it's back — and it's no longer a paid subscription add-on. Every new 2027 Jeep, Ram, Dodge, or Chrysler purchased at Jay Malone CDJR gets 10 years of CONNECT ONE connected services included with the vehicle, with mobile-app remote start as one of the headline features.
What You Can Actually Do With It
CONNECT ONE is more than just remote start. The connected services package includes a range of features that turn your phone into a remote control for your vehicle:
Real-Life Scenarios You'll Actually Use
- Just landed at MSP after a trip. Start the vehicle from the gate so the cabin is the right temperature by the time you get to long-term parking.
- It's 95 degrees outside. Cool the cabin before walking out to leather seats that feel like they were left on a stove.
- It's 10 below and snowing. Start the engine from inside the house. Walk out to a defrosted windshield and a warm seat.
- Parked at the far end of a parking ramp. Hit start from your desk so it's running by the time you walk out.
- Lock and unlock from anywhere. Did the kids forget to lock it after grabbing something from the back? Handle it from your phone.
Which 2027 Vehicles Qualify
CONNECT ONE with mobile-app remote start is included on the full 2027 CDJR lineup at Jay Malone:
2027 Models Included

How To Get It Working: Enrollment At Delivery
When you take delivery of your new 2027 vehicle at Jay Malone CDJR, our team will help you complete CONNECT ONE enrollment in person. The process is straightforward:
Quick Setup At Vehicle Delivery
- Download the Uconnect mobile app on your phone (free, iOS and Android)
- Create or sign in to your Uconnect account
- Pair the app with your new vehicle's VIN
- Test remote start with our team before you leave the dealership
We'll walk through it together and confirm everything is working before you drive off the lot. That way you go home with a vehicle that's fully set up, not one you have to figure out later in the driveway.
Why The 10-Year Inclusion Matters
In a lot of vehicles, connected services come as a free trial that converts to a paid subscription after a year or two. Stellantis is taking a different approach for 2027: 10 years of CONNECT ONE included at no additional cost. That's effectively the full useful life of most vehicles — meaning you're not going to get hit with a "your trial has expired" notification three winters from now when you're counting on remote start the most.
For a feature that gets used daily in a Minnesota climate — cold mornings, hot afternoons, and every weather pattern in between — that's a real ownership benefit worth knowing about when you're shopping.
