Chrysler has brought out the industry's first smartphone
vehicle-information app, which includes operation tips, maintenance and
warranty information, product-feature videos, connections to Chrysler
social media sites, and access to customer care and 24-hour road-side
assistance. It will also provide links to parts and accessories.
The app for the United States version of the 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee can be
downloaded for free onto iPhones, and will be ported to BlackBerry and
Android later. Similar apps are to be made for other Chrysler, Dodge, Fiat, Jeep and
Ram Truck vehicles in the U.S.
The app was programmed through Tweddle Group. Existing user guides
and DVDs will continue to be included with vehicles.
