This is Dave from Allpar, and we're just sort of going through the vehicle information system
0:06
what we used to call a trip computer, and Chrysler is usually called an EVIC
0:11
or Electronic Vehicle Information Center. You can actually choose what goes on to the three top parts of the screen
0:18
where it says screen set up, you can also replace that by something else, which makes sense because you already know what screen you're on most of the time
0:26
So it's pretty flexible, and it gives you a lot more information than you would normal
0:29
get or that you ever used to get on older vehicles even with full gauges
0:37
So we've got a pair of the traditional trip information centers. We've got all sorts of
0:42
details on what's going on inside the car. Instant fuel economy, although you can show the average
0:47
up on the top so that you don't really need it. It's a nice system overall. You really can't
0:52
complain. Let's check out the voice activation system for the music. Play artist Devo
1:03
Now I going to go through and I going to use the physical knob to control the device wherever I can This is the 8 inch screen that standard on an awful lot of Chrysler vehicles these days
1:25
So this is sort of a satellite radio station picked at random. I go through, there's all sorts of settings
1:33
A ludicrous number of things can be set on this vehicle, many more than you used to be able to
1:38
And it's really, really nice. They started doing this with the 99 Grand Cherokee
1:43
and it's just gotten deeper and deeper since then. You can control the door locking and the headlights
1:49
all the safety stuff. You can turn it on, you can turn it off. There's now three different ways to have the backup camera working
1:56
It just gives you extensive control over the car systems, and it does it in a very easy way
2:02
You probably only have to set it once, but it's still nice that you can do this instead of doing it in a much harder way
2:09
are having to go to the dealer to change simple things like this. If you remember the way that we used to have to change preferences
2:18
then you'll really, really appreciate how easy this is
