I've gotta say, this is one amazing video, thank you for this, i never would've gotten as much out of reading the manual as i did by watching this. Thank you once again!

[@TwoGuysandaRide]

Your welcome and thanks for the compliment. We’re thrilled that our video was helpful. Thanks for watching!

[@Al-ft4uy]

This is great! You saved me 2 hours reading the manual. Thanks!

[@TwoGuysandaRide]

Glad it helped! Thanks for watching

[@yukonjack21]

Wow!! That was a huge help. Thank you for your time in making this 😊 I told my salesman about it and I planned to forward the link to him to share with others I have never seen anything so thorough. I would have never gotten half the use out of my vehicle without this explanation.

[@TwoGuysandaRide]

You are so welcome! Gad we could help

[@hmlandis1370]

Just got my own handicapped-accessible 2021 Pacifica 2 weeks ago after having a 2010 Town & Country since July/August 2010. Pretty badass, especially the GPS.

[@TwoGuysandaRide]

Congratulations on your new ride. Thanks for watching

[@rocsanders7255]

The Automatic Park Brake will automaticaly RELEASE if you have the brake pedal pushed hard enough when you put in gear. You don't have to push the release button every time!

[@TwoGuysandaRide]

Thanks for sharing and for watching

OK. So I'm only about 1/2 way through the video and I am COMPELLED TO MAKE A COMMENT NOW TO SAY HOW AWESOME YOUR VIDEO is! :-). I really appreciate how you are presenting the instructions AND the quality of your video in helping me see what you're doing. My wife just purchased a 2021 Chrysler Pacifica Pinnacle and I've already emailed her the link to your video. This *IS THE FIRST* video that anyone with this new car ought to check out. Thank you!!!

[@TwoGuysandaRide]

Wow, thank you! Its great to hear that our videos are helping people with their new cars. Thanks for the compliment and thanks for watching

[@abrahampilkington]

I completely agree! If you read the manual every day for a week you still won't get as much out of it as watching this video 1x! Although I plan on watching it several times and saving it for future reference. I can't believe only 882 people have watched it, the dealership should send this video to everyone that buys a Pacifica rather than going over things quickly in the lot ( I don't know about anyone else but I go blank after the salesperson says 2 sentences about how to use it).

[@TwoGuysandaRide]

@@abrahampilkington thanks for the compliment! Wow, we really appreciate it. If you go to our KZbin Channel and go to playlists, there are over 80 such videos on different vehicles.

@@abrahampilkington Thanks....actually Chrysler saw it and they didnt seem impressed. I guess that didnt want to admit that we did it better than they could :)

[@abrahampilkington]

Right! I’d have spent a week going back and forth between reading the manual and trying things rather than just watching this and getting it right away.

[@MrSalinas35]

Thank you. Made my life easier. Good job!

[@lighttan4042]

Hi guys. Great video. I’m still waiting for my pinnacle from a February 4th order lol. But my question to you is when will you come out with the rear entertainment how to video?

[@TwoGuysandaRide]

Congratulations on your new ride. Yes we do, it comes out on the 14th of this month. Thanks for watching!

[@DanLoFat]

That's great what I really need to know is I want to know what the heck is to let go in maintenance mode for any of the cameras on any model of Pacifica so I can have the camera on at all times especially the rear cam it really helps me in determining if someone might be rear-ending me or coming too close while I always try to allow myself in a forward space I also know that if I need to move up a little bit I can do that. Several several manufacturers winning Subaru has a thing where you hold down the volume control and then you double tap I'm sorry you hold down the home button which is a physical button and then you double tap the tuning knob and that gets you to maintenance mode electronics you can see the rear camera view and then if you leave it alone of course you can't do anything else no other controls are available but typically I you know I set my radio to phone Bluetooth and leave it at that and I'm good to go. So any hacks like that I would appreciate wow I would really love that

[@TwoGuysandaRide]

Thanks for the question. My best advice is to google that. There are several units that claim they can do that but I haven’t used any so couldn’t recommend any particular one. Thanks for watching!

[@hrcnick11]

Thank you.

[@TwoGuysandaRide]

Your very welcome and thanks for watching!

[@dirkdex]

Thanks for sharing this very helpful info! Always better to see things in action! I wish there was an option, or workaround way to fully hide the top and bottom menu bar. That would make the screen so much larger when displaying a video, etc. Has anyone figured out a way to do this? Also, does anyone know the display resolution of the main screen or rear passenger screens? The main screen is so sharp and vivid, it appears to be at least 1080p, and maybe an oled? I would love to know the specs of each, but they are not in the manual and google hasn’t been helpful at all. Thanks if anyone can help!

[@TwoGuysandaRide]

Your welcome we’re glad you found it helpful. The rear screens according to Chrysler are 1080p and a 1280 x 800 pixel display which is different from 1080p and a 1920 x 1080 pixel display. On the videos we played in the van, the top and bottom menu buttons just disappeared automatically after the movie had played for about 20-30 seconds. Also we could not get a true 1080p video to play on the system, I had to go to a 720 p to get it to show up (on a usb). In reference to your question on the resolution of the front infotainment screen I’m not sure what it is but I can tell you that according to Chrysler it has about 3 x as many pixels as the previous uconnect system did. Here is a link to our review of the rear entertainment system 2021 Chrysler Pacifica Pinnacle - CarTech Rear Entertainment System kzbin.info/www/bejne/nIW9g2COhNWKmLc. Hope that helps and thanks for watching!

[@e36z32]

Great videos thank you! Regarding profile and other individual preferences, can these be saved and automatically activated depending on which key fob is starting the vehicle?

[@TwoGuysandaRide]

Your welcome and thanks for the compliment! Yes, when profiles are saved, the vehicle will automatically recognize who is driving and make the appropriate adjustments. It’s a great feature especially when two people are sharing the vehicle. Thanks for watching and don’t forget to hit that subscribe button!

[@conniealexander1657]

Thank you this was very helpful. My question is how do I remove an oil change message? My oil was changed and the message continues to show up. And I can't find a Nav icon, does that mean my car didn't come with that option?

[@TwoGuysandaRide]

Thanks for the compliment! Here are two ways to reset the oil change message. A. Oil Life Reset 1. Without pressing the brake pedal, push the ENGINE START/STOP button and place the ignition in the ON/RUN position (do not start the vehicle.) 2. Push the OK button to enter the instrument cluster display menu screen. GETTING TO KNOW YOUR INSTRUMENT PANEL 123 Secondary Method For Oil Life Reset Procedure Without pushing the brake pedal, place the ignition in the ON/RUN position (do not start the engine). 2. Fully press the accelerator pedal, slowly, three times within 10 seconds. 3. Without pushing the brake pedal, place the ignition in the OFF/LOCK position. NOTE: If the indicator message illuminates when you start the vehicle, the oil change indicator system did not reset. If necessary, repeat this procedure. 3. Push and release the down arrow button to access the ”Vehicle Info” menu screen. 1. 4. Push the left arrow button or right arrow button to access the “Oil Life” submenu. 5. Hold the OK button to reset the “Oil Life” to 100%. 6. Push the up arrow button to exit the instrument cluster display menu screen. B.

If you do not have the Nav icon, then yes there would be no navigation on the car. However you can use Apple CarPlay or Android Auto and then use any navigation app on your phone, displayed on your infotainment screen. Thanks for watching!

[@DamonLovett-ss9th]

I have a 2019 Chrysler Pacifica and whenever i turn in on, my location info has it set on eastern standard time and i live in the central standard time and it's like that because the previous owner lived there. I tried setting the time but it goes back to how it was. How can i set it?

[@TwoGuysandaRide]

Thanks for the question. Click on “controls” at the bottom of the infotainment screen, then click on “settings”, then click on “clock” then click the box next to “sync time with GPS” and now it should set the time correctly and stay that way. Thanks for watching!

[@hayes40oz]

what is pass voice in the shortcuts menu bar options list in the top middle? You skipped over it during the infotainment screen discussion?

[@TwoGuysandaRide]

Thanks for the question. That button is for the front passenger to click on if they want to use the voice command system, like set a course in navigation or change the radio station or the media source. The driver has a voice command button on the steering wheel, this one is for the passenger. Thanks for watching and don’t to hit that subscribe button!

[@hayes40oz]

@@TwoGuysandaRide ahh perfect thanks, will do

[@TheKeyMan12]

Can you stream Netflix or Amazon etc or cast or mirror your phone to the front screen so that you can watch movies on it? I just bought my wife a 2021 Pacifica Touring L yesterday & she likes to watch shows on her phone when she’s in line at school to pick the kids up & we can’t figure out how to stream or cast her phone to the front screen if the van. Thanks

[@TwoGuysandaRide]

Thanks for the question. You cannot stream to the front screen. You can however stream to the rear screen and watch on the front screen as long as the vehicle is on and in park. Take a look at our video on how to do that here 2021 Chrysler Pacifica Pinnacle - CarTech Rear Entertainment System kzbin.info/www/bejne/nIW9g2COhNWKmLc. Thanks for watching!

[@jtbynum5291]

Is there any way to dim the light that is in the instrument panel at night?

[@TwoGuysandaRide]

Yes there is a roll up and down knob just to the left of the steering wheel on the lower dash that will adjust that. Thanks for watching!

[@btcbob11392]

How do you update the GPS maps mine don't show my street and it's been here 2 years.

[@TwoGuysandaRide]

Best to do it via usb. Just do a search for usb download for unconnected update. Then follow the directions. Thanks for watching!

[@BATTY3459]

How different is it on the 2023 model? We're trying to turn down the volume of the caller id for incoming calls because it is absolutely BLARING. Any suggestions?

[@TwoGuysandaRide]

Should be the same as the 2021. What you want to do is when the call is coming in, quickly turn the volume down to the level you want before you answer. If that doesn’t work, go into Settings in the infotainment screen, then look for Volumes and you should be able to adjust it from there. Thanks for watching!

[@BATTY3459]

@@TwoGuysandaRide I will look into it, but what I'm talking about specifically is the volume of the ringer, not the speaker when the person is talking. The ringer volume is exceptionally high.

[@TwoGuysandaRide]

@@BATTY3459ok there is one other thing to try if that doesn’t work. Click on the Media button, then click on Audio Settings at the top. Then scroll down the list in the left until you see Volume Adjustments, click on it and you will see a volume slider where you can adjust phone volume. I’m not sure if that’s the ringer volume or just the volume of the phone conversation but it’s worth a try. Thanks for watching!

[@jcdriskell5507]

Does the 2021 Pacifica video Al’s apply to the 2022 Pacifica?

[@TwoGuysandaRide]

Yes it does. Thanks for watching

[@joelshapsesstudio5908]

great video but how do you reset the clock?

[@TwoGuysandaRide]

Thanks! You should be able to just click on the clock at the top of the infotainment screen and it will open up the window where you set the time and date. Thanks for watching!

[@TekeJerk]

Any clues on how to access the Dealer Settings with this one? I have been asked to access it by Chrysler to check my Software version, but all the methods I've tried don't work. (1. Driver temp Up + temp Down + Front Defrost ..old way 2. Pressing bottom left and bottom right of the touch screen for 5-10 seconds ..also no joy) Any ideas?

[@TwoGuysandaRide]

Thanks for the question. Try clicking on vehicle settings, then scroll down till you see software license. Click on that then you should be able to see the current version of the software. Thanks for watching !

[@MessyFun9396]

I have a 2023 Pacifica touring l and I can’t figure out how to do the software update when connected to my home wifi, once I get it connected, it says scanning then doesn’t do anything and then when I get in my car later it’s still saying to check for update on my screen. Also, can my car update while being off like if I go in the house and come back the next day. Any advice?

[@TwoGuysandaRide]

Thanks for the question. You’re not alone in your quest to update, many others are experiencing the same thing. Yes the vehicle needs to be on for the update to run. I would suggest updating via usb and see if that works better. To many steps to list here but you can google how to update UConnect system by usb, and you should find directions. Basically go to DriveUconnect.com/software-update, download software on 4gb usb, then insert in the usb receptacle in vehicle and initiate update with vehicle running. Some say they have needed a secure code which the dealership should have but might want to check prior to starting. Thanks for watching!

I'm having trouble playing a DVD on the Uconnect .

[@TwoGuysandaRide]

Can you be more specific? Are the rear screens not coming in, does the dvd not go into the dvd slot? Sounds like maybe a trip to the dealership is in order so they can diagnose what is causing the system to not work. Thanks for watching

[@angelicarose4594]

What’s the yellow letter A Circled with exclamation ! ?

[@angelicarose4594]

Showed up on my dashboard

[@TwoGuysandaRide]

Thanks for the question. That would indicate that the vehicles auto start-stop system has a problem. You can try turning the vehicle on and off and on again to see if it disappears. According to Chrysler the vehicle will continue to operate normally except you won’t be quite as economical with fuel. If the symbol persists, I would suggest you take it to the dealership so they can diagnose exactly what’s wrong. Thanks for watching
