UConnect Hands-Free Infotainment System: A Look Inside

In addition to a host of original crowd favorites, including a very colorful array of Dodge Challengers (see pics here), Dodge had another unique feature at the New York Auto Show this year - though it wasn't so much about the vehicle itself as what was inside it.

While it's definitely a cool gadget to play around with, utilizing it to its full capacity is even cooler. When we were finished fiddling with the radio (bass is awesome, by the way) we had our friend from Mopar, Doug Johnson, give us a brief demonstration. Check out the video to check out the "connected" Dodge Grand Caravan and all of the awesome features UConnect offers here: UConnect
