Canada: Stellantis Expands 10-Year Connect One Benefits with Remote Engine Start/Stop
Stellantis is adding remote engine start/stop via the brand mobile app to the standard Connect One plan for 2027 model year Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep®, Ram, FIAT and Alfa Romeo brand vehicles in Canada. Connect One provides 10 years of remote features and vehicle health information at no extra cost.
Also, the optional Connect Plus package, which provides connected navigation and services including stolen vehicle assistance and vehicle finder, is priced at $13.99 a month. Consumers who enroll in the Connect Plus package within 30 days of vehicle purchase receive a free trial for three months.
“Our customers told us they value connected services that matter in real life, and remote start is exactly that. On a cold Quebec morning or a hot British Columbia afternoon, being able to warm up or cool down your vehicle from your phone is not a gimmick; it is technology showing up when people need it,” said Ricardo Stamatti, head of the Stellantis software business unit. “By adding remote engine start/stop to the standard Connect One package, we are turning connectivity into everyday value across our brands, with much more to come soon.”
