Does Dodge have vehicle tracking?

Yes. Dodge offers built-in vehicle-tracking features through its connected-services platform, primarily Uconnect Services (formerly SiriusXM Guardian). These features include locating the vehicle via a mobile app, remotely starting or locking/unlocking, and, in eligible vehicles, Stolen Vehicle Assistance that can share location data with authorities. Access and specific features depend on the model, year, and region, and typically require a subscription after any introductory trial period.

What tracking capabilities are available in Dodge vehicles?

Below are the core tracking-related capabilities that Dodge owners can access when their car is equipped with Uconnect Services:

• Vehicle location and Find My Vehicle: See the car’s location on a map and use the app to locate it if it’s hidden in a parking lot or unfamiliar area.


• Remote start, stop, lock and unlock: Remotely manage ignition, doors, and horn/light to help locate or secure the vehicle.


• Safety and security alerts: Receive notifications about doors, battery, alarm events, and general vehicle status via the Uconnect app.


• Stolen Vehicle Assistance (where available): If the vehicle is stolen, location data can be shared with authorities to aid recovery.

The above features are subject to model-year availability and the specific Uconnect Services package installed in the vehicle. A subscription, ongoing payment, or trial period is typically required after any initial promotional period.

How to access and set up Dodge tracking features

To use tracking capabilities, you generally need to activate Uconnect Services through the vehicle’s touchscreen or the Uconnect app, create or sign in to a Uconnect account, and ensure the vehicle is connected to a cellular network. Availability varies by model and region, and you may need to accept terms and enable location services. Some features are only available on newer models that run Uconnect 5 or the latest Uconnect platforms.

Model and region considerations

Not every Dodge model supports every feature. Availability tends to be strongest on recent, higher-trim models and in the United States and Canada, with regional differences due to regulatory and carrier support.

Privacy and data considerations

Vehicle-tracking data is collected by the automaker’s connected-services platform. Owners should be mindful of data privacy, and you can usually manage preferences within the Uconnect app or your account settings. If you lease or finance a Dodge, the terms of the service may be affected by the lease agreement.

Summary

Dodge offers vehicle-tracking features through its Uconnect Services ecosystem, including location tracking, remote commands, and stolen-vehicle assistance where available. These features are typically subscription-based and depend on the model year, trim level, and region. For current specifics, check your vehicle’s manual, the Uconnect app, or the Dodge official site to confirm what tracking capabilities your model supports and how to enable them.

Can the Dodge app track your car?

If your vehicle is ever stolen, this App (with your permission) will provide its location to the police to help them track it down. If your vehicle is stolen, contact local law enforcement immediately to file a stolen vehicle report. Once this report has been filed, Uconnect Care can help locate your vehicle.

Does Uconnect have vehicle tracking?

Yes, Uconnect can locate your car through the Uconnect mobile app or a web portal using the Vehicle Finder feature, which is part of services like SiriusXM Guardian or Stolen Vehicle Assistance. You can see your car's location on a map and get directions to it, and in some cases, flash its lights to make it easier to find. The feature requires an active subscription and that the vehicle is not in motion and has a good cellular connection. 
How to use Vehicle Finder

• Open the Uconnect mobile app or go to the Uconnect web portal. 
• Access the "Location" or "Vehicle Finder" tab. 
• Press the "find your vehicle" icon and enter your PIN if prompted. 
• The app will display your car's location on a map. You can then get directions to it. 

Important considerations

• Vehicle must be stationary: The Vehicle Finder feature will not work if the vehicle is in motion. 
• Cellular connection: Both your smartphone and the vehicle need a good cellular connection for the feature to work. 
• Power saving mode: If the vehicle has not been turned on for 15 days or more, it enters a power saving mode, and you must start the ignition to send a signal. 
• Stolen vehicles: For a stolen vehicle, you must first file a police report and then contact Uconnect Care. A Uconnect agent can then work with law enforcement to help track the vehicle. 

How do I tell if there is a tracking device on my car?

To find a tracker in your car, first perform a thorough physical inspection of common hiding spots like the OBD-II port, under seats, in the trunk, and around the exterior bumpers and wheel wells. Next, use electronic tools such as a bug sweeper to detect radio frequencies or a smartphone app to find Bluetooth or Wi-Fi signals, as some trackers may not transmit unless the vehicle is moving. If you are still unable to locate the device, consider hiring a professional to perform a professional sweep with advanced equipment.

Physical inspection

• Inside the vehicle:
  • OBD-II port: Check under the dashboard on the driver's side for any unfamiliar devices plugged into the port. 
  • Under seats and mats: Thoroughly check beneath and between all seats and under floor mats for any unusual objects. 
  • Glove compartment and center console: Look for hidden devices in these common areas. 
  • Trunk: Inspect the entire trunk, especially under the spare tire and in any small compartments. 
  • Engine compartment: Look for any non-standard wires or devices attached to the engine, fuse panel, or battery. 
• Outside the vehicle:
  • Bumpers: Use a flashlight and mirror to check inside and around the bumpers. 
  • Wheel wells: Feel and look inside the wheel wells for any attached devices. 

Electronic detection

• Use a bug sweeper: A bug sweeper, or RF detector, can locate active GPS trackers by detecting the radio frequencies they emit. Walk slowly around the inside and outside of your car with the device. 
• Use a smartphone app: Some apps for both iOS and Android can help detect Bluetooth or Wi-Fi trackers. 
• Tip: Some trackers are designed to remain dormant until the car is in motion. To test this, you may need to gently rock or move the vehicle to "wake up" a potentially transmitting device before sweeping for it. 

Professional assistance

• If you can't find a device after these steps, or if you suspect a hardwired tracker is present, consult a professional. They have specialized tools and expertise to locate even the most discreet devices. 

Do Dodge Challengers have tracking devices?

The 2021 Dodge Challenger Scat Pack does not include a built-in GPS tracker from the factory. For vehicle tracking, consider installing an aftermarket GPS tracking device compatible with your car's electrical system. Ensure professional installation to avoid warranty issues and maintain system integrity.
