Performance Upgrades
The first step in upping the ante on any piece of tech is improving its performance. Uconnect 5 has received substantial upgrades to its processing power and data storage capacity allowing for faster navigation and the ability to run more apps concurrently on multiple display screens, something its predecessors could not do. Performance upgrades aside, the part that most people are going to notice are the improvements to the display. UConnect 5 has a smoother and more intuitive interface than its predecessors and now has the option to be a multi-screen experience allowing for much easier multitasking.
