As a modern-day vehicle owner, you can download mobile apps to keep track of information about your vehicle. Two popular options are the Jeep app and the Mopar app. Below, we explain what each app does and how to decide which is best for you.
Interface and Vehicle Compatibility
The Jeep app and the Mopar app have many similarities. The Jeep app is essentially a rebranded Mopar app tailored for Jeep owners. While the Jeep app is best for Jeep owners, the Mopar app is designed for drivers of various vehicles, including Fiat, SRT, Dodge, Ram, Jeep, and Chrysler.
Both apps offer a user-friendly interface with simple navigation features, looking the same on Android and Apple devices. The Jeep app has nine menu items, while the Mopar app has ten. Both apps are compatible with vehicle models from 2011 or later. If your vehicle is from 2010 or earlier, you won’t be able to use either app as intended.
Uconnect Access
Most new Ram, Jeep, Dodge, and Chrysler vehicles come with the Uconnect infotainment system, which includes Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. It allows you to play music and podcasts, make calls, send texts, and get directions via your mobile phone.
As a Uconnect infotainment system owner, you can opt for a Uconnect Access subscription for a small monthly fee. This subscription offers remote services like locking, unlocking, and starting your car remotely, stolen vehicle assistance, a drive rating report, a vehicle finder, and “Send ‘N Go” smartphone navigation.
If you’re a Uconnect Access subscriber, the Mopar app may be more convenient since the Uconnect Access app directly links to it. While you can still use the Jeep app, it may require extra steps to open from the Uconnect app.
Find a Dealership Near You
Both the Jeep and Mopar apps can help you find a dealership near you. Using your current location, these apps provide several options and allow you to save your preferred dealership for easy reference. You can schedule a service appointment or call the dealership directly from the app.

Pull Up Maintenance Records
Forgot when you last got an oil change or tire rotation? The Jeep and Mopar apps can help you keep track of all your maintenance records. The Jeep app stores this information under the “My Garage” tab, while the Mopar app has a similar feature. These records help ensure timely vehicle maintenance.
Retrieve the Owner’s Manual for Your Specific Vehicle
Ditch the hard copy of your owner’s manual and use the Jeep and Mopar apps to access it digitally. By logging in and scanning your vehicle identification number, you can pull up your vehicle-specific manual, containing important maintenance recommendations and troubleshooting information.
Receive Roadside Assistance and Accident Support
Stranded with a flat tire? The Jeep and Mopar apps can request roadside assistance, towing services, and other help if you’re stuck on the side of the road.
Stay Informed of Safety Recalls and Notifications
Stay on top of safety recalls and notifications with the Jeep and Mopar apps. They will alert you whenever a recall related to your vehicle is issued. After receiving a recall message, visit your local dealership’s service center to address the issue.
Which App Is Best for You?
Both apps are similar in functionality, so your choice often boils down to personal preference. Uconnect subscribers may prefer the Mopar app due to its direct connection to the Uconnect app, while Jeep owners might favor the Jeep app.
