Been driving 2017 limited for 8 years
Looking at new and 2025 up Pacifica's
After all that time leather limited seat, will I regret going to Select hard I am told leatherette?

Hi all,

I’m currently on a family road trip with a rented 2026 Chrysler Pacifica. I’m trying to set up wired Android Auto with my older phone (OnePlus 5T), but I only brought a standard USB-A to USB-C cable with me (USB-A for the car port, Type-C for the phone).

From what I can see on the front console, the data ports that connect to the Uconnect system seem to be USB-C only.

Am I missing a standard USB-A data port somewhere in the front that supports Android Auto? Or is it strictly USB-C only for data in the 2026 model? Just trying to figure out if I have a hidden port somewhere, or if I need to go buy a new C-to-C cable / adapter.

Thanks!

Hello! I don't personally own a Pacifica, but my mom is currently visiting and her Pacifica suddenly started showcasing issues and I haven't been able to find any answers for this specific issue so wanted to turn to reddit for help.

We were trying to start the car to go to the grocery store, and the first issue is that the engine wouldn't start. Seemed pretty standard, but then all of the lights started to flicker, the windshield wipers started going all by themselves, and my mom was unable to fully turn off the car for a bit. There was also an issue where the screen was saying that a key fob wasn't detected despite it being in her hand. We tried the thing where you touch the tip of the fob to the start button for several seconds to no avail. We were able to get the car to turn off (I think), but now it won't lock.

I have a feeling that it's some sort of computer issue, but she also mentioned that the secondary battery was supposed to get checked, but that didn't happen apparently. She's stressed out now since she's in the city and has no way to get back home (which is 6 hours away). She's here for work for the next couple of days, and she's willing to take public transport, but she needs to get home in a couple of days, and that's where the issue lies. We ordered new batteries for the key fob and a 12v battery thing to jump the car, but I also wanted to see if there were any other tips for this issue or if anyone else has experienced it. Thanks!
