personalization to the SiriusXM experience

Ram 1500, 2500, 3500 and Chassis Cab trucks
- Owners of 2019 model-year Ram trucks with Uconnect 12-inch

Ram and SiriusXM today announced another industry-first feature
for Ram truck customers. 2020 Ram 1500, 2500, 3500 and Chassis Cab
trucks equipped with Ram's class-leading Uconnect 12-inch
touchscreen will offer SiriusXM's new "Personalized Stations
Powered by Pandora," which deliver a combination of rich music
curation and industry-leading personalization not found in any
other audio entertainment service.
Ram truck owners with a SiriusXM All Access subscription, using
the SiriusXM with 360L platform on their Uconnect 12-inch
touchscreen, can create their own ad-free music stations based on
the artist they are listening to. On their touchscreen, subscribers
can then give songs a thumbs up or thumbs down within the SiriusXM
service, or even skip songs, to create their own personal channel
that plays more of what they want.
Previous model-year Ram truck owners aren't left out. Via
over-the-air software updates in the fourth quarter of this year,
2019 Ram trucks with Uconnect 12-inch screen will receive updates
granting access to these features. Early-build 2020 Ram trucks
equipped with Uconnect 12-inch touchscreen will receive the update
in October.
Another new feature available to Ram customers using SiriusXM
with 360L is Sports Notifications. This enables the subscriber to
select their favorite teams and get an on-screen notification when
their team's game is on, then easily tune into that game with the
touch of a button. The SiriusXM Sports Notification feature will be
available next month on 2020 Ram 1500, 2500, 3500 and Chassis Cab
trucks and on 2019 Ram 1500 models with the fourth-quarter
update.
SiriusXM subscribers will be notified of the update on their
Uconnect 12-inch screen.
Ram trucks were the first to offer SiriusXM with 360L,
SiriusXM's groundbreaking next-generation platform, when it made
its debut last year. SiriusXM with 360L delivers more SiriusXM
channels and variety to the vehicle by delivering content via both
satellite and streaming. It gives the user more choice at their
fingertips and allows for a more personalized "lean back"
experience as SiriusXM serves them content recommendations based on
their listening preferences. Drivers and their passengers will find
it easier to discover more of what SiriusXM offers, including
exclusive SiriusXM On Demand programming. Ram customers can also
manage their SiriusXM account, renew their subscription and contact
SiriusXM through the touchscreen on the dash when their vehicle is
parked.
