The 2025 Chrysler Pacifica: How One Van’s Tech Puts an End to “Are We There Yet?”

Imagine that you’re driving through British Columbia’s scenic routes with the family, and instead of the usual chorus of “Are we there yet?” from the back seats, there’s peaceful quiet. The kids are happily engaged with their entertainment, parents can actually have a conversation, and everyone arrives at the destination relaxed. This isn’t a fantasy—it’s what happens when you combine thoughtful family transport with the right technology.

The 2025 Chrysler Pacifica transforms the family road trip experience through its entertainment and connectivity features. Rather than treating technology as an afterthought, Chrysler designed these systems specifically to address the real challenges parents face during longer drives with children.

Entertainment That Actually Entertains

The available Uconnect Theater takes rear-seat entertainment seriously. With dual 10.1-inch seatback touchscreens, passengers get their own personal entertainment space that doesn’t require sharing or negotiating over what to watch. Each screen connects independently, so one child can watch their favourite show while another plays games. The screens are positioned at the optimal viewing angle and height for passengers of different ages.

Amazon Fire TV integration brings familiar streaming services directly into the vehicle. Parents can download content before the trip, ensuring entertainment availability even in areas with spotty cell coverage along B.C.’s mountain highways or coastal drives. The system includes wireless streaming capability, so tablets and phones can connect without cables cluttering the cabin. Video remote controls give passengers control over their viewing experience, while parents can manage content access through the main Uconnect system.

The theater system includes HDMI inputs for gaming systems, perfect for longer trips when families want to bring portable gaming consoles. A built-in Blu-ray/DVD player provides backup entertainment options that don’t rely on internet connectivity. For audio, wireless headphones can be connected to each screen, allowing passengers to enjoy their content without disturbing others in the vehicle.

Key entertainment features include:

• Dual 10.1-inch seatback touchscreens with independent operation
• Amazon Fire TV for Auto with access to streaming services
• Wireless streaming connectivity for personal devices
• HDMI inputs for gaming systems or additional devices

Connectivity That Actually Connects

Built-in Wi-Fi capability means devices stay connected throughout the journey. The 2025 Pacifica can connect up to eight devices simultaneously, accommodating everyone’s phone, tablet, or laptop needs. This proves particularly useful for B.C. families who travel between urban centres like Vancouver and Victoria and more remote regions where cell coverage can be inconsistent. The 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot maintains connectivity even during extended highway drives.

The Uconnect 5 system offers wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, eliminating the need for cables while keeping important apps accessible. Parents can access navigation, make calls, or control music without handling their phones. The system includes dual-phone connectivity, allowing both parents to stay connected to their devices simultaneously. The wireless charging pad keeps phones powered without additional cables.

Amazon Alexa compatibility adds voice control convenience for families. Parents can ask Alexa to play specific music, check weather conditions for their destination, or even control smart home devices while away. This hands-free approach helps drivers maintain focus on the road while still accessing the information they need.

Smart Solutions for Real Problems

The FamCAM interior camera addresses a common parent concern—checking on rear-facing car seats or sleeping children without turning around. The high-definition camera provides a clear view of rear passengers through the main display screen. Split-view capability lets parents monitor different areas of the cabin simultaneously.

Multiple USB ports throughout the cabin ensure devices stay charged during longer trips. The 2025 Pacifica includes up to 11 USB ports, strategically placed for easy access from every seating position. A 115-volt auxiliary power outlet accommodates larger devices or equipment that families might need.
