2022 Chrysler Pacifica — Uconnect Theater Community tested
The 2022 Chrysler Pacifica — Uconnect Theater plays MP4, M4V files that use H264 video and AAC, MP3 audio from a USB drive. Anything outside those formats needs the smallest possible fix first — often just a container repackage or an audio swap, with the video left untouched.

- HEVC / H.265 video — common in 4K and space-saving encodes
- AV1 video
- VP9 video
- MKV (Matroska) containers — very common for movies and TV rips
- AVI containers
- MPEG-TS (.ts) recordings
- 4K / Ultra HD video — the maximum this device handles is 1920×1080

- 10-bit color depth video
- DTS, Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Digital Plus (E-AC-3), FLAC audio soundtracks — the audio is converted, the video is kept as-is
- Surround sound (5.1 / 7.1) — it is downmixed to stereo
- Files larger than 4 GB on a FAT32 drive — a limit of FAT32, not the player (format the drive as EXFAT to avoid it)
Good to know
- Rear-seat screens only; front display locked while in motion
- FAT32 4 GiB per-file cap is the most common failure for full movies — prefer exFAT or split
- No embedded subtitle rendering observed; burn-in is the reliable path
- Some 2022 builds shipped Uconnect Theater as a delete option — verify vehicle has RSE package
