Anyone notice Off Road Pages is now listed as a Guardian service?

[MrBones]

Not enough people renewing Guardian so they're adding another hook?

What about 2024 or 2025???
Different radio, different software, different services.
ORP never used to be listed in Guardian - so, something has change in the last model year.

I know it worked with 2020 and 2022 (from personal experience!)

I believe mine is incapable of the SiriusXM Guardian (I think it was dropped 2023?) and I still have ORP. I have a trial of XM radio, but nothing else. It doesn't have the gas prices or weather maps of my '21 JL. I can only add Jeep Connect Wi-Fi plus to my vehicle. (Uconnect without the premium tech package.)

I let the guardian trial expire after I got mine, used it a couple times for weather, was kinda nice with the Jeep app, you could lock your doors if you forgot, locate with a honk, etc. But it was more novelty and expensive. My ORP still works and I use it regularly, I can also still go into the other apps and pull up gas prices, navigation still works but it's on an old map(I use Google maps instead).

I love the gas price feature when traveling. Plus it tells you how far away they are.

They keep changing things up - and going the route of other auto makers - subscription based services for some things.

Not certain of this - but looks like they have dropped that in favor of the phone app with the UConnect 5 radio.
ORP and other stuff is free for 5 years from what I see on the Jeep web site.

Found this post, and a few others are reiterating it. This is a wild time we live in. We need VIN validation over cellular to make sure it's ok for a screen built in to the vehicle to display data from the engine that is also built in to the same vehicle. I hate this timeline. Quick AI inquiry search says it's an "anti-theft measure". Literally FO, would love to know how reading oil temp is in any way related to theft.

I know with a bluetooth OBD tool I could get boost pressure on my '21 JL but oil temp and transmission temp were locked out. Make it make sense beyond anti-right to repair.

EDIT: I think in my app the "free" stuff expires 10 years from the day I purchased.

My favorite part of this is how off road pages needs cellular signal in order to check the VIN... a feature that is meant for places that have a high probability theres no cell signal to be used...

Jeep thing?

My shit expires late October. I'll let you know if I can no longer use the 8.4" display I paid for to read my gauges and I have to scroll around the DIC for them instead. LOL @JeepCares .

2024+ has far more stuff - trail maps etc - hopefully this new "paid feature" is just referencing that.

2020 owner here, ORP has worked for years, including yesterday, with no guardian service, and no cell service.

W/r/t 5g, my understanding of 5g is that it isn't replacing 4g, it's extending/enhancing 4g, since it doesn't cover as much range. So I don't think there is a 4g deprecation issue for the uConnect.

That being said, if they turned it off, I'm not sure what I would lose...

The website says 5 years from date of vehicle purchase. Also according to the same website, mine does not expire until 10 years after my date of purchase. 2024 Rubi-X with tech package. Which is it, 5 or 10,

What happens when the cell companies drop the service for the 4G network like they did for the 3G. The 8" head unit is 4G based.

3G was no longer relevant over a decade ago, but was sunset within the last two years by all carriers. I would assume once 4g is replaced with microchips in our brains that feed directly into ChatGPT, a subsidiary of Google, Amazon, Tesla and Meta - it will be 15-20 years from now. A lot of infrastructure has just recently adapted 4G for connectivity, so I would assume we’ll be good for a while longer.

Offroad pages still work in my wife's 2018 JL. No subscription but XM radio.
