The biggest problem with adding the AUX switches is the instructions. Apparently, if you follow them as written, it pops a couple fuses. This prevents the programming change to recognize them from taking effect. The hardest part of the install is getting the wires through the firewall.
If this is true, then remove the battery tray. It's about an hour worth of work in each direction and best part is there won't be any grommet stabbing (or fender/liner removal) required. Without the battery in the way it's completely wide open from the top.
I appreciate the tip. Watched the video. It’s just too much hassle to begin to tackle that. I’m starting to think my time is worth much more than all that trouble. i really enjoyed doing all these things on my JKU but these newer ones are frustrating.
So even with JSCAN you still have to require a trip to the dealer? Blah, thats what I was hoping to avoid. I just hate dealing with dealerships.
To clarify, I took it to the dealer ($50 to add the option) to avoid having to program it myself, when it didn't work (the switches didn't even show up on the radio when I left the dealership). I took it back again to the dealership and they said the option was there. They offered to debug it for ~$150 bucks. I left and got the Jscan and then figured it out myself. Hind sight I would have tried doing it myself before dealing with the dealer at all.
I did not took into the dealership to activate the AUX switches.
