Deceptive Advertising (IMHO)

So if you just look at the Gladiator page off of Jeep's website, it talks about Uconnect vehicles being able to do the remote features (find, lock, unlock, remote start). NO WHERE here does it talk about this fine print crap of Uconnect 4 vs 4C, only "3 Different Uconnects for you!" mumbo. So, I went ahead and purchased a vehicle that had the 7" touch screen with Uconnect and now (no thanks to any dealer personnel or online help) I discovered this isn't the magic 4C you need, only the 4. Maybe I'm officially entering "grumpy old man"-ville, but this just sticks in my craw. And, more so, that I had to figure it out on my own. As of this post, I have a service appointment for tomorrow, to get it activated (which I'll be cancelling).

Ok but… Is it “the last Jeep you’ll ever own?”

Probably not.

Gotta do your own research nowadays. Can't trust the dealer for anything. Make sure to appropriately review them when you get your survey. Also doesn't hurt to tell the dealer you are doing it and why as well before hand. Really that survey response is the only thing the dealers really care about.

Harumf! Harumf!

Buyer beware and all, but yeah, the website doesn't make the distinction super obvious.

 

[Deadeye]

Don’t worry, it sucks anyway. The app and satellites are easily interfered with

 

[Jteakus]

Skip it. Mine hasn't worked in a year.

Oh hell yeah ....let’s rock!

You’re honestly not missing anything with the Uconnect stuff. It’s okay if it even works.

Mine works fine, and my salesman was good about explaining what was necessary.

What I find on the Jeep web site, Gladiator page is this - key word "available" - otherwise I don't see what says explicitly that they will.........
>>Available Uconnect® Services let you connect to your Gladiator through an easy-to-use app that gives you remote access and control, plus key information about your driving.<<

It's also a subscription thing as far as using an app to access the truck lock, unlock, etc...
That's why it says "available", not "Jeeps will do this"

just funning with you a bit OP

The OP bought a product for tens of thousands of dollars and DIDN'T check to see if features he wanted were in it....and this is somehow the seller's fault?

Uh....no.

OP, don't forget to holler, "Get off my lawn, YOU DAMN KIDS!" Lol

When my wife shops for vehicles, she doesn't know what to ask for but she knows her goals and what she wants to happen or have the vehicle do, so she asks - will the wipers come on when it rains? Will the headlights dim when another car comes? Can I unlock it without pushing any buttons?
When you know the right questions or have a goal and can describe the goal, it'll get you there.

Funny how the surveys work. Dealer asked me if there was any reason I wasn't going to give them 5 stars. I said "besides you making me wait for over 2 hours for our scheduled appointment, dirty jeep with a crushed in front bumper?" Never did receive that survey...
