  1. Proximity door locks retrofit on Wrangler/Gladiator, someone figured it out (DIY writeup)

    I can confirm that I successfully used an OBD Link MX+, Chrysler 12+8 bypass cable, my android cell phone & AlfaOBD to "turn on" the Off Road Pages on my 8.4" UConnect radio for my JT Sport S. AlfaOBD cost $50 on the google play store, and allows UNLIMITED USAGE ON MULTIPLE VEHICLES (i.e. it...
  2. Proximity door locks retrofit on Wrangler/Gladiator, someone figured it out (DIY writeup)

    Yes, photos of body-side connectors. Understood, I'll still need to replace the door wiring harness. The thread on the JL forums says that Sport Wrangler owners need to do body-side wiring mod for those 2 connectors on each side for this mod to work -- photos over there show pins 15 & 16...
  3. Proximity door locks retrofit on Wrangler/Gladiator, someone figured it out (DIY writeup)

    This is NOT how it works on my manual transmission JTS. I have to have clutch down, then I have to push & hold the start button until engine started. If I let go of the button, it immediately stops cranking.
  4. Proximity door locks retrofit on Wrangler/Gladiator, someone figured it out (DIY writeup)

    Now I'm confused... According to this post on the JL Forums, it says that Sport S needs additional wiring installed for this mod to work... I've ripped/uploaded the photo from that post below: Yet, when I look at the driver side connector on my Sport S, it appears as follows: Edit...
  5. Proximity door locks retrofit on Wrangler/Gladiator, someone figured it out (DIY writeup)

    As soon as I get my door handles & wiring harnesses, I'm going to attempt to use AlfaOBD to activate proximity door locks on my 2020 JT Sport-S. I had to purchase AlfaOBD so I could perform a "PROXY alignment" in my 2020 Compass after upgrading the 7" radio to 8.4 NAV. Since I've already...
  6. 7” to 8.4” Issues

    Sorry, I never got back to you. Yes, I did the swap about 6 weeks ago now. Yes, it works great. Aside from some initial quirky behavior, after I let the truck sit for a couple of hours, engine off, doors closed, no keys inside, everything just worked. Full disclosure: I do not have Sirius...
  7. Mopar Releases New Doors-off Mirror Kit for Jeep Gladiator

    Yep, my 1978 CJ5 had mirrors that stayed on when doors were off... (google images photo)
  8. Premium Soft Top Replacement (not a recall per se)

    Follow-up: The dealer ordered a new latch for the driver side. After they installed it, the driver & passenger latches both require about the same amount of force to latch (before, the driver side needed MUCH LESS force to close). I haven't had any problems since.
  9. I finally figured out what's bugging me about the looks of the soft top...

    I've only "forgot" and pulled into my garage FOUR times now with the soft top open...What are you talking about?!?!? :blush: Haven't had to replace the garage door yet...ONE more time and I may not be as lucky.
  10. 8.4 u connect with nav part # ?

    Plug and play -- and don't panic if HVAC doesn't function correctly at first...after a few hours, it'll start working. Also, USB2 (in the arm rest) will no longer work for media / car play / android auto -- only USB1 (on the dash) works for those.
  11. Show me them dashes!

    The dash should match the exterior - like my old CJ5!!! I took my dash apart & took the parts to my local body shop & had them painted to match! I also had them paint the reverse lock-out ring on the stick shift -- Before I had gray dash & rubicon red on the shifter...ridiculous!
  12. Anyone have any experience with Insane Audio?

    Here is my experience with the InsaneAudio JL3001 head unit in my 2020 Gladiator Sport-S. I upgraded from the 7" Uconnect radio. The factory radio has one big connector, and 4 other smaller wires that attach. The Insane Audio unit, on the other hand installs by plugging into 4 of the 5...
  13. 8.4 u connect with nav part # ?

    Before & After...It worked!!!!! I ordered the parts from Bennie @AllMoparParts.com on 8/29. They arrived today, 9/17. Parts are brand new -- NO REFURBISHED UNIT HERE! I had previously installed the iNsAnE aUdIo JL3001, and ended up sending it back -- it is more a tablet device than a car...
  14. How loud is the soft top?

    My JT has the dual top option. I ordered WITHOUT factory headliner, and then added the Hothead Head Liners. Hotheads are noticeably not as loud, and *MUCH* cooler when getting in on a hot summer day, etc. On the highway, at speeds above 65, there is no question that the soft top is louder...
  15. 2021 Jeep Gladiator Build & Price is UP

    The dash (and the reverse lock-out ring) should match the exterior, like this! I took mine apart & took the pieces to a local auto body shop who painted them for me.
  16. 8.4 u connect with nav part # ?

    I ordered mine from the forum sponsor, @AllMoparParts.com . Here are the part # links that Benny provided me: 8.4" Radio Part #68417861AK Bezel Part #6AB55TX7AB Hope this helps. I'll let you know how my upgrade goes when I get mine.
  17. Max size for USB drive?

    I have a 256 GB drive formatted NTFS that works great in my Sport S with the 7" Uconnect.
  18. REVIEW - Carolina metal master (CMM) mirrors

    I've had my CMM mirrors for ~3 weeks now. My JT is my daily driver, so every Friday, soft top is removed (man-bun OK for weekday driving, not on week-ends), doors removed & CMM mirrors installed for "week-end mode" driving...It wasn't until after doing this 3 times that I realized positioning...
  19. Banks open for 2021 model year Gladiator...how do you order if paint colors aren't yet available?

    Short answer: You wait! If the color you want is not available today, you will have to wait until it is available. Last year, I went into the dealership on 7/12 to order my Hydro Blue -- dealer said, "No can do! That color is not on my order screen". When I went back on 9/11 to order Hydro...
  20. What can we do for you?

    Hello: I am interested in upgrading my 7" Uconnect radio to the 8.4" Uconnect radio. In my searches, I am finding 2 part numbers for this upgrade: 68417862AH 68417866AG In a previous post, I'm also seeing this part # 68417861AK Can you tell me what is the difference between these 3 part...
