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...
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...
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.
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...
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...
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...
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.
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.
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.
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!
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...
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...
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...
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.
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.
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...
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...
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...
