I spoke with the dealer today, as well. He said that he did confirm that my head unit does not support Alexa Built-In. It has been escalated as they try to determine why the feature has been removed from certain head units, but still listed as a feature. He promised a call back this week. No...
So far the dealer has been helpful. I believe the dealer/manufacturer must legally remedy the issue buy providing Alexa Built-In or compensation. There are also potential fines and penalties for incorrect Mulnoney labels.
Alexa Built-In apparently has other functions such as climate and phone...
I advised the service advisor of Jeep Connect's findings. He was really puzzled. He was looking into the head unit model number (R1M) and found a reference to a "decontented" unit, but there was nothing to indicate what was removed.
He also said that Alexa Built-In provides voice controls...
Jeep Connect says that my head unit (R1M) does not support the Alexa Built-In function. Interesting that it is listed on the Mulroney Label but not actually available. I am curious as to how widespread this is.
I am awaiting a return call form the service advisor. I'm not sure how far I want...
I confirmed via connect.jeep.com @ the Assist line that I have an active data plan with AT&T. I did not test Internet availability earlier as both the service advisor and assist advisor believes it to be a software issue with my head unit. I did test hotspotting a few moments ago, but my...
The dealer confirmed that the app should be available. They could not figure out the issue today. They are going to research the issue further and reschedule when I can drop the Jeep off.
I was also escalated to L2 support via Jeep Assist. From there it was escalated to software developers...
Over the weekend, I found a fine print reference on a Chrysler ad regarding Alexa Built-in. It indicates that NAV is required. I do not have NAV.
I looked up a half-dozen dealers and viewed window stickers of at least that many Gladiators that lacked NAV and Alexa Built-In is listed as a...
I bought it new. LEDs were preferred, but not a deal breaker once I knew it was simple to remediate. Every Sport S with LEDs that I found within a reasonable distance lacked the tow package. Adding a receiver is easy enough, not so much the other tow package features.
Both needed adjustment. For both the headlights and fogs, I marked the halogen lines on the fence from 7’ out. After the LEDs were installed, I aligned them to match the halogen lines.
I also verified the headlight alignment by using this method...
I finished the converting to LEDs on the front of fhe 24 Sport S.

I also swapped out the silver bezels with gray bezels. I didn’t initially intend to go...
I also got the -12 recommendation from every vendor I spoke with. I ended up with a -6 offset as that was the only offset that Icon offered on the Rebound Pros.
I would have preferred positive offset, perhaps a +12. -6 is a little on the pokey side, but I really liked the Rebound Pros.
Wireless charging is less efficient than wired charging. Power dissipation during the charging process produces heat.
iPhones have built in thermal management to mitigate this issue.
I considered that a couple of weeks ago. My phone with case was too big to be practical for my tastes. I also wanted to see my phone’s screen.
I get minimal window blockage with the horizontal setup.
So far, not issues with direct sunlight.
I also mocked up a cigarette lighter adapter...
Consider the Garmon Constant Power setup. I can almost guarantee that it’s easier to extend the cables to the OBD II port than behind the cigarette lighter.
I’m running 295/70/17s on 3.73 gears. The tires are around 34 inches tall. I updated tire size with the JScan tool. I tracked my mileage starting from last Thursday to Monday afternoon. I traveled 1050, 400 on the interstate, 400 on back roads, and 250 miles around Pensacola, averaging 19.4...
