I purposefully did NOT want them and ordered without them.
My reasons:
Cost
Adding the safety packages puts the big box on your rear view mirror. I don't have the big box, and it's quite nice.
More electronics running to doors which are disabled anyway when I remove doors. Probably going...
I elaborated on this later in the thread. The user interface INSIDE the Jeep is great. That's not what I'm referring to.
Me and many others are in a battle with FCA over all the features where "you" can "connect" with the Jeep, outside the Jeep. Smart phone app, mopar.com, and smart home...
Welcome.
Keep us posted on progress or any information you find out that can be helpful. Seems like this is impacting a lot of people on this forum.
One more thing I did was contact the android app developer about the missing features. Haven't heard a peep from them.
Everyone that has these...
I'm still shocked and amazed at the power of youtube content to help us do these things. The first time I completely gutted a vehicle's interior was I think 2001-2002. All Haynes Manual and no educational content about what I was doing except for Bill Nye and Mr. Wizard in my back pocket.
At...
Exactly. I think I'm confusing people with my "U Connect" complaints because the people who just use the truck by itself think the system works great. But Jeep tried to get cute and come up with a fancy name and logo for their system, but it has strong implications to all the smart phone and...
Check out my thread on Uconnect. I have issues with the system. No Nav though. But in my thread, there are some App features you need to try, especially while you have the free trials for SiriusXM Guardian.
Once you get all the accounts setup, like Mopar.com, Guardian, and Uconnect...
Holy cow. Those must be some strong cables. It's not the static weight I'm worried about. it's the momentum of force going over the slightest bump. LOL
I love the simplicity of this mirror setup. I've seen them before and it's at the top of my list for mirror purchase next spring. However, I don't understand what stops them from just pivoting away from you when you put your foot on the rest. Can you explain how it is secured from turning in...
Maybe my opinion on it needs to separated into two categories. The info screen itself is actually not bad at all. I like ability to customize the info behind the steering wheel. I thought that giving us the ability to choose what info is displayed in those 3 positions at the top is really...
I would be happy with a Uconnect system that actually works. That software is dogsh**.
2022, It needs to connect to your home wifi and provide an update on status whenever requested, without a 4G subscription, without a 3rd party involved like Sirius.
Currently, you ask "hey google, ask Jeep...
I'm in the exact same boat this year and I'm notoriously difficult for Christmas because I just never want or need anything. Now this year is easy. All Jeep stuff.
I kept my list cheap, especially for the wife. Spending $50k was quite enough. Lol.

Christmas spirit for my new toy:
I bought a couple cheap 150w inverters. Wired one up front to Aux switch. Then wired one in the bed stealing power from the 7 pin trailer plug. I used pins 5 and 7 so they only come on with the running lights. I'm also playing it safe with 15 amp fuses. Got...
I made my own tap because I don't have a lot. I managed to find some metric fine thread screws in my screw bins. This screw came from left overs from wall hanging TVs. VESA mount TV wall hanging is all metric and normally come with black screws.
First I tapered the tip on a bench grinder...
Now I'm curious. I'm still new with my Gladiator, but there have been moments where I frantically grab my emergency brake to make sure it's off. Pulling out of my driveway, I sometimes feel like there is a drag. Also driving around my neighborhood, I normally speed up to 20 MPH and then slow...
I'm having a related issue in 3 places:
UConnect App on my Android phone is missing the "Info" tab and the "Location" tab. All I have is "Remote" features that DO actually work.
Mopar.com Dashboard Vehicle Health reports and any information about gas tank or tire pressure is missing. The...
I'm not up to date on tech but I did custom systems 20 years ago. Besides the screens, and digital media, not a whole lot of changes with audio over the years.
The rules back then are still applicable today. You can only take audio quality so far in a vehicle by tackling the system itself...
I bought the Jeep brand rubber mats with the drain hole. They work nicely so far. I didn't have any issues with the drain hole at all. It lined up fine and seated correctly.
The rear mats are split into two halves and the connection between them is a little wonky but it's honestly just fine...
When I was young and stupid, I dropped my Pathfinder while working on the brakes. Wheel off, on a bottle jack only. I cranked on a bolt, and pushed the truck right off the jack. Luckily it happened slowly enough where I could jump out of the way.
These type of stories hopefully make the next...
