...and I'll have to keep an eye out for this new Telematics Box Module. From what I've read, that shows up only with the UConnect 5, which apparently requires the upgraded option with the 10.1 or 12-inch screen, so I probably don't have one in my 8.4-inch system. Worth checking though...

Got it. The UConnect system is probably as secure as any other connected device out there. I doubt I have that second dealer-installed system, but if I do, I'm sure I'll come across it when I install my trailer brake controller. To be clear, I'm not that worried about the practical aspects of...

I understand, and I respect the official explanations. I suspect I'm talking with someone who has more documentation available than I have seen. I'm not claiming any damages, or threatening any suits. I'm not recommending that anyone should do as I have done. The distinction between a direct...

Unfortunately the results of the above experiment are not satisfactory at this point. Although the climate controls work fine, and no errors came up on the screen, or on the dash, or anywhere, the radio and XM aren't quite right. The sound will come on for a second or so when I touch the screen...

Hi, Interesting thread. I just bought a 2021 Grand Cherokee and I'm going through the process of disconnecting it from the internet. A few points regarding what I've read here so far: 1. Disconnecting the antennas in back of the radio will not stop the 4G modem from hooking up to the cellular...
