Check the poll, sleuth. Now write me a giant wall of text on why it doesn't count.

Yes.

Why is that so hard to understand by purported professionals?

All I'm saying is let people decide for themselves. Doesn't cost you a thing.

Go to mopar.com, click Start Engine, then go outside and shut your engine off. Most of us are concerned and somehow that's an issue for you.

You're welcome to define "connected to the internet" however you like but if I can start the engine and unlock the doors on mopar.com then for me it's connected to and can be controlled from the internet. Let's find out. According to the poll you're part of a (VERY vocal) minority. It's...

Steve Jobs did not design the Uconnect but if he did it would be able to go offline.

If I can go to mopar.com and unlock my Jeep then it's connected to the internet. I don't care what the first hop does. As for catering to the masses, looks like the poll says most people are in favor of deciding for themselves.

By definition it's confusing when people don't agree with you. In my opinion the key to getting out of this giant mess we find ourselves in is to stop forcing our ideas / points of view / state of mind on others. I say let people decide for themselves. Like networking in your Jeep? Turn it...

Lots of good even when it's network non-communicative if you think about it. What good is your Jeep if it's network non-communicative. Also lots.

Not off, just non-communicative.

Exactly right. It's easy to turn off communications on your phone and computer but not on your Jeep.

If you haven't audited the network it's impossible to say exactly how it does and does not work from one end to the other in every situation. Admittedly it would have been better for me to specify "with wireless transmissions" instead of "over the internet".

I'm talking about an on/off switch. Not a permanent "never going back online forever" switch.

Just added a poll. Should appear above. I expect this will demonstrate that there isn't enough demand for Jeep to implement this.

This won't change anyone's mind but in case it's interesting: https://www.economist.com/the-world-ahead/2020/11/17/a-murderous-cyber-attack-is-only-a-matter-of-time "There may be simpler means of cyber-homicide. Vehicles—unlike centrifuges or transformers—tend to have highly breakable humans...

There are 3 points made in that photo of the manual. Nowhere does it say the 1st point only applies within the context of the 2nd. Sorry.

Hoping I don't do business where you work.

If not using it would mitigate the danger then I never would have started this thread. My point as I've said is that we should have the choice to be vulnerable to this or not. But if no one demands that choice then it won't be made available to us and judging from this thread there is not...

Whatever fellas. Jeep tells you it's dangerous and could result in "serious injury or death" right in the manual and you still think it should be rammed down everyone's throat. Each to their own.
