I started a thread about this when I read the news about GM and other manufacturers selling data to insurance companies. I don't know and don't care whether or not Stellantis is actively taking part in that practice. If they can, and evidently at least one other company has tried, I suspect they...

Factory drag link was worn at 29K-30K miles for me. Had 39s, though. Since down-sized to 35s. Not so bad to change drag link yourself but will want/need an alignment after

I just finished disconnecting the 4G module on the radio head unit. It's way easier than disconnecting both the antenna, and as someone else mentioned in this thread, eliminates the communication capabilities at the source. I used this thread for reference (How to: Disable uConnect 8.4 Cellular...

I was reflecting on why I disliked that my car had this functionality so much -- beyond that it's being used against drivers. My phone and laptop spy on me to some degree but I accept that. I take certain actions against it, adblocks, AdNauseam, going through the motions of turning off...

Only thing I'd add is a cheap OBD2 code reader. I keep one in my glovebox. Was out with some friends this December and got a CEL. Pulled off to the side, plugged in, and saw it was some EVAP code I could ignore. Funny enough, code never came back after that. I can't stand having a light on my...

Looks like I'll be messing around in that area to get one of the two LTE antenna anyways. Thank you for sharing this, I'll be looking into it, too. I have a 2020 so I'm not sure how much more things have advanced since that year. Absolutely miserable. Glad it saved your life. This does seem...

I absolutely do not doubt that. I have been fairly active as a lurker and there are several members here whose opinions I respect and whose insight I value. Many are way older than me. Maybe I'm just making an incorrect assumption, but after getting frustrated with how much tech-infused...

Had a '03 Nissan Z whose engine I totaled doing an oil change (double gasket on the filter, I'm an idiot, I know -- did it right for years, then got sloppy. Lesson learned a little late lol). I thought, what the heck. At least I can trust a new-ish car to start every day. Most advanced thing...

I have a week off for spring break. Seems like a good time to see if a) I can get to it and b) what happens if it's gone. If I knew more about how antenna work I'd consider the foil idea, although I'm finding it really funny how crazy it will seem to start wrapping stuff in foil. Maybe I am...

Oh boy.. more fuel for this rabbit hole I keep going down. Thanks for sharing

I hope yet becomes never. The thought of going into limp mode over connectivity is ridiculous, especially in a Jeep of all vehicles. It would be a shame to lose off-road pages -- I literally just sold my Tazer within the last month! lol Unfortunate timing aside, thanks for the heads up. I'll...

I started looking through the repair information that was made available here yesterday. It sounds like what you're saying coincides with the LTE1 antenna. It looks like there's also another one. I'm curious as to what stops working once/if these are disconnected.

I just checked and I do have the 8.4" Uconnect, so it's still something I'd like to address. I doubt I'll be the only one with this concern, so hopefully the topic picks up positive traction

I did check for previous threads but thought the answers were dismissive at best. They were from around 2021, though, if memory serves. I thought the recent articles discussing the topic, and the allegations insurance rates are climbing therefore, were enough reason to bring the topic back up...

I haven't reached the level of tin-foil hats yet, and I really hope to avoid it. I know some data will always be given up. I can't detach myself from my phone and computers. But unlike those, I can modify my car and that's why I posted the question. If I can do something about it then I'd like...

I was reading lately about how some manufacturers have "features" that share driving information to a data broker who in turn sells it to insurance companies who in turn use it against individuals. I'm not a fan of this business model. I know that Jeep/FCA/Stellantis were not listed as the...

The one linked by user Zero_Accel (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07QY8JVT3) is the same one I purchased. Consider what user Rahkmalla mentioned about the cylinder not being waterproof and how it might corrode/rust with salt. When I made my decision, I made it knowing I live in sunny South...

+1 on just using the JL lock. I went with the JL Bolt product for my 2020 JTR. The rivet holes line up perfectly. The lock comes with a rubber cover (it's a bit larger than the key slot) and that's what makes it so that you have to trim the grill. Someone pointed out that the door locks don't...

Selling Tazer JL Mini that just came off my 2020 JT. It's unmarried (confirmed via Tazer software on screenshot). Has worked perfectly for me with no issues, but I don't use its live features and got other settings flashed. It's redundant for me now. Asking $235, will include unit and USB cable.

That's a relief to hear! It doesn't cause any damage to spin these around by hand? Or in the wrong direction while the other half is stationary? I assume if it can take the forces of driving around it can take whatever my meager arm can crank, but I've come to accept there's always some small...
