Someday I may be able to find a pair I can afford!
Sounds like my Subaru. I'll hit the button to change from radio to Bluetooth and get halfway down the block before it thinks about changing.
At least you saved good money not getting the "upgraded" radio!
My 8.2 unit has to be unpaired and re-paired once in a while and if I get a new text it won't give me so much as an alert. Phone calls come through but it keeps wanting to update/grab contacts from my phone as if it's never seen my phone before. So I remove my phone and pair it again and it's fine for a few weeks or months.
It would appear, that the 5" radio is history. Base Sport models now come w/ the 7" unit.
I had a wrangler with the 5.0 once and I will never buy another Jeep. Actually I agree, I have the 8.4 now and even though I like it more than the 5.0 I would rather spend the bucks on something else, I'm fine with my cell phone for everything I need.
Shock of shocks. Who didn't see that coming.......
That 5" radio was an old dog though. Our 2018 compass had that radio. It's time for them to kill it. It's basically an entire generation behind technologically. I'm surprised they aren't replacing it with another small screen, though.
My 5" is basically decent. Occasionally laggy at startup but that's the exception and not major. But the clock does lose time like it's got a hole in it. This TSB when I look it up seems to list JL but not Gladiator (I know that they are basically the same esp. as far as radio and related wiring) - has anyone succeeded in getting a dealer to perform this TSB for a Gladiator? Thanks!
