Cool features or add-ons that are of no value to you.

The useless item is the bag to hold the freedom panels when i remove them. Way to bulky to carry around leave it at home and throw towels or a blanket around them if i remove them somewhere besides home.
All i could think of when the Bulletpoint mount came up the manager where i bought my Mojave said that was a must have to mount your phone, navigator, tablet and go pro where you can see them. I bought a $15 over the center console by the shifter plastic thing with a pocket for each front seat to put my phone in.

I put my freedom panel bag in the attic the week I got the truck. That was four years ago. It's still up there.

Love my Bulletpoint mounts, though.

Hey I have one of those! No idea if it was $15 or not. It was in the truck when I bought it. It’s useful to keep a can of Grizzly and my glasses that the dmv says I no longer need in. That’s all I’ve found that fits well in it so far.

Off road cruise - well and truly a gimmick in my opinion, especially so when one has an automatic transmission. Basic off road driving skills makes this pointless, and relying on this IMO will only delay gaining those basic skills for those trying to learn.

I used it as HDC for the first time last month and wasn't really a fan. I have the skills already but it was worth giving it a shot.

Auto mode on the HVAC system - my main complaint is how it changes the fan speed too much and too soon. Manually selecting the fan speed and mode door positions works better for me.

Yup. Jeep auto HVAC is as useless as a doorknob on a tree. There's not enough insulation in the cabins of Wranglers and Gladiators to get it to function properly- and not run the fan at full speed. In her Bronco Sport and my old e46 it works remarkably well.

Auto Park - nanny state stuff, which as a whole, I generally dislike. IMO, keep your parking brake adjusted and set it any time you leave the engine running and get out of the vehicle.

Although I agree, there is a reason: Up until the actor who was killed by his Grand Cherokee rolling over him when he thought it was parked, there had been several hundred similar incidents. Jeep close to bake the safety feature in likely to avoid unnecessary legal exposure.

I guess it's unfair to call it nanny state stuff since it was actually FCA that came up with the idea, though it does still fit the typical "One person shit their pants so now everybody has to wear diapers" type kneejerk reaction. That aside, I was aware of the reasoning behind the institution of auto park but disagree with that solution being necessary. It's my belief that the real fix for the problem, and one that they did get around to doing, was to ditch the piss poor automatic transmission shifter design used in the Grand Cherokee at the time which didn't give a very positive indication of the current range/mode selected... that, and if people would have used a little common sense and set their parking brake before getting out with the engine running the entire issue would have been avoided.

I will say that coming from a ‘06 Silverado with manual everything (including manual transmission and transfer case) it has pissed me off when I am backing with the door open and it slams
It into park. I also hate the horn when closing the door.
