Help! Please confirm this isn't required for uConnect

[KX L]

@ShadowsPapa and all you other smart guys out there----especially if anyone is a current Jeep mechanic at a dealership.

Getting ready to hook up a JScan and found this near the OBDII plug in. I assume it's a GPS tracker but it definitely wasn't on my Jeep before but suddenly is. I've paid for UConnect service every year for the auto insurance discount and am 99% sure it isn't required for uconnect. Can anyone confirm?

I never agreed to it and am assuming the dealership put it in last time I was in for a warranty issue and installing new tires on my 2022 JT.

What I did do a month prior was buy the most comprehensive extended Mopar warranty from the dealership. Rereading the warranty it clearly states it won't honor it if there is extreme on/off road use. At the time I assumed they would determine misuse from the onboard computers that are part of the engine/vehicle management system in every vehicle.

Obviously I'm going to have a talk with the dealership on why I wasn't notified and what happens when I take it off. I drive 80mph regularly just to keep with the flow of traffic---concerned a dealership will claim that's extreme driving if I ever need engine work.

Has anyone else found this on their Jeep---it's not the usual gps tracker mopar dealers use.

Are you talking about the LED drivers side foot well light? Or did you upload the wrong pic?

That’s the footwell light

Not required for uConnect. Yank it and let the dealership know you're on to their games!

Tracking devices have a label on them showing the FCC info and IMEI number.

How embarrassing. That's exactly what it is. So glad I asked you guys first before going to the dealership and looking like a total idiot---I'd much rather look like one here . Love this forum.

What's more embarrassing is I've been under there numerous times; installing rock slider on/off switch, armorlite flooring, running wires for other devices. I found it when I was trying to install my security bypass cable to install JScan.

Again my thanks.

You can get insurance discount for having Uconnect?

You can get a discount for the Forward Collision Warning system. It depends on the insurance company. Some apply the discount automatically when they enter the VIN and it shows the safety features the vehicle is equipped with.

That's better than what was found on my Gladiator. I purchased my 2023 Gladiator new at Southern CDJR in Norfolk, Virginia. When I went to hook up my cables for Jscan I found LoJack had been put on mine.
