Hidden/Buried features of the JT

[htremper]

Isn't that only on Rubicon - but for 99% here, yeah, they'll notice it.
Overland which was meant to be a family Jeep doesn't have those. That blew my mind - target people with a non-rock crawling version and you leave out the grocery getting features? I can see some of the other stuff but seems to me that my Jeep should have that and the others not.
I'd sure use them if mine had them.

If it is...I 100% agree...it’s super simple and super useful.

I have the 7inch radio and found out by accident that if you double tap the mute button your backup cam will display until you double tap it again to turn it off. Great feature for towing.

I tried this on my Sport S and it didn’t work, it would definitely be cool.

Tried this on my Sport S also, with 7-inch radio, did not work.

Hmmm. I’ll try to record a quick video to show what i do. Maybe I’m doing something different to get the camera to work.

this is a feature in the tazer, do you have one installed???

I didn’t know that. I do have a tazer installed because I switched my headlights to LEDs. That explains it and why it worked for my friend as well. Well shoot, thought I’d found something. LOL

I like how the ACC shows a 41 Willy's when it's pinging off the car in front of you.

Lol awesome gif!!!

I haven’t noticed it being electrical, I’ll try to pay more attention next time lol

Well we've noticed Casper a couple of times now - both when backing down our driveway. It seemed to be coming from the center just slightly behind us. The faster I went in reverse, the louder or more noticeable it became. It does it only when there's some speed involved. Slowly backing it into it's spot under my shop's lean-to doesn't do it, but backing quickly down our driveway does (when I say down, I mean down, it's got a fair slop to it and when I say up, it's very up hill to the road, about 115 feet or so)
My wife asked what's that sound. I told her "reverse" - and it reminded me very much of the gear sound my SX4 makes when backing it up - and reverse in that thing is a pretty high gear ratio, something akin to backing up in 2nd or higher. You can't back that little car slowly so it's pretty loud when backing up because the hypoid gears of a differential aren't cut for reverse - and the reverse gears in the Eagle's T5 transmission on a stick are straight cut - more noisy than the gears in most automatics.
Anyway, it very much reminds me of backing up my older cars and even a stick truck I used to own.

I have the remote proximity keyless system. Today I started my rig up and realized I forgot an important item inside. I hopped out, hit the button on the handle locking all the doors, ran inside and back out. Grabbed my handle and was back in my truck, ready to go.

not sure if this was a hidden feature but definitely cool.

That's the beauty of the proximity system. I only have to take the FOB out of my pocket to unlock the gas cap.

Your gas cap has a lock?

I have finally found a use for ACC

Thanks for sharing this.

You can buy an aftermarket Mopar gas cap that keys to your factory key

Mopar need to step up there game. No proximity gas cap? What the crap

I will say that I alway thought proximity locks where lame. Once I bought the JT with push button start I see the convenience of it. The only time I need to take the key out of my pocket is to unlock it. I would of bought this over the all weather group if I had the money for one or the other. I had no more money for my truck so I got neither.
