Lifted, new windscreen and problems resetting adaptive cruise control

[CrazyCooter]

I've been wondering about the calibration on mine since it's gone through many different springs, tires and now a windshield change. No doubt it's out because I get alerts when approaching an intersection where there is a vehicle on my left but we are both in our lanes.

One dealer never returned my call and one I have zero confidence in. I was just wondering if I could do it myself with AlfaOBD.

I'm also a member of a FB group of ADAS service professionals. There has been zero talk of Jeep products.......That must mean they aren't problematic like the GM and Subaru vehicles I read about all the time?

I found this, but it's probably not much help for you? https://www.vehicleservicepros.com/...-2020-jeep-gladiator-throws-an-adas-curveball

What was it like driving on those tiny wheels? It does look hilarious.

He had to feel every pavement joint he came upon, and bird crap made for a jolt.

Not that I've been able to find. It's apparently a protected area and a password is required and there has to be internet connection at the time to verify the password and vehicle.
The guy who did the 2nd windshield on my 2020 just before I traded had to take my truck up the road a mile to get internet with the tablet so he could get the password in and verified.

Once the process is started, you simply follow the directions on the screen and drive like it tells you do and it tells you when all done. Takes only minutes. No targets etc. There must be normal roads and streets with some traffic, intersections and so on, and decent weather (not raining, etc.)

I've been looking into it for over a year - so would definitely be interested if there was anything like AlfaOBD that could do it, but since it's an active/interactive screen and not "choices" from a menu, it's doubtful.

This is just a guess, but due to the safety aspects of modifying an automated driving system, I would assume they keep it locked down to avoid liability.

Not a bad guess.
Imagine some creep getting in and messing with it on your truck.......... could be catastrophic.
Or someone thinking "I can do this" when they screw up a simple tire change.....

I've had two windshields replaced now on my 2021 JTR with 2" Mopar lift and 35s.

The first time, the Safelite tech told me their system couldn't do it because of the modified height and told me it was important that I take it to the dealer. I called the dealer and they said "If you don't see error messages there isn't a problem", and "If you want to insist that we do it, it will be about 4-5 hours of labor". Thankfully everything was working, so I chose not to do anything. Safelite nagged me monthly about it for about 6 months though.

The second time I had the windshield replaced, the Safelite tech told me the same thing they said last time. But when I told them what happened with the dealer, they said "Yeah, if it's working I wouldn't worry about it.". It is, so I'm not.

4-5 hours labor? LOL, what a hoot - 5 minutes, maybe 10, once they are connected and logged in! That's it! Connect, if it's lifted, set the correct number in, and drive it. Any Jeep tech can do the whole thing start to finish in under 1 hour and that's if they are slow and have never done it before.
Safelite COULD do it even with modified height. You simply make sure the camera array is still level if necessary, and if the thing is lifted, there's a number you can change once logged in.
The guy who replaced my second glass just before trading says he does a lot of them and it's no big deal. He said because it's included in the cost, he gets the same either way, he may as well do mine just because. Oh, he was from an independent shop - that was like a Safelite contractor. If Safelite was busy or whatever, they contacted him and he did his thing. He truly knew his stuff, mine wasn't the first Jeep he'd had his hands on. He was very professional, the whole process was smooth and quick and he was careful.

I figured since it was all the same cost, and he obviously knew his stuff just from the questions he answered and his depth of knowledge, let him do it.

I'd say your safelite people don't know squat, and the dealer shop was trying to pull a fast one, or simply didn't want to do it so were giving you a stupid number knowing you'd go away rather than pay.

Yes, clearly they didn’t want to do it. It’s working fine, so I’m not concerned.

Exactly.
