Mine let me change it but there is no Gladiator icon to select. Only Jeeps in there are a green Wrangler and a white GC. Total missed opportunity, but better than not being able to change it at all. Here's hoping for a UConnect update.
Every time I see the recirculate button I feel the same way... even a little sticker to put over it...

Below the big center icon, towards the bottom of the screen where it says "Blue Arrow" on either side of that there are arrows.
Do they do anything for you? It worked for me.
On mine they change it amongst a couple like different color arrows, Wrangler, and Compass (I think it was).
I scrolled through them and went back to the blue arrow as it was the easiest to read.
Yea they are grayed out and don’t change anything.
I looked, you're right.
mine has 5:

Odd. Mine says 1 item available and if I tap the buttons I get that error sound like I did something wrong :(

It’s ok, I’m sure there will be an update soon with additional icons - or someone may have found a way to load some. I’ll look around the internets tonight...

For what it's worth, I tried to change it earlier in the week and nothing else was there aside from the blue arrow. Now I have the 5 options. Maybe there is a background sync that needs to happen. Just speculating. I have no clue what I would've done to trigger it so yeah.

Ohh. That's very interesting. Did you change any other settings? I wonder if other settings have something to do with it - like maybe setting a Home location or something like that.

I’ve definitely tweaked a lot of the settings. I wonder if only certain map appearances allow custom icons? Just brainstorming.

When this first got posted I did play around with some settings, 2D, 3D, and some other stuff - and it wouldn't show at all.
I'll try setting a home location. If you get a chance, send me some pictures of your Nav Settings. I find it interesting that it wasn't working for you and then it started to work, that does point to it being some setting somewhere, or possibly some software bug/glitch.

I’ve messed around some more with settings, still nothing... but, I had an epiphany! :idea:

I wonder if it’s the Tazer JL Mini... one of its features is that it allows input into the nav even while driving. There is a disclaimer that having that enabled can cause the Uconnect to crash unexpectedly. But, it was enabled by default. I will try disabling it and see if it has any effect.

No, I don't have the Tazer Mini yet and I still have only one icon. I just activated Sirius Guardian and the WiFi hotspot trials, so maybe UConnect will update its software/firmware by itself? If not, I am going to look on how to update the UConnect software. I am sure JP1 has an updated version of the software - but there are many layers not just UConnect software but we need to update the Navigation app software.

I tried updating - and there was no update available. That was inputting my VIN into the uconnect update site. You might be into something with the WiFi hotspot trial. I did just get that email also. I setup guardian right when I took delivery, so that hasn’t done anything.

Only one icon here - Blue Triangle. Don’t have the tire pressure app either. Also have had pages show up and then disappear on the U Apps screen. No rhyme or reason.

Blue triangle only. But do have tire pressure app. You do have to turn on in setting. Question about GPS, does anyone have a bread crumb feature when traveling?
