Then you should have temp
Update: I DO have a temp! But it only shows on the Home screen when it is in split screen mode with the "Comfort" widget. It does not show if it's full sized or on the dedicated page.
I also don't think it actually measures interior temp. Seems to just be a reference in 3.9 degree increments (20 notches from 32 to 100)

I just took one of my hood switches out of the vertical mount plate and that was the end of auto stop. The book says it won’t function with the hood open Leaving in max ac setting will do it too as well as other adjustments to climate control

My Mojave turns if off automatically. Since I've owned the Jeep, I almost always run the AC, I live in Scottsdale, very hot here in summer. But I sometimes forget to press the PITA off. I noticed my Mojave does not turn turn engine off. It prompted me to see if there was a factory setting I hit. I was excited about this possibility! But what I found was some verbiage something about Start/Stop disabled because of AC demand. Is it a Mojave thing, part of the better cooling for Desert OR do all jeeps shut it off when AC is running?

It's all of them.
Nothing special or different about the Mojave in that respect.

It will say "Stop/start not ready, cabin heating or cooling" or words to that effect.
I run the thing in HVAC auto mode all the time and once the cabin reaches the temp I set, even in AC mode, ESS works.

ESS isn't disabled with AC is on, only when your chosen temperature isn't reached. Once it's cooled down, AC or not, ESS will work (max AC seems to defeat that)

If you set it to 70 and the thing thinks the cabin temp is 73, ESS won't work but once it gets down to 70 degrees in the cabin, ESS will work again even with AC on.
If it's REALLY hot, it might have trouble reaching that temp and you may not see it shut the engine off.

Makes sense, I hope they'll do away with this nonsense. In the meanwhile, I'll push that little button in, several times a day, as a stark reminder.... !!!

It’s a shame that you can’t just have it off all the time since it doesn’t do anything constructive.

If you lived here, you'd be begging for one...
The air was brown today - the sun hazy. Fall harvest. Everything covered with thick layers of dust. It was weird driving home from Iowa City this evening and seeing all of the hazy sky and the air above fields all brown.
I'll need to check my filters this weekend.
It's bad (but we've returned to drought again)

I was totally thankful mine has a cabin filter. As it is, there's a layer of dust all over the inside from last weekend being near bean fields being harvested with the windows down just a tiny bit.
We don't get that kind of dust around here usually, but sometimes. Especially if stuck in a line of rigs on forest dirt roads. The clouds of pollen, the ones where your rig goes from Grey when you park it to yellow the next morning. Image that in your vents.
Ya, I like cabin air filters. Personally I get the charcoal infused ones.

Breathe only the air coming out of dash vents?
Seriously, around here, doors and tops are back on by harvest.
