Generally, wired is preferred. It is the same way on my Alpine X409. I have never observed a wireless Carplay working well. It is generally a hit or miss.

From your description, it is likely the radio head has gone south.

That is likely on the FCA Jeep website for owners. Plugin your VIN and hopefully it will list an update for the radio.

There is a uconnect site that you can give a shot to see if there is an update for it. You will need the radio serial number for the updates if one is available. Uconnect for Jeep

One of the reasons I replaced my stock head unit with an Alpine X409. It has been glitch-free since. I believe the vibration from the Jeep has something to do with it, and the radio head just was not engineered enough to withstand it.

Planning my initial trip to Tennesse in the Smokies. There are some Boondocking sites I want to try up there where motorhomes and big 5th wheels fear to tread.

Will that generate DTC's that could take you to a dealer? While reprogramming is an opti0on, I would be worried about having the reprogramming deleted by the dealer.

These are the switches I was talking about that are for my Electric Locking Differentials. (Both activated) to show the detail. They will normally remain unlit until activation takes place. The switches have safeties to prevent accidental activation. They are located on the A-Pillar.

Welcome to the site.

Okay, I did my sound system upgrade on my 2018 JK, and I used the Alpine X409 sound system. It is fully water-resistant. You have to buy the optional Sirius XM module to get Sirius, (about $35-50) dependant where you get it. I also put in an Alpine Subwoofer System too. Note the sound system I...

A 2" lift is pushing it for the 37", so you may need a 4" inch lift. Then there are the gear ratios of the Jeep differentials. You will need to run the VIN to determine the ratio currently within the pumpkins. Likely 3.21s. You will need to but new diffs in, gear ratios for you could run-up to...

You will need everything, Nothing from the 2in lift will work with the 4in lift.

Check to see if there are any codes saved in the computer. If a code is generated, it will not necessarily trigger the check engine light. I would look at the throttle control solenoid, as many vehicles have the throttle by wire. It sounds a bit nutty, but there is the possibility of that happening.

With everything out the door including taxes, $15,000 for the 2016 model. The trailers really hold their value and if you have any additions over time that will enhance things.

You do know that in order to put in new headlight assemblies on the Renegade that you have to remove the front bumper, drop the grill and then pull the old units out and mount the new units into that grill then put everything back together. The headlight modules just do not slide out as they do...

Did you put 37's on it? Yeah, the gear ratios are really sinking you. I went through a similar process while doing upgrades on the JK I have. The JK I have had original 3.21's and so I dropped in 4.56 Electric Lockers since I was upgrading for a build that would be for towing RV Trailer. (You...

Very nice ride. Is the idea to change the size of the wheels going to affect your differences in gear ratios for example?

Nope, they will not fit. I have a Renegade and Wrangler, both 2018's. The aftermarket is pretty pi$$ poor at the moment, and the only LED's are the sadly, poorly made Chinese junk that upsets the Light Bulb Alert System. You cannot even replace the tag light without setting the thing off. While...

House paid off years ago, inherited from mother when her death occurred, saw no reason to move. Investments despite the fears of the virus currently do well, picking up some steals and deals with the downturn. Picked up a stock that was $1,000 or so at market value before the $hit was in the...

Chris, I side with you regarding the multi-function switch and considering the age of the Jeep he has it is likely worn out. Those can be replaced, and one should start with the switch first to see if that is the culprit. One should consider that some multi-function switchers operate in...
