Red G8R

Sorry for the inconvenience. It’s my Samsung phone’s fault. Problem solved.

My uconnect is automatically answering my cell calls. Anyway of stopping this. It never did this before.

Looked like an untrained person used a screw driver to pry off the trim. I'm sure I could have done better myself.

Finally had the radio unit replaced last week and working well. Unfortunately the installer damaged the trim which they have agreed to replace. It means another visit.

My replacement unit is on order but still no news of its arrival as yet and it's been 3 weeks today.

My bad. I was in a 2015 Jeep GC this morning and the unit is different.

Well, I took the Journey in yesterday and it needs a new Nav unit. Should take about two weeks to arrive. The service advisor told me he had another vehicle in with the same problem.

I'm also on the Jeep WK2 forum and did not find any threads on this. The Grand Cherokee has the same unit.

Mine just failed yesterday. I guess I'm off to the dealer.

I can't confirm that but then why would Curt have two wiring harnesses, one specific for LED cars.

Because LED equipped vehicles don't have enough power going though the wires to the back lights (LED). Curt has two wiring harness, one for and without LED tail lights.

I had mine activated for free because I told them I've been trying since delivery. I also went through the dealer's GM. Thanks again to Journeyman 425.

I see that my car has the connector by the spare tire. I also know it has the oil cooler because it's standard with the 3.6 L. So I guess I would need to buy the OEM connector and have the car flashed. Any idea what that would cost? Alternatively, the Curt harness is cheap and I read on another thread that the power wire could be spliced onto the red wire of the connector near the spare tire instead of running it to the engine bay. But is that connector "hot" without being flashed?

Good to know. I forgot about that feature.

Thanks for the advice. I will look and see if that connector is present. I would prefer to go the OEM route unless it's too costly. As for aftermarket installation of the hitch, I couldn't be more pleased on how mine went. I had a Curt Hitch installed at Perine Hitch in south Miami which is a small shop run by the owner. He did the installation himself, gave me a chair to sit and watch him use a custom rig to support and lift the hitch in place. He was done in 25 minutes and then invited me to come up close to inspect the job done. I was very impressed.
