First time Jeep owner here, and a lot of the mentions already cover things that I really enjoy; key fob/iPhone holder, 3x blinker mode, and all the little easter egg icons throughout to name a few. The heat shrink and splicing kit comes with the Aux package, which if ordered on the car comes with the towing package (this can be ordered alone later).

One thing that I'm really going to like is the uConnect system. I mtn bike a lot and on quick trips or DH runs I won't ride with a backpack so no good pockets for keys/phone but I always have my Apple watch on me. uConnect app lets me unlock the Jeep from my wrist so I can easily leave keys/phone in the car instead of hiding the key fob onto of the rear wheel (previous car was lowered and wheel was tucked in).

I don't have a Rubi so no molle straps for me, except for the rear gate. Attached the included tool kit there until I purchase the fold down camp table.

Finally, absolutely love the driver screen, it's many displays, and it's startup video (I apologize for the Instagram vid, I wasn't able to upload a video file here):

Man you just made me reconsider getting an Apple watch lol
I wish the design was a bit more « beefy » ! It looked stupid on my big wrists lol
Gotta see if my Fossil Android watch has that function or not :)

Does this feature only comes with the 8.4 upgraded infotainment systems? Is it called "SiriusXM Guardian"?
I have the 7'', and can not find this feature. I am not able to signup at moparconnect (https://activate.moparconnect.net/). It kept saying "VIN not found in trumgr". Anyone else have this issue?
Maybe it doesn't come with the 7'', could someone please confirm?

Not positive but I think I read it’s only for the upgraded infotainment. Kinda makes me cry that I didn’t upgrade! :facepalm:

That’s definitely better :)
Used to have a few watches, so I like the fact that my Fossil looks like an actual « more manly » watch, and also that I can get as many styles of straps as I want (I have 4 right now lol)

Thank you for confirming. Yea, I was a bit shacked by the sticker price when it was first released. So I went with minimal options. After seeing a lot of them in person now, I do regret a bit.

I don't think that Android has a Uconnect watch app. I've searched, but not exhaustively so. Anyone seen it?

Yeah, pretty similar. Decided to go with Fossil as they’re a watch maker, and loved the ability of getting many different wrist bands for it :)
