Link to the Remote system seems to be dead. Any update? Also, will this allow you to register with Uconnect to use the app on your phone?
It's a nice to have when it's 9 degrees or 90 degrees
Checked into this for my 2020 JL and the cost from the dealer is $899 (if you buy it from them). Dealers dont like to install aftermarket equipment, in fact most wont due to warranty liabilities. Viper makes a system that I am putting in my Jeep, It has auto start and motion detection when the top is off if you put your hand inside the barrier of the motion sensors, even has a tilt sensor ( if they were stealing your jeep and putting it on a truck as soon as the "attitude" changes the alarm goes off. I am not paying the F(&^%5 Dealer another penny. Everything they sell is triple the price.
Is it a viper alarm you're putting on ? On my JK I added alarm and it worked off the factory key fob on my JL I could not do that and I did not want to carry two key fobs so I went with EVT. It's a tracking device I can see where my Jeep is 24/7 within 5 feet and if my Jeep starts moving even a little bit without being started it notifies me and the monitoring company tell them it's moving which is probably on a tow truck because I tell him they steal most vehicles now they just hook up a tow truck and grab & go. I pay $150 a year and that's it if they break the window and notifies me but I looked at it like this. Now days when alarms go off no one cares it can go down the road with lights flashing alarm going off no one cares anymore. And if they tow your vehicle off and you don't know it 10 hours later when you wake up in the morning and your vehicles gone depending on where you live like in Texas like we do you can be in Mexico at least a minute it moves I know it inless they hotwire and they're going to have to open the door to do that and it will notify me for that too. some people say they can have it let the insurance pay me no thanks I've got too much invested in my Jeep I've got about $8,000 of it covered but not all of it and I don't want to start over by chiefs not barely two years old and like most people you fix a vehicle up to your liking and your character and that's how I feel. I don't want to start over now 5, 6 years from now if I still have it might be a different story but I will probably get rid of it in 5 years like I always do. I usually get a new vehicle every five years a used to be 3 when I was driving to the airport to work and put in 25 to 30,000 miles a year I would get rid of vehicle in 3 years cuz after 90,000 I wanted a new one. anyway on the viper system you're putting in are you going to have to carry an extra key fob for that feature?
Is this the one that you use through your phone? Does it have auto lock doors and remote engine start? This might be the other unit I was looking at. I just didnt want to pay $150 yr. But you are correct, no gives a shit if your car is beeping and honking anymore. Boy who cried wolf kind of thing...
). Thanks!
I live in Phoenix, I love the remote start. A lot more people are installing it or buying their cars that way down here. My Jeep was 135 F the other day when I had to quickly check something on the Tazer, so I didn't start it from the house. WOOOOWWWEEE There is a Pic on another thread about Jeep cooling. And then there is winter.....in the North of course.
