Hey @jmccorm! Been lurking on this thread and seeing your work, narrative, and inventive use of ChatGPT :)
I'd love to chip in, but might need a pointer or two getting started. I've now got a WiCAN attached to the driver-side OBD2 port, and I've managed to get SavvyCAN to talk to it over TCP...
It's time to upgrade the bumper, from the stock non-steel rubi bumpber. For the replacement I'm considering a stubby, mostly because the full-width version is out of stock, but I suppose the stubby is a tad lighter and looks a little cooler.
I'm offroad sometimes, but the ride is also a daily...
I decided to return my lights (30 day return window). I never got around to install or even took them out of the box.
Why return? It's clear to me there's a significant design, manufacturing, and/or quality control flaw here. I'm skeptical it's been rootcaused and fixed so quickly, especially...
You're absolutely right - disconnecting the ribbon cable inside (along with the antenna pigtails), in lieu of completely removing the daughtercard, would have the same effect. To the head unit, the modem is missing.
Aiye, I forgot to conduct that experiment :-( .. Once I had the dash open, I just went all the way.
It’s definitely be worth a try - would save you all the steps of disassembling the uconnect unit.
Ha! tbh hadn’t read this full thread yet and figured it had already been covered. Here’s the link: https://www.4xeforums.com/threads/i-removed-the-cellular-modem-from-my-4xe-followup-post.1067/
Happy to answer any questions (thoug, it’s pretty straightforward!)
I removed the cellular modem from my '21 JLUR yesterday. The process was simple and took about 30 minutes. Happy to write up more instructions, followed some found on another forum.
Fortunately — for now! — these devices are installed as a removable daughtercard, and the head units features...
I'm in the Truckee area & running stock KO2's on a 2021 Rubicon 4xe. If you see a Hydro rolling around town, feel free to say hi, it's probably me..
As it's my first season with the beast, I decided to go without dedicated snow tires this year to see how the stocks perform & whether I really...
Anyone with positive experiences yet? I've got my box sitting around waiting for install, I'm lazy and don't want to rip 'em out if there's a pervasive quality issue..
New member checking in! Just picked mine up and drove 'er across the country. Naturally I had to stop at Sand Hollow along the way :)
Overall everything's been great & very pleased with the color (selected sight unseen).
I am interested in these. Two questions I would like a clearer answer on:
Q1: Will these lights work with & in the same way as the factory-installed auto highbeam mode?
Q2: Do these lights function as daytime running lights in the same way as factory-installed LED lights?
2021 4xe. thank you!
Got it, thanks for that context on how it happens. I am accepting this wasn't malicious - just odd for a dealer so specialized in, well, picky internet people :-). I am resigned to ignoring it... guess I had to have something to complain about!
Yeah, I think they screwed up. Perhaps on autopilot for financed orders (aka they own the car) or something. At minimum - why not disclose?
What! I'm definitely complaining to them; even if it amounts to futile, cathartic venting & ends up all I do. They scratched crap into my brand new...
I placed a cash order from one of the well-known dealers on this forum.
To my dismay, upon delivery I discovered they have etched the windows with some sort of security name and code. While I was not charged for this, I also had no choice or consultation in the matter and of course cannot...
Came for the transportation advice, stayed for the unexpectedly sincere reflections on embracing solitude in a busy world. Thank you for the awesome nudges!
For all its popularity, the Recommended Dealers List "wiki" really could use a concise tabulation of experiences/reviews like this by dealer: Where have they differed?
eg Why choose Gupton over Mall of GA? Well, as a datapoint, Gupton honored sold price in <random but specific situation> where...
Ah, that's reassuring re open transport, and less cost that I was expecting. How did you find/select your carrier/broker? Wondering if I should ask the dealer or go it alone. thanks!
