I tried a thumb drive... it wouldn't recognize it.... what's your trick?
Just have lots of Mp3 files backed up on a thumb drive. I don't think Aa4? From I phone will work. That might be a problem....

The 8.4" Radio w/Premium Audio Group has HD Radio. FWIW I scanned for FM stations sitting in my garage, was amazed at the quantity of stations and quality of signal. This is with the factory antenna. Also I am 45 mile line of sight from the big city.

I have issues with FM radio every once in awhile. It sounds like itā€™s a reception issue, and itā€™s completely random and only occurs when I start the Jeep. The fix is to turn the radio to AM and then go back to FM and it completely fixes it for me. Reception it back to normal and volume level increases. I probably should take it to a dealer to get it checked out, but Iā€™m afraid they will just mess something else up. So I can live with hitting one other button to fix it.

Every spring when I remove the cover and back my road car out of the garage I am surprised the satellite radio still works. The free trial has been up for 3 years now. Some say it is because it is garaged and driven so infrequently.
Truth is I wouldnā€™t miss the satellite radio if it stopped tomorrow. Too many commercials, too many repeats and too shallow of a selection. Many better choices out there.

Hi, I'm sorry to hear this. Please let me know if you plan on visiting a dealership for this concern. I would be happy to open a case for you.
