Interesting. I wonder if that’s how the 8.4 inch is supposed to behave. Maybe the 8.4 inch draws more power, and given that the Sport Trim only has 2 USB ports, the last USB is programmed to be charge one? Just a thought.This is a known limitation on this upgrade. Mine behaves the same.
I used my Tazer JL to add offroad pages to my 8.4" screen. Went from a 7" to the 8.4" screen.just wondering anyone who did the 7 " to 8.4" have any luck activating the offroad pages if you had them on the instrument cluster already ? thanks
May I ask a couple of questions? What is your reason for wanting the wifi option? What do you plan to use the wifi for?I'm still debating on where the best place to buy an 8.4" would be. I have a Sahara JL, that has a 7" in it now with Sirius. I'd love to add an 8.4" and get TRavelink and then add the WIFI antenna to get the hotspot service. My jeep also has the Aux switches installed.
Theres some on ebay that are used units for around $1000. Or I could spend a little more and get one from one of the Mopar resellers. I'm trying to confirm that if I buy from the Mopar guys, will I be able to add in the WIFI antenna and get the hotspot? I'm not worried about Guardian.
Thats a valid question. I want to activate the ATT hotspot plan for the Jeep. I have a 4 year old and we had WiFi hotspot in our Tacoma through ATT and the prebuy plans are really cheap and keeps that data off our phone plans.May I ask a couple of questions?

we ended up using the WiFi more than I realized and we miss having it in this Jeep. having the hotspot just come on and be available on the ignition and be totally unlimited without affecting our phone plans or battery was convenient.
I wish we would have held out for a wrangler that had the 8.4 radio but we didn’t know the 7 inch didn’t have the same features.
Oh no. I’m kinda worried about that. I bought a new unit that came from a mopar parts wholesaler so it’s never been installed. I’m betting that the WiFi won’t work since the jeep isn’t coded for that option. I haven’t installed it yet, waiting on the lte antenna and cable to get here first. I’m also hoping to add travelink.Okay gotcha. I was able to get mine working. However it took multiple units to achieve it. I ended up with a radio that had previously activated and therefore had a mobile number associated with the radio. I have since turned it off. It just wasn't much of an added benefit for me in the long run. I added the lte antenna and everything. There are lots of aftermarket option to add this ability. Mobile hotspots from your carrier. Plus just the hotspot option on your own mobile phone. It took me months to find the right rep that would activate the service for me because it was not associated with my vin.
I agree, the Wifi option is really nice with kids (I have a 1yo, 3yo and 5yo) and my raptor had it.Thats a valid question. I want to activate the ATT hotspot plan for the Jeep.

I am currently trying to figure out how to get the sales code for mine as well. I purchased my 8.4" screen from "All Mopar Part"Does anyone know the sales codes I need to ask a dealer to flash to the jeep to add the WiFi option and possibly travel link?
I’ll search around the local dealers and ask them if they will do this for me.

Will update you on if I am able to get it from them.
I bought radios off of the forums. Dealers are no help at all.Oh no. I’m kinda worried about that. I bought a new unit that came from a mopar parts wholesaler so it’s never been installed.

did you work with a dealer to get the WiFi option activated or att or both?
I have the sales code at it at one point I can’t Remember what it was now. But it did not help in activating the Wi-Fi service whatsoeverIf I find out the sales codes we'll need, I'll be sure to share them here as well, just in case one of us comes up lucky before the other!
Was the dealership able connect your radio to your VIN with the sales code? Thats what Im trying to do so I can update it OTA.I bought radios off of the forums. Dealers are no help at all.
