Alexa...start the Wrangler.

The Amazon Echo has a Uconnect skill that works with the 2018 Cherokee. Does anyone know if this should work with the JL?

That's pretty freaking cool. Too bad I have a manual. It would be kind of neat to be able to tell it to lock or unlock the doors, though.

Yeah, but 99% chance they won't know how to drive a manua transmission. Not worried.

No, that is a special package on certain Cherokees only.

On the uconnect site it saus jl wrangler comparible with siriusxm guardian.. dont know about alexa im assuming its the same thing since alexa is integrated to open the app and turning it on from your phone.

It's coming to the JL later this year. This is a quote from a Jeep press release:

First launched on the 2018 Jeep Cherokee, Jeep vehicles continue to enhance the owner connection with the integration of the Jeep skill for Amazon Alexa. Alexa is Amazon’s voice service and is behind devices such as the Amazon Echo, Echo Dot and Echo Show. Alexa provides a set of capabilities referred to as skills, which enable customers to make voice-activated requests.

Jeep skill responds to a multitude of voice commands via Alexa. The menu of commands can start the vehicle’s engine, lock and unlock doors, send navigation instructions to the vehicle, plus check fuel and tire pressure levels.

To initiate the Jeep skill for Amazon Alexa, owners must register with SiriusXM Guardian connected services, then search for and enable the Jeep skill in the skills store in the Alexa app. Once the customer’s SiriusXM Guardian and Amazon accounts are linked, customers can ask any Alexa device to open the Jeep skill.

Jeep skill for Amazon Alexa in Amazon Echo devices will be made available for the all-new Jeep Wrangler mid-2018 for users to explore.

Thanks for the post!

Hmmm...wonder if the early wranglers being shipped now will be able to be updated or if it will only be available on the mid year and newer models.

Sounds like you need to keep a SiriusXM subscription to keep it active.

Some cool remote features with smart devices but many will not like the insurance information features (hopefully a feature we can opt in or out of).

The Adventure reality app is an interesting take on the build tool in an augmented reality format. And you don't have to use alexa. You can start your jeep with your apple watch.

Correct.
