My JL Rubicon did not come with the factory AUX Switch and currently looking for options to install it locally (Melbourne). Long story short, my original factory order had the AUX switch, but due to my dealer going bust (Essendon Jeep) and messing up my order - waited 9 months to find out they are closing shop along with my deposit!
Found an alternative JLUR (someone that did not take his/her delivery-Thank You!), the JLUR had every single options i originally ordered except the AUX switch. i had only 2 choices, take it as is or wait for another 4-5 months for a new order with 2020 spec and price hike. i thought i can just get the Aux switch afterwards, seeing various topics on aftermarket installation in this forum.
However my dealer is now telling me i can not just buy the AUX switch through them (Mopar Australia) and if i buy from USA then they will not help me installing it, for warranty issue and what not..
Now my challenges:
- If i buy the AUX switch from USA will it work? i.e: is there specific model ID/version for Australian specific JLUR that i should be worried about?
- Finding the best auto electrician in Melbourne for the installation work, does anyone have any recommendation that does auto electric work for Jeep?
- Activating the AUX switch on the Uconnect, i am bit hesitant on going the Tazer route and having to remove/unmarry every-time i take the Jeep for service. Does anyone know if i can get the firmware upgraded by local dealer so i don't have to worry about the tazer route and have a permanent installation?
Thanks heaps for any help!
