I recall a thread where folks were not getting a hard copy owner's manual with the delivery of the Wrangler. My Willys has one - which surprised me. I had already downloaded the electronic version, so I'm good either way.

I wish Chilton's or Haynes was still in business. I'd love to get a hard copy of one of their repair manuals for the JL/JLU series. Those days are gone, I'm afraid. Too many electronic gizmos for something like that, I reckon. I'm not looking for an electronic subscription, but that may be the way I'll eventually go.

For 2024, the owner’s manual is supposed to be on a file in the infotainment screen.

No Hays or Chiltons anymore. The internet killed that.

Manual is on my 2018's UCONNECT Infotainment screen... A lot of good that manual does when you have, say a no start scenario due to battery(s) depletion.

I haven't had a chance to check out the UConnect Infortainment screen yet to see if the 23s have it there, too. I agree in that method NOT being practical.

It has it. Owner's Manual on Infotainment screen is not a new thing.

My '23 came with a hard copy of the owner's manual and infotainment manual, warranty cards, etc in a very cute little drawstring bag with the Jeep logo.

It's also on the Jeep app and I think there is an electronic copy buried in the infotainment as well, and you can download the PDF version from Mopar.

Haynes is definitely still in business and they have one for the 2018+ JL Wrangler. I guess it's only offered as a download, though.

Thanks! I looked and didn't see it earlier. This is not quite the same but worth a look-see. "Haynes Haynes DIY is not a Haynes Manual." and " The instructions are no longer step-by-step and are best-suited to confident home mechanics or professionals." It's an online only product, not offered as a downloadable file. Hopefully that means it stays (more) current.

I will take a closer look at the offering and their Ts & Cs. At an introduction cost of $30, it sounds like it'll be worth it if that's an total cost and not annual or have other costs associated with its use.

Don't bother with the Haynes or Chiltons stuff. If you are serious about doing stuff to your Jeep and youtube isn't cutting it . . . get a Factory Service Manual.

Now, you don't need a service manual to upgrade suspension, install a winch, etc. Service manuals are most helpful if you are modifying the existing wiring harness, rebuilding the engine, swapping out clutch packs in the transmission, and fairly intense stuff like that.

Where did you find the Infotainment system manual? I've gone through all the pages and did not see it.

For my Jeep, it came as a separate book that looks exactly like (photo stolen from Google):

Ahhh. I thought you meant it was in the display informtainment on the dash.

I have that, too.

Thanks
