Hello,
New to the forum. Just picked up a 2018 JL Rubicon "Ruby" that we custom ordered just 6 weeks ago.
I'm not to savvy with forums and searching for threads, but has anyone else had issues with the 5" radio and HVAC system on their JL's
Its not our daily driver, its a weekend beach buggy, and roam around town vehicle so I haven't blown my lid yet at the dealership.
It started the 3rd day we had it, we left for Boston early am, and had the AC on. But every 5-10 minutes the heat would automatically turn on and it would be on high. We had to shut the system down and restart it to get the AC to then work again. It did this the entire ride up to Boston, which is about a 1.5hr ride with some traffic. I figured it was us, or some setting we haven't figured out yet. The ride home it didn't do it .
2 days later, the radio starts acting up, changing channels, volume changes, XM, FM, AM changes by itself. Literally sitting idling at a stop light, not touching a thing. Also couldn't shut the radio off.
So bring it to the dealership last Friday. "Sorry sir we cant recreate the problem, we rebooted the computer, it should be all set. These JL's are so new, NOONE else has had this same issue"
I'm saying to myself, NFW it will be all set, I'll be dealing with this for a long time or at least my 3 annoying visits to get it Lemon Lawed. But I don't want to go that route, we ordered exactly what we wanted, and don't want to wait another 6-8 weeks for a new one. By Sunday the same issues with the Radio, the HVAC was fine.
So I did a quick google search, and saw on some other forums, that others are having issues with their 5" radio's.
Anyone else hear have these issues, if so what was the fix.
