Well... you did more than that. You intimated that people, who got options you appear to think denigrate Jeeps, have ruined the community. Thats how I interpreted it anyway.
In all fairness, of all the creature comforts added to the JL, the proximity locks was the only feature that had you dreading the direction of the entire Jeep community.
It works perfectly well for its intended purpose. No, it doesn't lock the doors automatically when walking away from the Jeep. You have to push a button on the door handles to lock. Other than a few luxury vehicles, not many have that auto lock feature. Jeep added these options to the new Wrangler based on customer feedback and product surveys. If you don't think it's necessary or too expensive, don't get it. It certainly shouldn't discourage potential buyers from purchasing an in-stock Wrangler just because it happens to be on one on a dealers lot. This pissing match is ridiculous, especially from the people here who are either just trolling for an argument or can't get over the fact that the Wrangler has evolved into an expensive specialized vehicle. There are plenty of very good used JK's affordably available to anyone put off by the JL's design, features, or cost. Buy the perfect Wrangler for your purposes, enjoy the hell out of it, and don't care what others are buying or doing to their new rides.
Agreed. In my area, we hear reports of stuff stolen out of unlocked cars all the time. We almost never hear of tops cut or windows smashed to get stuff out of cars. I don’t keep anything of value in my car but I still don’t want some punk teenagers stealing my leatherman or maglite or little socket set or whatever else I keep in the Jeep.
Have it on all my vehicles. Its great....especially on the Jeep.
