The camera for the adaptive cruise is required for the auto-dim high beam feature.This may be a stupid question, but I think I've seen a couple people mention this...
You need the adaptive cruise or something (camera) to get auto-dim high beams right? So isn't the auto-dim automatically come with it? In other words, how do you have the equipment to run it but it's not activated??
Easy, it was not programmed at the factory for the auto-dim high beam feature.
Example: I ordered my Gladiator in October ‘19 and the Jeep configurator had the auto-dim high beam as part of the advanced safety group (adaptive cruise). When I received it in November (built in November) the option was not listed nor was it programmed for it. After going back and forth with Jeep their response was the feature was not available on Gladiators built before January 14th, 2020. All the hardware is there just not turned on.
Same thing happened with the other half’s 80th edition we ordered in October 2020 and when it came in the feature was not enabled. Went back and forth with Jeep again then several months later their official response was that it is only on Jeeps built after January 2021 and there was no way to reprogram the Jeep or add the sales code to enable the feature.
I bought the Bluetooth OBD scanner and JScan to enable the option, my take away is never order your Jeep in October and wait until after the first of the year ;-). Two Jeeps in two years with the exact same problem and response from Jeep. ”The website was wrong when it was ordered and the feature was not available.”
