Will the Instrument Cluster Display Function Without the Guardian Annual Subscription?

[XKPin]

I've been searching the “Electronics, Electrical, Uconnect, Nav, A/V, CB, Comms, Cameras” for some time, but well short of the 161 pages. I’m sure there is an answer to my question in the Forums, but I’m hoping someone can offer a quick answer:

My free year of Guardian expires this month.

Is the Instrument Cluster Display (located behind the steering wheel) independent of the SiriusXM Guardian video screen?

If I don’t renew my subscription, will the Instrument Cluster Display still show the water and oil temps, mileage and tire pressures, etc, that is normally shows?

Thanks.

You don't need that subscription for the EVIC.

All mine work and no intention of paying for any of those things. Guardian has been gone for months.

Remote start and such still work just doesn't work with the phone app that was POS anyway and only started half the time. Not sure if you have SOS and Tow Truck buttons but think those are turned off now.

Thank you for your expedient response! Aside from the loss of remote locking my doorless Wrangler, GPS and the radio, I still have the basic functions.

I've never used the screen in 17k miles. Just didn't want to lose the standard operating stats.

Thanks again.

Yes, I have the Tow Truck and SOS, but tracking the Jeep (via LoJack or BrickHouse) proved impossible where I WOULD worry about theft and those things. Lake Moomaw (border of West Virginia & Virginia), Adirondack & White Mountains of Vermont are cell sketchy at best.
Thank you for your input!

Yes it will. And off-road pages will still work. I think the big thing you will lose is the ability to start remotely and lock/unlock the doors using your phone.

Thanks for the input. Those items I can do without. The places I generally end up don't have cell service anyway. I wish my iPhone could get a connection via satellite like my Garmin. That would be a good reason for a security program which could track my vehicle should vanish.

you will lose is the ability to start remotely.

To be clear, remote start from your key fob will still work. It is the ability to remote start from your phone that you will lose without the Guardian subscription.
