Hi Everyone,

This forum has been a great wealth of knowledge as I am putting together my build. My only question is why on the jeep website when i select the cold weather group, does it automatically add the convenience package? Its only on certain models, including the willys. Could this just be a glitch?

When I ordered my Jeep at the dealership the convenience group was automatically added when we selected the cold weather package. I really wanted the heated seats and remote start so I had to go with it. Don't remember if my salesman explained the reasoning or not.

It might be because the Cold Weather package includes Remote Start, which probably requires the Convenience package?

For a Sport or Sport-based trim level (which the WIllys is), the Convenience Package is required for the Cold Weather Package.

Thank you! Its only on certain models too. I just love the look of the willys and I have no need for the convenience package

I thought this too, but for example you can add the cold weather on the sport altitude and it doesn't require you to add both

It doesnt require it on the sport altitude, thats what is confusing since that would be a sport trim as well

Based on the Order Guide it is required on the Sport-based Altitude, too. Where did you see that it wasn't?

On the site now, customizing an altitude and it doesnt require me to select the convenience when i pick CWP

And, if you get the manual, you get to pay the price for the convenience package, but do not get the remote engine start, just the garage door opener.....

But seriously, I went and played around with the build configurations, and I think the issue is that many other trims have the convenience package included, so it doesn't need to be added, such as the rubicon. And it might be required due to the remote start option, which I know sounds weird, but with the computers these days everything is tied together in a weird way.

The build site is notoriously buggy. The order guide is more reliable.

Yes. It's discounted, but it still is a real expensive garage door opener!

There's plenty of aftermarket seats and covers that offer heating options. CalTrend offers good cloth covers with a heating option for far less $$ than the convenience package and CWP. Can't help you with the heated steering wheel, tho.
