I didn't have my Jeep today, it was actually in service all day today. So I am honestly not sure.

I know the little speak with ! came onto my dash where my speedometer is tho, yesterday that is. Was that normal as well?

 

[elf883]

Like one would be off and the other one would be on while parked.

if the truck was running
and the steering wheel was turned on way or the other yes it will come on even if parked
and also the same with the blinker as u see in this video
its normal if its turned on in the settings yep
watch the reflection in this video

It was not normal, but happened to most owners with an active satellite subscription. Those of us who let our trial lapse had no issues. They broke it over the air and fixed it over the air for those affected.

Dash flickering want normal, but sounds like they fixed it.

The dog light behavior is the cornering lights like others said. I turn it off and just run with the fogs on most of the time. They illuminate pedestrians to the side and such

I got it for the first time on a real cold day. (15 TH Auto.24K) The radio dropped out and the light came on. Happened 3 times. This was Monday morning. It hasnt happened since. When these little electronic gremlins pop up from time to time, I disconnect the battery for about a minute and then reconnect. Most times it works. I will get it back to the dealer eventually.

Yes, Monday is when this widespread issue was happening due to a change in the satellite radio signal. There was a fix from Sirius around midday.

You dont need to take it back to the dealer or disconnect/reconnect your battery. This was a system level issue and description was provided by Jeep within the thread.

"Hi everyone!

Today, owners of vehicles with the Uconnect 5.0 system (RA2 sales code) may have experienced a condition where their radio would freeze and restart repeatedly. This condition was caused by an update to the Satellite Radio signal, that the radio could not handle. As of 1:00 PM EST (January 30, 2017), the situation has been resolved and your radio should function normally again.

We deeply apologize for the inconvenience this may have caused. If anyone is still experiencing this please let me know ASAP!

I've also noticed that I can be driving and my radio and my dash will dim for a brief second and then brighten back up. Anyone else have that issue?

 

[elf883]

the dim can also be on the settings in the radio - it will react to the sunlight - almost like an iphone will get brighter when needed .
just a thought

 

[DogsRule]

Also me on Monday. Thanks for the explanation above.

Interesting how one entity can control everyone's radio. Step one in any takeover: divide and isolate. Now it can be done from one desktop at Sirius.

Glad OnStar cant control our Jeeps.

I also disconnect the battery when my locks/keyfob stops working and also when the truck locks the door locks on its own. Both happen frequently.

 

[markjchapman]

OK, the thread says fixed, but only happened to me on Feb 6

I see the thread seems to say that Sirius fixed this on the 1st, however it only hit my Renegade yesterday (6th), I'm in Canada if that makes a difference.
