Unfortunately, unless you made clear to the supplier that this was a required function it will be hard to enforce, especially when you've had the car so long.Jeep Skills, is the only app I want,
I don't think the absence of those is a decider - they aren't part of the vehicle. You need to find out the build date and when the production year begins (usually around September for most cars).Jeep Cares said my car didin't have because it was a 15 model, I said no because no flashligh and no spare, is a 16 model for sure;
It may be possible, but painful. Someone else on here did manage to retrofit a power seat which had similar challenges in theory (probably a little simpler in fact). A helpful dealer should be able to work out which options are needed and the programming codes to enable them. If the right hardware is then installed then they should be able to reprogram the vehicle to operate with those options.In the auto shop they told me a story of a guy that went there to add fog lights in a Julieta and the main service in Italy also said it is not possible to add aftermarket! No programing for that is present on the car!
Just for clarity, are you the original poster using a different account, or someone else with the same problem?Thanks for the replies.
This is the first paragraph of the document I find when following the link given in the OP:There are Live Services in Portugal and right at the beggining of the document it is referred that is equipped as standard not as an option.
The LIVE services work through your cellphone anyway. Some makes/models of cars have a built in network connection and SIM (or equivalent) and some use your own phone to connect. Both systems have pros and cons. The Renegade uses the second type.I cannot just stand and accept this, I payed 1200? for a full radio so that I didn't have to bring a cellphone and always have the charger plugged in, it was advertised Live Services and I bought it based on that.
That is probably correct - I think those facilities are standard with the "Uconnect 6.5'' Radio Nav LIVE". The first paragraph of that doc, which I quoted above, also says that this - Uconnect 6.5'' Radio Nav LIVE - will be available from June 2015. All of this from a press release in February 2015, which is basically saying "This is what we plan (hope) to do." You seem to be fixing on this doc as some sort of specification for your vehicle order, but it has no legal weight and wouldn't be part of a purchase contract unless the dealer specifically agreed to it. (Remember that your contact is with the dealer, not Jeep.)From the document:
Uconnect 6.5'' Radio Nav LIVE
"Equipped with a 6.5 inch touchscreen, with large and easy to use icons. The Uconnect touchscreen system offers a series of features such as radio, music from multimedia devices, navigator, connected services and phone functions. The features and services offered include the Uconnect LIVE services offered as a standard option, "
I don't know for sure but I suspect that uconnect 6.5 LIVE was an upgraded version of uconnect 6.5. Specifications change every year, during years and also between markets - it is very hard to say what is 'correct' at any time or place.And if I buy a Renegade now? What is the difference? Live Services are not an extra! Same way as the GPS, Radio, USB they are part of the Uconnect 6.5, as is now and was than advertised.
Hope you wont getscammed with a deal by paying something that is advertised and is not like that. If you accept it may be ok for you but not for others.
