Can you please post a pic of this? I has a confuse....where does it go?

This is what I used on my harley.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...l_826btq1z75_e

this clips in to the highbeam switch and to activate, when you are in range of the garage door you flip your highbeams adn the door opens. It has nothing to do really withthe lights, but the lights power the opener sort of. it is pretty cool on the bike and seems like it would be a nice add on to the Jeep. i think I may even still have the part that wires to the bike. So I just need the part that plugs in to the opener. Hopefully I did not throw it asway.

Default I think that we may see more of these on the dealer lots.

This one is on the local dealer lot...it looks really awesome in the pics and even better in person.

Sorry I missed this. Can't get a picture of mine at the moment, but here's where I am talking about. Unless you have some sort of giant remote you can easily get it tucked in there and access the button through the access hole.

I had a similar experience at around 1500 miles. All the gauge indicators lit up, putting vehicle into limp mode, and it would not start after turning it off. Dealership checked wiring for every module, and noticed the PCM was overheating, so they replaced it. Same problem occurred a day later. After two more weeks they determined it was a failed relay that throws errors on the bus. It has apparently been moved on the 2012, and per the mechanic Chrysler's schematics on-line were not updated so he did not know where it was. Mechanic put the vehicle on lift with it running, touched the relay and it failed. Very frustrating, 32 days in the shop. Dealership did a good job, not very satisfied with Chrysler. No problems for past month, overall pleased with the new motor, tranny, and the vehicle in general

I like it, any ideas which wheels are on it? Kind of looks like RR.

It would be funny if there started to be a colored hardtop trade.

I'll take a painted black hard top if anyone wants to trade for a non painted hard top.

Did you recently get the oil changed? My dealer said anything but 5W-30 will trigger the hot oil light.
