Oh, no doubt it was $ related I'm sure. I'm sure it's something like a computer flash more than hardware, since I can read all that same data on my BullyDog tuner. It's really no different than if you wanted power windows, the one thing I cared about, you were foced into a $2500 Uconnect package.


***if anyone has a "14+ sport, I'd be curious if this changed at all and you have access to these options in the basic dash menu. All my friends had/have rubis (suckers! ).

Another option is an app like Torque Pro. I've run that on a Nexus 7 tablet, but it also runs on most any Android device. You'll need a Bluetooth-OBD adapter, which is pretty inexpensive (think $10-20) ...

I bought a used 2015 JK Sport and have all of these options via the steering wheel Menu button. I was under the impression it was included as the Jeep Manual doesn't seem to differentiate between models.
