392 Starting Production!/ Any Regrets?

leakgator · Aug 21, 2021

Hello 392 Fam.
I just received a text message on the 392 I ordered 5/28. They say it will be here in September!
It’s a little bittersweet, as I was hoping the 22s to be announced before mine started production. I don’t know why I’m hung up on wireless CarPlay and uconnect 5. Maybe it’s because I have heard so many uconnect 4 issues. My kenwood 10” screen in my 2012 has it and I love it. I know I can purchase a dongle, but I hear the Uconnect 4 is the weak link.
Of course I could refuse delivery, but I don’t like being that way.
So do any of you have any regrets not waiting till the 22s or any of you planning on trading yours for a 22, if they are significant changes??
Thanks for all responses!

No regrets at all. I bought it because it is a Jeep with a big engine and lots of horsepower/torque! Electronics is just a nice feature and there are always going to be improvements/upgrades year to year... 22's? The 23's will be even better (if they still make 392 Jeeps). Just like buying an iPhone, next year is always improved. But it's fun to have the first year, the original.

Now in no way am I being critical of someone waiting for the next year model.... I'm just answering your question... We are so blessed to have the choices....

The system has a recent update available. Make sure you update it when you get it. I just got my 392 two days ago and Uconnect has worked without issues in my case.
