Emergency

[BarneyM]

I change oil annually. When I do, I also change fob batteries, wipers, that sort of thing.

You do realize that Jeep requires oil changes at 6 months or 6,000 miles for the 392 to keep warranty in effect?

You all talk about having guns to protect your 392 but what about when its un-attended or your away from it? I use an Apple Airtag, concealed in a remote place on the jeep. Whenever it leaves the area of my phone, it alerts me. Very in expensive in my opinion and not having to deal with a CLUB, which would of been my second choice.

Sentry turret


in all seriousness, whichever method of security finds you peace and confidence is what you should choose. I encourage everyone do their research to see what their financial situation allows them to do: club, faraday pouch, security camera, software/hardware measures via Tazer, Nolimitz, etc.

I'll look at the Apple Airtag But it sounds like you need an Apple phone to use the Apple product, instead of Android.

I've been looking into these systems since this thread started. I am probably missing something, but it looks like IGLA would be the best system to actually prevent your vehicle from being stolen. Many of the others like Compustar and Viper sound like fancy remotes that let you start your vehicle from up to 3 miles away, and also notify you when it has been stolen. I don't want notified after it is stolen, I want to prevent it from being stolen.

Somebody made a comment in this thread early on that I thought was smart to bring up and made me take action. I recommend everyone be mindful of how granular you get in your location in your profile settings. The tools available that make theft possible to any degree are out there, and these maggots that are determined are unfortunately getting access to tools making it more and more possible. I wouldn't put it past these vermin lurking on these threads to get an idea of where to strike based on where they see us located. Be mindful of what you want to share, and keep specifics to your location reserved for DMs and meetups away from home.

I am the warranty.

I have Ikon. Came with the Jeep.

Any word from the shop? Did they get it running?

Android has its version of an "air tag". I've found them on Amazon. Can't say I've tried it but they have good reviews.

They said all that needs to be done is both the keys need to be reprogrammed since they were erased from the Jeep memory or setting and then the horn was cut off so they have to fix the horn. They are checking everything else but hopefully that's about it. Aside from that, there's a spare tire recall on the Jeeps so they're going to take care of that.

I went with terra flex. But what is the recall?


Hope you get it back this week

That's great news. Glad to hear everything is fixable! What's the recall about?

Look at the Tile. I use them on all kinds of items. They have a anti-theft option to keep them silent. I use an iPhone but I really like the Tiles.

The recall is related to the spare and the jack kit. My 2024 Rubicon 392 is involved in this recall.

I like this, but unfortunately for us, the attack method is not always the OBD port. It's often the star connector behind the glove box.

I've thought about wrapping the star connector in a whole roll of electrical tape. That should slow those a-hole thieves down a bit.

Glad you got the Jeep back. O|||||||O

I tried looking it up on Mopar's website along with another site with my VIN number but nothing popping up. I have inquired with my service advisor so hopefully he can share further details. He mentioned that there was a recall on the spare and the jack and that my vehicle was affected. I'll update if I get any further information or details in regards to this recall.

I received a notice for my '24 which said it was for the jack lift base which had not been included. I have yet to stop by the dealership to pick up. My understanding the lift base was not needed/included with non-XR models.

Lol...I discussed this with my SA and he looked it up and ordered the base. It's been like 5 months and I still don't have it but I don't use the stock jack anyways. I just figure the base is mine so I want it.
