I'm waiting for a Jeep I ordered months ago and dealers are selling them to people walking in off the street.


Is it true that the mygig is not going to play DVDs? That's one reason I got it. Another is the U-connect for my cell phone and I hear that won't be enabled either. Seems like I had to wait for my Jeep because of an option I chose and I'm not even going to be getting features of the option I was told I would get.
The MyGig will play a DVD when the parking brake is engaged. There are kits that you can install to make the Jeep think that the brake is engaged when it really is not and watch the DVD while driving. It is illegal in most states, but you can do it.

The Uconnect is not part of the JK. It shares a head unit with other Chrsler vehicles but will not have U connect. IMO, every car should have it standard, but no dice.

I am in Metro Detroit where it is chrysler country. The Chrysler HQ is right here. Nobody pays full tilt for anything. Even if you are not an employee, most dealers will give you the FPP pricing. It may be worth the trip here to purchase if they have what you want.

I really cannot imagine a volume based dealer, going for allocation, would not work with you on a vehicle if they have five or six sitting there.

Default Factory and Dealers

Why doesn't Chrysler just go out to their dealers and try to put the customers in touch with the ones who have the product or a close match to what they ordered? They would probably fill most of the backlogs out there. I would work with them no matter were they are just as long as they didn't gouge me So if anyone knows of a let me know.

Check out zip 75067 on Jeep website, Huffines. They have 2 black Rubis, one is very close (no MyGig & w/grey interior).

Check Golling in zip 48034. I think they have this exact vehicle except for the Khaki Interior. If I remember correctly, the MSRP is $35,200.

Default Thanks

I have found a few that have the options I want, but they are asking way to much for them. I just can't see increasing my payment by $150.00 to $200.00 per month for their profit.
