    USB media drive suddenly not working

    I've had my 22 w/ 12" screen eat 2 usb thumb drives. Mine tend to last about 2-3 months and then nothing. Unfortunately, both were scorched earth and not salvageable. For reference: the drives I tried that failed on my gear were the Sandisk micro platform USB-A thumb drive.

    Looking to install aftermarket subs

    Confirmed. They infact do not. My apologies.

    Looking to install aftermarket subs

    I had 1 Skar Audio dual voice coil 12" with an 800 watt mono amp in my previous big horn. Solid sound for the coin. Just providing other brand options. Link for 10" enclosures...

    Mirror Replacement

    I had standard mirrors with small convex. Useless when towing anything 8' wide. Bought the Oem style Boost tow flip up mirrors. Pretty solid mirror for the price. Traded trucks and now have 360 cam standard mirrors. Found some OEM TRX takeoff tow mirrors. These things are SOLID! Sure...

    HEADLIGHT UPGRADE

    I had the Morimotos in my 19 Big Horn. They are much better than stock, but the cutoff is super sharp for projectors. Mine took some finesse with a side of profanity to get them aimed properly. Held up for the 2 yrs I had them with zero issues. The ONLY issue I had was my fault due to...

    Weird two way radio sounds

    I dunno bro. I can try and run it thru some of my sound processing stuff to extract the audio if you like. Might take a me a few days as I've got a full sched the net little bit.

    SECURITY GATEWAY AND OBDII ACCESS

    That's the bad fallback about Autel. It's MANDATORY that the tool have an active Autel subscription as well since it all goes thru their servers. Call AutoAuth quick enough if your Autel subscription is expired and you don't plan to renew and they will issue a refund.

    SECURITY GATEWAY AND OBDII ACCESS

    This is the preferred method with Autel. I have the 906TS and it works fine with bypass cable and Auto Auth subscription. Since retiring from automotive, I prefer to use Alpha and the MX USB cable so I can connect directly to a Windows laptop.

    Alignment Check

    Unless the eccentric adjusters on the control arms are maxed out on both sides, I'd ask them to finish the alignment. Not being a d!ck, but there's room for improvement. Look at the adjusters on the front passenger lower control arm. If there's ample room for it to move left or right, take it...

    Android auto and Waze....When Waze speaks directions, radio volume ducks down. 50% of the time, stays down and Waze does not release radio volume back

    Same issue in my 2014 Grand Cherokee with 8.4"and 2019 Big Horn with 8.4". I've since ditched Waze and moved back to CarPlay with Apple Maps. I seem to have had less random adventures with Maps vs Waze.

    Weird two way radio sounds

    Does this happen at the same locations? You might be near a high power repeater.

    Jeeper interested in a 5th Gen

    I came from Jeeps as well, but several generations of Grand Cherokees. Wish I would have came to Ram sooner.

    Need new tires 285/45-22

    Had several sets of LTX MS/2's on previous years of grand cherokees. Those tires ride and wear great,. Fair in average offroad scenerios, but you won't go anywhere in wet grass. Period. LOL Had the AT2/s on my 19 Big Horn. Loved them as I have a few hundred acres of farmland and also tow a...
