What to look for.?

[MadKaw]

We just sold the KJ and the wife has her eyes on a 2015 KL limited V6. Going to look at one tomorrow, low k's, all the extras and good price. Has a few scratches from being a city car but can live with that for the price.
Is there anything we should look for.?

I have a 2015 KL Limited but with the diesel engine. Only thing off the top of my head is that they have installed the current uConnect version on it - V17.09.07 - released February. Here's the TSB PDF link.

Also, you'll get its build info if you enter the VIN into this link: https://jeep.custhelp.com/app/jeep/e...SUtZOTl2Wm0%3D

Thanks for the reply.
Good to hear there's not too many issues to look for as we bought it..
The uConnect will be outdated as it hasn't been to the dealer since Dec. The uconnect site says its up to date but I read this latest update is through the dealer atm.? Can it be updated by user.?

Checked the build info and it all checks out, this one came with all the fruit, tech pak, electronic pak, comfort pak, sunroof etc, the guy even got the Permagard paint protection.
Happy with it so far...

Excellent Dave - congrats on the purchase.

We used to be able to update uConnect via the driveuconnect website - I have done it a lot of times for the KL and our WK2 over the last few years, but in the last few months the site has been changed with that stupid message being issued about being up to date, when we know that that is incorrect.

It appears that they have removed the ability of it to be upgraded by the user. Not sure why though. I'll get mine upgraded when I take her in for her 50,000 service in 4 weeks. Very annoying giving we've been able to do it ourselves in the past.

My Limited also is fully loaded - tech pack, comfort pack, electronic pack, sunroof etc. It's getting on now for 3 1/2 years old - still love it. Wish someone would wash it though. True Blue - shit of a colour to keep schmick.

I've just remembered something regards the latest uConnect upgrade. If it is important to you (it may not be), then you will need that version to be able to change States ie: QLD to NSW for example via the touchscreen on Nav.

You can change States via Voice Recognition within Nav without the latest update ie: using voice - "Navigate to 123 Smith Street Brisbane, Queensland" (you must always say the State with VR to have it recognise the address), but if you want to be able to use your fingers on the touch-screen rather than voice, then that bug is fixed in the latest upgrade of V17.09.07.

Thanks for that. Its not due for a service for a while but will see if the dealer will update and check all the software in the meantime.

Another question for anyone, how long did you get out of the orig tyres.? Mine has 40,000 on it and the tyres are stuffed, thought that was a little lite. Just put on some 235 60 18 Kumhos..

Original tyres I swapped out early at about the 21,000 mark for Geolandar AT G012 so not much help for you I'm sorry.
