Headlights: You will see a Jeep emblem molded into the headlight. Jeep states this in the sales brochure and I think that is where they talk about the little touches - Luckrider
Sun Visors: When you unclip them (to swing towards the window) they also slide out to get into position where you need them so that light isn't coming between the door and visor. - Luckrider
Rear Window Switches: With the lights on, they get lit up. If you lock the rear windows so that the rear passengers can't operate them, the light goes out.
Center Console: There is a little cubby in the lid. It looks like it would be a great place to hide papers or something like a small map (or maybe some hidden emergency cash). The actual purpose is to house a small package of tissues - Luckrider (Thanks to Justal13 for the exact use).
Front Windows: You can roll them down with the remote. Just unlock the Jeep, let go of the button, and them immediately push the button and hold. It takes about 2 seconds before they start going down, and then they go until you release the button (not everyone knows this). - Luckrider
Rear Glass Latch: Just because you don't have the fancy auto glass and hatch doesn't mean you can't unlock just the hatch. If you take the remote apart and click (2x) the lower left button with the black part that is normally used to contact one of the other buttons, the latch will pop and you can open it without unlocking the Jeep. That would be useful when dropping stuff off... now if only you could find the rubber skin to make it work without taking the remote apart (I am sure you can actually do that). Found that out while waiting in the Jeep bored playing with everything I could.-Luckrider
Super Sexy Electric Speedo: If you have the 430N (might work with the other nav radio), if you touch the box that displays your speed (when on map) it will bring up another screen that shows an odometer, speedometer on the left, average moving speed, average speed (includes stopped), and fastest speed driven. - Luckrider
Massive Hidden Cargo Bin: There is a huge cargo compartment under the driver's seat. Same size as the battery compartment under the passenger side, and the lid even has instruction for changing the battery (which isn't in that compartment). - Luckrider
Spare Cover Flap Hook: There is a sweet hook in the lid for the spare tire that can be used to hold it up when you need to get stuff in the cargo area there, or for getting the spare out. You guys know there are 2 cargo bins there right? - Luckrider
Rewind the Radio: On the 430N while listening to the radio... Hit The rewind button ie '<<'. You have to hit the button marked replay before this will work though. - Celly
Headrest Adjustments: That headrest does more than just go up and down, you know. It has the ability to tilt forward and back too. - plynn7
Got the info from Jeepforum.com

People that ARE colorblind can't read your remarks. Just because something is good for you doesn't mean it has to be for everyone else.
Yes, I can change backgrounds in a browser but many of us use a dedicated BBS software on a tablet or smartphone that lack that option.
I was polite in acknowledging it was NOT your fault and tried to let you know 25% of us are handicapped. Glasses don't fix that. Sorry. You don't need to be a jerk about it.
Seems like your the one being a "jerk" about it. If you can't read it thats not my problem its yours. I only copy and pasted it from another site to be helpful. I didn't chose the colors so stop the name calling and hijacking of my thread.

Wow. "I only copy and pasted it from another site to be helpful." ...and didn't read it, perhaps? I'm not colorblind, even a little, and the blue text is difficult to simply SEE on the dark-gray background. If you were trying to be helpful, you could have changed, and still can change, the font color.
"Seems like your (SIC) the one being a "jerk" about it. If you can't read it thats (SIC) not my problem its (SIC) yours." Ahh, I see--you're trying to be helpful, but it's the reader's problem if you use text colors that are barely visible.
BTW I did NOT try to read your about-invisible blue-text replies to my prior posts.
Hijack your thread? We're simply trying to convince you that your use of blue text color is very difficult to read, but that concept seems beyond you. So long, 2014.
I'm ok except for having gotten laid off 3 weeks ago.
How's things for you?
As for the 315"s... I sold the tires and chrome wheels after I got rid of the Srt8. I kinda like having the same size all around now to keep things simple.
I had no idea about the window lock turning off the lights on the rear buttons. Tried it out last night and was surprised they did something as simple as this. I know you got it from another source, but one thing that would help is adding the model year these apply to.
Found something else you may not know about.
While gassing up I noticed this sticker on the inside of the gas filler door.........
Sure enough I looked in the back storage compartment and there is a funnel with the rest of the spare tire and jacking stuff.
I can't imagine ever having to use it when you get 500 miles to a tank and a few low fuel warnings.
I would add it to the list in the original post but for some reason your not allowed to edit your own post after a few days it seems.
Thank you thank you.... I have had my GC for about 18 months and have been walking around to the front door to lock it if I accesses the cargo compartment yes - I already know about the lock button on the keyfob but it's just one of those things where I'd rather take a few steps to lock it rather than dig the keyfob out of my pockets .
I notice today that you can adjust the NAV volume without going into the menus. All you have to do is wait for the NAV voice guidance and turn the volume up or down with the volume buttons/knob. The volume button reverts back to "radio" function after the voice guidance is complete.
Just found out today that if you are on a Bluetooth phone call it will not auto disconnect when you turn the engine off/ open the door. The BT will continue working until you use your phone to switch to handset (or the power off time delay elapses, I assume). It was kind of nice to be reminded before it switched to my handset while it was still in my pocket.
I had this happen to me at the dealership. I was talking to my wife on my cell phone, standing out in the parking lot, about 15-20 feet from my truck. The tech started the truck up and it automatically switched to Bluetooth. Suddenly I couldn't hear my wife on my phone, so I hung up thinking I had lost the call. I redialed and heard it ringing in the truck. Had to go into the garage and transfer it back to my phone so we could talk. :lol:
Possibley a silly question, but how do you get to the storage bin under the drivers seat? Is it difficult to get off? Also, I have a 2013 Egroup base so no QL for me.

Don't "hang your hat" on the altitude feature. It showed me below sea level when I was at about 250 feet above sea level. Not close enough for government work.
I'm not sure we can blame Jeep. I've had GPS devices report I am off the road several hundred feet in a metro area before. Sometimes this occurs when the satellite signals are reflecting off of something or not locked on to an adequate number of signals due to terrain or buildings. If the locked satellites happen to be low on the horizon, hills can mess things up
Just found another little nugget. On the navigation menu page, on the top left corner you can see the signal strength and how many satellites you're hooked up to. Just press and hold the bars and a separate screen shows up with the satellite info.
These Easter Eggs are not universal. The cargo bin under the driver's seat is an Easter Egg only for those without Quadra Lift. For those with QL the feature is an Easter Egg. The 2014s don't have the remote front windows opening. The list can continue.
