Wow, not too sure I want to read the thread anymore just incase I get jinxed. So far BaaBaaa has been wonderful. Well except for the chip in the windscreen. I also do have something loose rolling around under the floorboards close to the centre pillar on the drivers side. I have pulled the carpet up and placed an inspection camera in and can't find where it is coming from. I would agree though with posters on other threads that the bass is a bit too high on the stereo.

Other than that BaaBaaa just rocks. My wifer still has 2 more years to go to get her psychology degree, I am afraid it may be too late for me. I will look outside and see the car there lonely and feel bad so I will go out and listen to a few songs with her. Done it twice tonight. :(

Have been surfing the USA UCONNECT update site but we appear to be discussing completely different problems. Willx on the site is the Uconnect specialist. I don't want to read 60 plus pages so I am asking whether any one from Oz has posted any of our problems on this site as interested to hear what response you were given.

Hi, Has any one noticed this and please tell me if it is normal.
Laredo diesel with ql:

Fuel consumption with cruise on,

5L/100 at 80kph
7 at 100kph
8 at 110kph (is this normal?)
9 at 115kph
No ql here...but on a flat run of about 70 km.... I was in the mid 7's on way there at 100.... and slightly better on way back at 115.... maybe I had a trailing wind on way back.... car was also in eco mode

Hey Gforce, whatever you did it worked. Very nice unit - the light frost definitely lifts the profile of the car, and the blends nicely witht he black carpet. All in all a nice choice. Also noticed the tow bar fitted - so your dealer didn't encounter any difficulty??? Also notice the nice touch of the slim number plate on the front and the full size on the rear - fill the spaces nicely. Was this a special request or did the dealer do it as standard?

Regards,

Thought this one up myself, this is the most basic personal plates you can order, black letters on a white background, choice of sizes or mixture of, no choice of the number though. Cost is $195 and the dealer arranged it for me and fitted them.
If I decided to choose a letter / number combo then price goes up to $450. Big rip off...

Hi Gforce
I made a similar choice - two slimline plates in black with white writing against a granite background - came out great and the dealer did not charge for the choice. Got the new plate sequence also (in VIC) - starts with AA----

GC Limited Light Frost Beige
It is difficult to show the true colour of the interior, but I think the photo's in the Album reflect the true colour fairly well, the colour trends toward the darker shade than the lighter one, hope these are of assistance to those of you who are interested.

Just another Photo, promise this is the last one for now.

Hi GForce,
That is factory/Mopar towbar, looking at your pic in the showroom ??
 
#5,785 ·
Yes, the Label underneath clearly states 'GENUINE MOPAR' with logo and the part number. Then under this on the same label it says
Manufactured by Best Bars Auckland New Zealand.

As a matter of interest when I enquired last year about a Tow Bar for a 2012 GC I was looking at, I was informed by the sales rep that the bars were actually made by Hayman Reece as the tow bars have to conform to Australian Design Rules.
 
#5,788 ·
Thanks. I have enquired here in Adelaide and have been told the tow hook would have to be removed with HR and others. Looks like you get to keep it with the genuine part.

I have a Towing Eye bolt for my Limited, not too sure where it fits (no smart comments now) but it is in the spare wheel compartment, it has a long thread at one end, I guess it fits up front somewhere as there is already a Tow Hook fitted on the rear of the vehicle.
 
#5,790 ·
The tow eye in with the spare tyre fits to the front left by removing a small cover. It is only meant to used for towing on the bitumen, not for being bogged and getting snatched out.
 
#5,791 ·
The tow hook screws in behind the removable cover in the front bumper on drivers side. Think salmo was referring to the rear hook, and as you said it's still there, as is mine.

I just got back from a weekend trip to Canberra from Sydney. Very nice trip with fuel economy somewhere around 6.5L/100km using ACC on the freeway (as stated by Jeep). Hard to say exactly as I did not reset Trip A stats... was 10.0L/100km when we started the trip and was 7.0L/100km when we got back. I had the economy button on most of the time.

Current average consumption is 7.8km over a total distance driven of 1064km (close to Jeeps stated 7.5L/100km combined fuel economy).

Regards,

Sparky

GeForce, thank you for posting all the photos, I have a Granite with the light interior on order. Like the darker Capet mats you have! I always thought they were quite small but yours seem to prove a good coverage, were they a standard Jeep accessories or did you get from somewhere else? Also not sure if the sides, floor and back of rear seat in the rear cargoarea come in the light interior or a darker carpet. Seen both colour options for light interior and not sure which one comes as standard for the cargo compartment.

Thank you

Depends on the model. Laredo & Ltd it is a contrast, dark floors & cargo base with light upper.
Overland it's light everywhere.

Stick you head under the car and see if they have put back your recovery hook. The muppets at SVM Mosman removed mine, so I have no rear recovery point.
I keep forgetting to get them to replace it during service.

this afternoon, I was shocked to see my u connect screen turned off totally, cannot do anything and called the dealer. They know straight away how to do and asked me to bring it over. They said they reset the screen and everything back to normal. But not very happy to experience this at 800 km clock. Has any body got this and is it common?
Have any body heard new software update on the way?
Thanks

Thanwintun, your question will probably prompt many to report their experiences which are already posted here. Colossie lost his screen momentarilly and remedied it by pressing volume & Tune button at same time to reboot the Uconnect. Reports of reverse camera going blank, no VR working, Nav screen spitting the dummy, Uconnect failing to monitor heating with one side blowing cold and the other hot.....and so it goes on and on.
My car goes in for a new Uconnect this Wednesday. They have assured me they are aware of the problems and the new one will remedy it. Time will tell. I love most features on my Uconnect. My problems are that the Nave will not remember favourites etc. Voice Recognition will not work for calling out, only for receiving calls. Car blows Hot one side and then Cold the other. They tell me it is a very quick job to exchange the Uconnect so I will be reporting outcomes later on this site.

Now, just to stir the pot. Why are you guys asking to change wheels over to multi spoked wheels. I love my Overland 5 spokes. A very classy finish and so much easier to keep clean. So easy to get between the spokes and to actually keep the inside of the wheel clean. My insides of the wheel are all mirror shiny because I can easily get right in behind the spokes to clean the flat wheel section. I can just place my entire hand through the spokes and wipe it all down with a sponge or a nice special soft brush I now have to put through. Now for the reactions???????

If anyone is interested, we have just towed our 2t Jayco with our new MY14 Laredo from the south coast of NSW to Broken Hill, then to Cameron Corner, Innaminka, The Dig Tree and currently at Thargominda. The CRD Laredo with quadralift, ORII and Mopar bar with p3 controller and seven pin plug was fitted with Cooper AT/3's. here is our progress report:
NEGATIVES:
The usual aircon issues with varying temp controls etc.
No mud flaps. A serious issue for remote travelers.
POSITIVES:
fuel economy with caravan! Varied from 10.5 l/100 From Broken Hill to Menindee (following the Darling down dirt road at leisurely pace) 11.7 from Cameron Corner to Innaminka. 13.00 on the bitumen run 350k to Thargominda at 95-100kph. To date I have traveled 2200 k with the van and averaged 12.1 litre/100k. By way of comparison.... Mate with a Pajero and similar van uses around $40 more fuel every fuel stop, and another with a Landcruiser 80 series ute with no van uses 5 to 10 liters more per fill.

8 speed auto box....Magic! Cannot fault it, always in the right gear at right time. silky smooth changes, usually run economy but paddles are excellent for fine control and braking. ACC works well no issues.

VM Motori motor. Heaps of power, nice growl when asked to respond. Quiet refined high class Euro diesel. The motor has been using a bit more oil than I would have expected. 2 liters in 3000k. It is not an easy motor to check oil levels with.very sensitive to slopes and the dip stick seems to accumulate oil as you withdraw it no matter what. This is making it difficult to get a clear reading.

DUST: With all black trim I thought this would a big issue, but no signs of dust getting past the seals. This is a very tight vehicle.

SUSPENSION: Quadralift worked perfectly and on demand. Excellent for 4'10 wifer to get in and out. Valuable aid when hitching or leveling for overnight camp stops. Works well in OR1, not too stiff. In Aero the ride is first class luxury. The road between and Innaminka and the QLD border was a shocker! As bad as I have experienced with a van. The Old Strezilecky was not much better but the car handled it with ease. No body rattles or squeaks to date. This is going to be one serious remote area tug if Jeep Aust give it the mandatory back-up with servicing and spares.

EVIC gauges: The ability to monitor engine oil temp, transmission temp, and configure the dash to suit is a great aid. I air-down a lot in these areas and the ability to check tyre pressures in transit is reassuring.

RADIO ETC. works well, easy to tune and store stations no issues as yet with exception. I get an intermittent thump from the radio when using AM Channel. Minor issue.Music works via blue tooth phone, SD card and USB iPod.

If the Big Jeep continues to perform in this fashion we will be two very happy little campers!

our new MY14 Laredo.......

.........ACC works well no issues.
????????
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) in a Laredo, how is this possible?
Standard on Overland and SRT, not an option on Laredo or Ltd.

Great feedback otherwise.

Excellent review NC. :)

I love reading about these adventures but I have no desire to go myself. It's a Kiwi thing. No matter how long we live here, we just cannot, cannot get used to the great distances that are travelled in this vast land.

Hell, we can (almost) toss a stone from Christchurch to the Southern Alps and travelling for more than an hour - we start packing a picnic and supplies. :lol:

I'm the bane of my (Australian) husband's life in this regard.

I love reading about it though (so keep posting on your trip) and you're right. If Jeep Aus (CA) ever get their service and spare parts act together, they most definitely have a winner of a vehicle.

Snuke's post is interesting. They should try to keep that momentum going and to that end, the first thing they should do is get a fix out that corrects the UC/Climate Control issues.

Read this article on the NZ Herald yesterday. GC sales are up by 27% even after the teething issues they seem to still be experiencing.

I read the sales figures too. One day ARB et all will start producing some aftermarket bits....one day....

Pharmaboy - How did you go with your Check Engine Light issue (CEL)? I can only relate to it on WK '07 (that's a bit of a story) but all good after 4 1/2 odd years.

How did you go? What did the dealership say?

Sorry if posted before.
With my android phone paired with u connect, I cannot access music contents or message on the screen. I can only use my phone to access my music contents and play, then I can pause/ play/ next on the screen. Is that it? Does it fully compatible with only iphone not androids?
Thanks

Wish I could assist you, I have an iPhone 4s and it has paired perfectly, I have full access to all my music via USB and Bluetooth, oh and it accepts phone calls as well.

Have you had any problems pairing your phone with other devices? or have you checked if there is a software update for your phone as this is one of the most common causes of problems with pairing?

Maybe someone here who has an Android my be able to offer you some advice.

nariracruisin' ...Let me be one to give you a formal "Thankyou" for your efforts to post your experiences for all to read. It is a good example of the benefits of this forum. Now it's a shame with those extras that it was not possible to add the ACC because I and others would strongly suggest buyers consider this feature. It is so superior to normal Cruise Control it just aint funny. One of the best features on this car along with the automatic high beam....luv them. Let's hope they have ironed out some of those Uconnect problems. I think I will be one of the first to get a new Uconnect fitted tomorrow. Let's see how many K's I get before reporting problems.
