Does anyone know if we can access the EVIC Easter Egg information on our vehicles. I can do this on my 09 Challenger and saw how to do it on the 11 Challenger by holding the up arrow for 5-10 seconds followed immediately by the down arrow. I tried it on the Cherokee with no luck. Has anyone figure this out yet?

I am not sure of the Chrysler product, but for instance for my GM car, I have additional menues and diagnostic info ( temps, voltages etc, pressures). It is not quite an easter egg, but more of a dignostic mode.
I am interested to find the answer as well.

I would think that, because the WK2 development started during the DC days, some of the Mercedes style easter eggs might be built into the software. My older Mercedes has some pretty cool features hidden behind some goofy sets of button pushes, key turns and pedal stomps.

If anyone finds some Jeep easter eggs, please post them up.

the current engine/trans monitoring is pretty comprehensive, i'm not sure what else you could hack into for more data.

whats odd, is there is no volts display in EVIC.

Looking for the Performance data like the SRT8 has. I know the lower model chargers and challengers have them built in but you have to access them a special way.

Just seeing if they were built in to ours thats all

My 19 GC trailhawk has offroad pages, but with Alfaobd you can enable performance pages and radio/speedometer themes.

I've seen some wk2's with images on the tail light bezels, when wet.

The hellcat challengers have a challenger ghost image in the black edge if the windshield.

Besides the engineering menus of the 8.4 radio, haven't found anything yet, on the GC.

Engineering menus for 8.4 & 8.4N, plus more goodies:

Engineering mode: You can access an Engineering mode within UConnect that allows you to view numerous items. Disclaimer: I do not take responsibility if you break anything while in these screens! In order to access, hold both driver-side temperature buttons at the same time for 5-7 seconds and the menu should open.

- Dealer mode: You can access Dealer mode within UConnect. This is typically used by service technicians. For non-navigation units you can activate Navigation IF you have the 15-digit code that is generated elsewhere. Sorry, no free Navigation upgrades. Disclaimer: I do not take responsibility if you break anything while in these screens! In order to access, hold both driver-side temperature and front defrost button at the same time for 5-7 seconds and the menu should open.

- UConnect Screenshots: You can take screenshots of any screen, including back-up camera image as long as a USB thumb drive is plugged in. Once the drive is plugged in, hold both driver-side temperature and rear defrost button at the same time for 5-7 seconds. Make sure that your USB thumb drive does NOT have the swdl.iso file from a radio firmware upgrade on it!
