I recently traded my 2014 GC Limited 4x4 (with an expired UConnect account I might add) for a new 2014 GC Overland 4x4 last Saturday. When I registered for UConnect again for the new vehicle, BOTH vehicles showed up on the account AND BOTH WERE ENABLED!
So I called the UConnect help line, and they had to deactivate & delete the old vehicle from my UConnect account. What I find interesting was how the representative did not know if I would have been able to still unlock doors or start the old vehicle.
No surprise here...if they left you on the account with unconnect, of course you'd have access. I would guess a vehicle can only be assigned to one uconnect account so they just hadn't swathed it yet.

The biggest concern would be for somebody buying a used car. I'm not going to be too concerned if I can still start my Jeep after I sell it.
I am surprised that there is no way to deactivate the system from in the vehicle ... Or maybe there is.
How many people trade in or sell a car without clearing the Homelink system? On my Acura they even had a reminder in the owners manual to clear data from the nav and entertainment systems. It was all just a few button presses.

There is a way to "unregister" vin from you uconnect account. It erases everything. Tried that couple of times when was dealing with "vehicle phone requires service" issue.
ok, off-topic, but I've recently gotten this message 3 times. I've owned my GC for about 3 weeks and haven't noticed any other issues. Easy fix? or no fix at all?
