There have always been easter eggs within Jeeps, but what about hidden features that they don't want you to know about / aren't widely known on the Jeep Grand Cherokee? On my 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee, there are several cool hidden features/easter eggs that many people (including myself) didn't know about! I'm sure these features go from the Laredo all the way up to the SRT / Trackhawk. Comment any features or weird things you've found down below!

Where is your cargo mat from?
Would you recommend the Jeep for RI winters?
100%! Make sure you have the true 4x4 option with snow mode
Thanx for my new weed hiding spot 😂
Sooo what was this video for again?
80% of your hidden features still remain hidden.
My secret is the key fob can go through the washer and dryer and still work...
I found mine after the wash but didn't dry it. Clean & works great!
Works after 2 washes.... don't want to try the 3rd but keep you updated
Oh wow did they actually make them water resistant?
Lol
@@cadillac68yearsago94 rubber seal inside the key fob.
It was the extra storage under the drivers seat for me
That’s for milk only 👍🏻
Same
Does yours have navigation system? That is where the sat nav goes I think 🤔
It’s not for handguns when you and a group get pulled over😉
its only storage if you dont have upgraded drivetrain/suspension systems. Quadra lift/transfer case control modules are normally installed there.
“We got birds yelling.. they’re not appreciating the content...” 😂😂
Driver side seat storage perfect gun compartment 😂
Draco under the seat at all times lol
@@BJPLIFESTYLE yes but it would take forever to get it out in a situation
I got a flat tire 3 times since having my Jeep since 2014 and it’s 2021 and I just learned about the hook 🤦🏻♂️thanks for that tip .
I’ll let my AAA guy know
Also if you go to the main screen and click apps you have so much user control. Change the color of the screen, features, remote start customization, lights on and off for how ever long you want. If you want the beep on or off when you lock the door, whether it’s 1 or 2 beeps etc….
If the cable breaks for the door to the gas tank it can still be opened by another cable. That is located after taking out the cubby on the left of the trunk, where the flashlight is located. Reach in the metal compartment and another cable is on the right.
It's crazy to see how models make a big difference. I have a trackhawk and some of the features you've shown I don't have
It’s so weird, also the model yeah even though they’re the same year if they were made at a different time lol
Just got my 2018 Jeep SRT TrackHawk 4 Months ago Love it ♥️
Lol....never realized that having a dead FOB would prevent my wife getting into her 2014 Cherokee North. To my surprise, a quick look at the FOB revealed a tiny slide button, that released the actual key to unlock the door. Thanks Buddy ! I think I owe you a subscription !
Appreciate it! Glad it helped
you can pop off the "button" that reveals a square drive. Put the square drive of your dead fob into it, and turn it like a key!
I bet your Owners Manual is still in the shrink wrap, never opened.🙄
Since thieves like to smash and grab, that under seat compartment is a way to put things out of sight and a little more difficult to access.Nice video.😀
You don't have that if you have quadra lift, that underseat area is for the transfer case control and air ride controllers. He obviously has a base model without the upgraded driveline/suspension
Like a pistol.
I seriously had no idea or would've known all these features ever existed !thats why i love my jeep! the little things matter
Right? I love the milk holder under the seat! lol
You know that thing in the glove compartment, that I am sure is still in the shrink wrap, unopened and untouched? Its called an Owners Manual and it tells you all of this. 🙄
The under seat storage is a game changer for me. This made me love my JEEP even more. And I am definitely ordering that mat for the trunk.
Just a thought: If you’re an only driver you can program one of the seat settings to move forward automatically to access the in floor driver’s side hidden storage
where can i purchase the mat for the trunk. I like that too?
@@kburk2a Great question. I'm on it though. When I find out, I will let you know
Just so you know, the under seat "box" is still there on the newer models but with different trim levels it may be full of additional electronics. You do need to be careful what and how you put things in there, but it is a great location for short term valuables hiding! Or your handgun!
@@Rags722 ha that would take to long to get to your weapon
Got a 2021 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland last week, any ideas on how to turn "off" the hot spot/wifi?
There should be a setting in the menu that allows you to manage your subscriptions!
Had my SRT for 6 years now and haven't notice some of the thing you mention. Great information.
Good to hear!
An interesting feature Chryslers has had since the 90s (our 94 Plymouth Voyager used to do it) if you leave your turn signal on for a minute while driving it starts to ding at you to remind you to turn it off. Apparently they still have this feature because I rented a Chrysler Pacifica about a year ago and tried it out and it still has this feature. Only aside from just dinging at you a message comes up telling you to turn the turn signal off. I'm sure this GC has this feature too.
Chrysler 200 2012 put the battery in the fender making it IMPOSSIBLE to change out. I'll NEVER buy another Chrysler for this reason alone. Even AAA will NOT change the battery due to its LUDICROUS location.
Brooooo the hook one in the trunk.... game changing
So convenient lol
@@BJPLIFESTYLE I could have used that last week when I had a blow out
FCA disabled windows rolle down on with key fob for trucks, because some geniuses we're sitting on their keys and roll down their windows in the rain and then blame it with a lawsuit on the manufacturer... if that also applied for Jeep, it can be re-enabled with tools like Alpha OBD, on Ram 1500 it rolls down by double click and hold unlock
1
The Tazer OBD programmer will reenable it and also add a ton more features.
On the 2 cup holders by the shifter, the top one is bigger
That “empty” compartment underneath the driver's seat is occupied by the quadra lift air suspension module for models equipped with it. Like my Jeep! 😁
“No one that short should be driving”
😂 😂 😂
Just bought a 2018 Cherokee Trailhawk.
Thanks for the video 🐶
How much you put down on it?
I can't believe that I've had my GC since 2015 and I had no clue that there was a door lock button on the rear hatch handle! Thanks
Thanks for watching! Glad you found it helpful.
Does it only unlock if the key is near? Or can someone just come along and unlock my vehicle?
Funny thing about the lock button on the rear hatch handle- I was playing with it- pushed it a couple of times and my 2014 GC STARTED !! Scared the heck out of me !!!
FYI the under seat compartment houses the computer and wiring for the air suspension for those of us with it.
Exactly my srt has that
Ugh. That air suspension is junk. I traded my 2020 TrailHawk in for a 2021 Limited X just to get away from that suspension. Get rid of your vehicle before your warranty runs out. 4-5K to fix that suspension WHEN it fails.
@@Dan_Bender not if you learn about it on UA-cam, fairly simple to work on and reliable. Love my 2013
That's where I store my Glock 9 mm and Speer Gold Dot.
Yes however the factory wiring has plenty of slack to relocate under center console now you have a empty space under driver seat. I installed a 8” subwoofer
I didn’t know about the empty storage compartment under the drivers seat.
For the KeyFpb to open all windows.....did you check in the U connect to see if there is a setting in the vehicle window.
Hook to hold the cargo floor cover is a nice touch. I use the cutouts in the foam spacers for the cargo for minor items such as portable battery/jumpstart pack and if your so inclined and want to save interior real estate space the locking wheel lug nut......think of that one for a minute, tire is in the compartment why not keep locking lug right with it.
Did not know about the holding lift gate electric release to lock/unlock all doors.
You got me excited with the Auto stop/start disabling. Thought there might be a secret switch to allow ESS disablement without getting the fail message on the instrument cluster.
Thanks for the tips I learned three new items.
For the windows, you press and hold the open button. If you unlock and press again it won't work.
I didn't know about the key fob up to the push button trick. The reason why is because there's a coil behind the button that induces a small current into the key fob to get the start code. And the spare tire hook. Thanks man!
The lock and unlock buttons on my 2017 roll the windows up and down from the fob. Some are double click or just holding it down. So if you forget to roll your windows up and it starts pouring out. The fob has got your back. Also where my spare tire is I have a midget stripper that jumps out and helps me do my tire change.
Lmao I need one 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Forgot to mention the hidden flashlight in the trunk . It’s located on the left side you’ll have to press on a little divot spot and it pops out
Discontinued after 2017 models....
@@exoticboutique1705 Yeah I searched and searched for the darn thing in our '18 Trailhawk. Lol.
ha ha ha It's not hidden
Mine stopped working! idk why. i never got to use it :/
That flashlight came in handy many times on my 11. The GC and the Grand Caravan had them for years. Such a neat little feature.
The seat goes that far forward I think because if you're camping and lay down the back seats you have full advantage of all the space
Yes that and so you can get into the box ;-)
@@jasonnunez4170 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I drove my 2014 grand Cherokee around Australia. Bed from acf, was enough room for my puppy and I. 2.18mtr long ❤️
It is a good thing because I have dropped my work badge between seat crack and console and had to move seat all the way forward to find it.
*WRONG* !!!!! It was designed that way to have complete access to the battery compartment, (for removal and install ....... DUH ...............
Not for ANY other reason !!!!
I had no idea that there was a lock button on the hatch! I hated having to pull out my FOB when taking stuff out the back. Great Video. I appreciate the tips.
Appreciate the love!
I've had my 2014 GC Summit for 9.5 years and just learned this! How did I not know this?
@BJP Lifestyle - I am curious if you know of an inexpensive, easy way to make duplicates of your key fob? Dealers want a ton of cash just to program new ones. I bought a 2011 Grand a year ago but it only came with one fob. I bought a couple compatible ones online, but they need programmed - any ideas?
Can you update your navigation/gps maps in the dealer screen? Can I load it to a flash drive and upload?
I just picked up a 2021 it’s AWESOME. ✌️
Congrats!
That small black plastic square clip that's flush on the sun visors is to hold a credit card for the drive thru or parking valet ticket, etc.
Defiantly loved the humor! Thanks for the vid, great tips.
What product do you use for cleaning and shining the leather
I enjoyed the video. A couple questions. What % tint do you have?
What brand floor mats do you have?
Did you paint the rims yourself?
Appreciate it! I have 20% on the front two windows to match the back, and the wheels are painted from the factory standard on the Altitude package.
Here’s the floormats: amzn.to/34tAuLM
@@BJPLIFESTYLE thank you!
Remote start the Jeep, then the windows will roll down by holding the unlock button.
Also, when your remote gets old, order another Unprogrammed unit online ($24) then remove the board from the old unit and install in the new shell. Bam! Brand new key fob and no reprogramming fees!
i wondered why people never did this. It never made sense to me to busy a whole new set up when you really just need the case.
Mines not working. I have a 2021 and tried. Am I doing something wrong?
@@ednavarelq3770 for Mopar try by first remote starting the vehicle then press the unlock button twice, but during the second press, hold it down.
Thanks for the video. I didn't know about those cool tips!
To adjust the seat back (instead of holding the button)... you could have used your memory buttons in the door.
That Jeep didn't have memory seats so that was my only way 😂
NOT ALL trim levels have the seat, radio presets, or comfort control on memory circuit !!!
Rhode Islander here…
Ive had my 17 Grand for 3 years and learned a few things. Thanks’
You forgot the secret flashlight in the back on the bottom left hand side near the rear. Press and it pops out.
Where exactly?
Not 2017 onwards . You can see this one doesn't have it
@@EricD_ Left side wall just inside tailgate, just above the small storage cubby. 2015 GC Altitude.
Because you went out of your way to show us useful made me want to subscribe to your Channel 👌🏽
Appreciate you!
On a 2011 GC the key fob doubles as a normal key. Obviously the removable one to get in the car but it you pop off the push start button, you can insert the key fob can turn it like a normal ignition switch
Gotta go with a lot of folks here. That hidden stash place is real and pretty dang cool!
Super cool and informative video for a jeep Grand Cherokee owner!
Appreciate you!
That driver's side bucket actually hold modules for higher trim levels
Thank you for this video. Helped me a ton. ❤
Great Information. Thank you.
Thanks for watching!
I just bought a 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee 3 days ago this is awesome thanks for this Info
Congrats! Hope you’re liking it so far!
I treat my 2014 GC like it’s my child. It’s still in mint condition-not a single scratch or dent in 7 years. I always park at the end of rows and way away from other cars lol. I used to live right next to where I worked, so it only has 18,000 miles. It’s still like a brand new car over 7 years later.
What trim is yours? I just got mine (14 jgc overland 4x4 v8) 5 days ago.. already found out all these cool tricks beforehand but was hoping for more lol.
V8????
Just bought out my 2019 Cherokee and decided to see what things I can mess with being that I'm now the owner which wasn't planned. Thanks pandemic =/ Anyway thanks for this video, almost everything you covered I didn't know about. Gonna watch some more of your videos. =)
Top Man It worked a treat. Thanks.
This is a very informative video ACTUALLY ...thanks for this ACTUALLY
Thanks, i did not know about the space under my seat, a good place for my first aid kit, ammo for your guns, and rags. and the locking the jeep from the back.
You don't have that if you have quadra lift, that underseat area is for the transfer case control and air ride controllers. He obviously has a base model without the upgraded driveline/suspension
@@rabfallon4507, You are correct, I looked.
If you have a Trailhawk, say goodbye to that storage underneath. Instead they have 2 small compartments in the trunk next to the spare tire
Brothers, read the owners manual.
Any cool tips for my 2010 Jeep Grand Cherokee?
If your key fob does die, when you go to unlock the car with the key, it sets the alarm off. Not sure how they didn't think of that when designing it, but to turn off the alarm, you need to press the on switch with the fob like you showed. Just FYI
That's intentional. Its so if somebody picked your lock or used a slim jim the alarm would go off
@@James-tp2zq ahhh good call
Tape a CR232 and a dime (?) to the underside of the bucket under the drivers seat and you can replace the dead battery.
Good to know 🙌👍
Wow! I’ve owned this car for 3 years and never knew any of this stuff lol thanks man
Do you like this vehicle im looking into buying one
@@cassinabowers4128 love it. I don’t use a lot of the features on it, but it’s nice to have the options just in case
@@SquatSimp awesome thank you! I own a Yukon and want something smaller and need 4wheel drive living in Montana with the winters we have.
@@cassinabowers4128 Nice! From what I’ve heard the earlier model years can have some issues (as does any new generation of a car), so I would just look into your model year more specifically. BUT if it is newer you shouldn’t have any issues with it. Best of luck!
@@SquatSimp it would be a 2016
The compartment under the driver seat mine has a little plug in it so I use it as a cooler for my beer when I go camping lol
changed the battery in my 2018 key fob..unlocks the doors etc fine...but still need to manually push the fob on the start button to start the car...also keyless entry stopped working...any ideas?
I bet u didn’t know this...The headrests in the front tilt up from the bottom. I’ve had my altitude for 5 months and just discovered it today lol
So much that nobody knew!!
That's the Weed compartment, says it in the Stoners manual 😜 man I wish I would have got the Jeep with the Hempi 🤣 hehe
how tinted did you get your front windows? did you get anything specific done to them like a gloss as well?
20% on the front two, you can usually ask them to factory match the back and 35% on my windshield!
Thank you never knew most of these
I HAD TO START IT ONCE WITH A DEAD KEYFOB. You actually have to pry the button off and there is a keyhole behind it that you insert the valet key while holding the fob below the button
After 2016 the start button doesn’t come off. You have to put key fob on start button
I love my 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee with the Sterling Edition 25 anniversary
Congrats!!
cool didn't know some of these so thank you very much.. espeically about the dead key fob great information
Hope you enjoyed!
I own keep for 5 years and just know these things thank you
Fun fact, that stash spot is occupied by the air suspension controller if you have Quadra-Lift. Kind of a bummer.
Thanks for that! I got all excited and then saw your warning. :)
Yep and will fill up with water if your sunroof leeks and short out the modules inside
Sometimes the key fob wouldn't unlock the door, but if you touched the door handle it still recognized the fob was there and unlocked the door anyway.
That IS the BEST feature on My Grand Cherokee, (for me ....) Just touch either the front door handles and it UNLOCKS ALL DOORS & REAR HATCH 😁😎👌👍👍👍👍
@@ricks.1318- I just bought a mint '18 Summit and this is seriously one of the BEST and most convenient features! 🤍
(Besides that massive pano roof.) 😉
I purchased 2015 new right from dealer..and now I am realising some new features..lol
Thanks
Enjoy it
Would anyone here know how to enable or does a feature on the Grand Cherokee WK2 exists where if someone tries to lock the doors with the fob or button on handle while a door is open, the car will sound an alert? Numerous times I have noticed I could lock the doors but a door could be wide open and there is no warning. Would be interesting to know if this alert exists and how I could enable it? Thanks
It works on my 2015 press unlock once then the second time you press it even a 3rd Time hold for like 3 secs it'll work let me know windows will go down
The best part is the old man wheeze-laughing. Hey, can you do one on Traction ON/OFF and the Sport Mode feature? Thanks.
What do you want to know about the traction & sport modes?
@@BJPLIFESTYLE I have a 2WD Jeep Grand Cherokee, got stuck with spinning back wheels on ice/slushy snow. Does Traction make a difference in that situation? ... I see that you already did a vid on Sport Mode and acceleration, but it probably doesn't make a difference if one uses manual gear-shifting to accelerate quickly 0 to 60 mph, does it?
Traction control is just going to try and keep your wheels from spinning, automatic gear shifting is generally faster
@@BJPLIFESTYLE wrong my 2014 3.6
Does 0-60 6.7 to 6.9 in manual with sport mode on i can do about 5.3 to5.5
Thanks for your video
Can you please show us where is the integrated central stack or head unit
Great vod keep up the good work bud
Thank you very much! Be sure to like, comment, and subscribe!
The two small hooks on the seat backs and inside the tailgate on the sidewalls are to hang plastic grocery bags from the store.
You can also watch movies on the screen and park if you load movie files onto a USB stick
In park
When the sales lady showed me this I was sold lol
@@mrrogerstown2435 - Just curious, but would this also work to play videos via cellphone, when plugged into USB outlet? (While in Park.) 😉
Dude that's a great stash spot lol
Perfect for hiding a gallon of milk!
@@BJPLIFESTYLE it'll hold a 12 pack of sierra nevada!
You don't have that if you have quadra lift, that underseat area is for the transfer case control and air ride controllers. He obviously has a base model without the upgraded driveline/suspension
@@rabfallon4507 Yes and no. The Altitude is based on the Laredo. But it cost 10k more than a "base model" Honestly, unless you're taking it off road, i dont think you need air suspension, or drive modes. thats my opinion. i own both.
Hello. This is probably a dumb question but can you lift the hatch door window in the 2018 jeep grand cherokee models? I've had a 2001 and 2006 jeep grand cherokee before and that back window lifts but have not figured out if it lifts on the 2018 model.
I think after 2012 or 2014 they stopped them doing that!
How do I open my hatch back on a 2016 Cherokee sport when the key fob doesn’t open it and it doesn’t have that button you showed on the 2018
That compartment is filled with electronics on certain models and you can't store stuff in it. I believe it's quadra lift components.
Oooh probably, good spot for them to put that stuff though!
Yeah i have a Durango snd its filled with electronics so im not sure its quardra lift specific
Same thing with my 2019 GC limited
This video deserves way more likes.
Appreciate the love!
Thank you very much you did bless me.
how can I tell if my 2013 Laredo has the "snow package" and navigation on the alpine full screen radio system? anyone know?
thanks for the tips...just bought the car last week
how do you like it so far how much did you get it for if you don’t mind me asking?
Our driver side on Trailhawk has the air suspension under the driver seat
Yeah I heard that! No milk jug hiding spot for you 😢
Thanks so much. Good info!
I have a question The Gran Cherokee that I have the 2016 4 by 4 and it has a button that says echo off. the echo in this vehicle, when the button is on the off light is activated? Thank you
Dont forget about huge hidden storage comp on top of your USB ports in the front console.
Haha we found that by accident. My boyfriend lost his wallet and swore he put it in the dish as I call it. After searching all over car, backtracking to the store I found it when my pinky brushed it.
I thought my debit card was stolen and got a new one because I forgot I put it there one day 🤣
Once I lost an ounce of weed and found it a month later in there lmaoo
@@mikeab2871 Why drink and drive ; when you can get high and fly....
Just bought a Jeep Grand Cherokee 2016 anniversary edition fully loaded and blacked out 😇
Awesome, congrats! How do you like it so far?
@@BJPLIFESTYLE I love it because it looks just like the 2020 and has the coolest lights with a panoramic sun roof
I've got same. I was almost going to trade it in, I've had it 4 years now. I couldn't do it.
Thank you!
Great set of links to items! Thanks
Thanks for watching!
These fun things are available in the owners manual. The window roll down stopped in 2011/2012 models due to a lawsuit.
It's just amazing what you can discover about your vehicle when you use it! 🤣
How do I use the headlight washer fluid? I did it once and it was a surprise. Please let me know if you do know how
I have a 2018 jeep renegade sport model what buttons do I press to get into my model ??
Got a 2021 Trailhawk....thing is a damn beast. Thanks for the tips!
Como la conseguiste? En los concesionarios ni saben de la existencia de ese modelo..

I’m calling the cops... straight to jail
@@BJPLIFESTYLE Smh
That's the first place they look !
@@BJPLIFESTYLE snitch lol
🤣😅😆 Right
Thank you for the information. I bought my car used and don’t have a manual. Is there a way to open the back window? Thanks again
On the newer models of the GC you can't open the back window!
I miss that feature on the GCs. An opening rear window came in handy for hauling long items like 2x4s.
I just wanna know if it would be possible to add a button to the hatch to make it automatic to close and open?
