The app honestly upsets me because of the monthly costs. The Jeep is expensive enough.
I agree. Cheers.
As usual great presentation and info. I have a 2020 JLU (built in Canada) and got curious about what I was missing.. In the US the first thing you need is a SIRIUS XM Guardian plan. Not knowing any better I switched my XM from my previous vehicle (not guardian). I got a headache talking to them on the phone and decided I could pass on the App sight unseen. Glad I did. You made it cleat that I did not need it! Keep up the good work!
Hello George,
I'm glad you found the video helpful!
Cheers.
Thanks Dino, great video as always. Glad to know the cost, the features and the over bearing terms of use. I never got that far because the salesman and his manager at the dealership spent more time fussing with the App on my phone and the associated settings in my new Wrangler than anything else during the pick up/deliver process. Big turn off for me and I deleted the App that same day.
Yeah. Makes me wonder if there is some type of bonus for them. Stellantis may make a lot of money from the data they collect. Who knows. After learning what I learned and having made the video, I deleted mine as well.
Thanks for this information! I just purchased my very first jeep wrangler Willy’s (2024 ) and the salesman informed me about this app and I was wondering how it worked and the cost thanks again!!!
Awesome. I’m glad you found the video helpful. Enjoy your new Willys. Cheers
one of my previous JLRs has remote start. THAT was brilliant! The BMW app does similar and some, plus it's free! An example is you can plan a route on your desk computer then send it to the car!
Cool. I guess BMW feels that since they are making money from the data they collect off of you, the least they can do is let you use the app for free.
What kind of car company would make money from the data they collect off of you, and also make YOU pay for the app?
Great information!
Thank you for the feedback. Much appreciated. Cheers

I’m glad you purchased a jeep again looks like I have some videos to catch up on.
Thank you. Please check them out, and let me know what you think. Cheers.
I really resent the idea and cost of these subscriptions but I'm afraid it will be widespread and mandatory in the very near future. I wonder if the Cancel Engine feature makes it harder for thieves to steal. Maybe they have a way of working around it by connecting to the onboard computer. My wife's vehicle forces you to subscribe to a service in order to use remote start. Although, it is handy for starting the vehicle from much farther away. Another great video, Dino. So glad you bought another wrangler and I should have mentioned early how sweet the ceramic coating looks.
Hey Randy,
Thanks for the feedback.
I can’t wait for the spring to give the Jeep a much needed wash. lol.
Cheers.
Jeep app is free for me. I transferred from the Mopar app. I don’t have access to all the additional features that you have, like start/stop and vehicle tracking. I can just see my garage, 2021 JLUR, and see service records plus schedule service. Jeep Wave and Sirius too. 🎉
Cool. I think I am learning the Jeep app has certain functions that will still work should you not pay the subscription fee.
Thanks Dino, good presentation. Curious, if you can explain, how the car communicate with the phone, if you are far away?
Thank you for the feedback on the video. I believe it communicates over the cell network. Cheers.
Good overview. Thanks, Dino. For me, I love my Jeep. I am NOT a fan of our local Jeep dealer’s maintenance. I hate that I would have to (1) pay a fee, and, (2) use Sirius XM. A deal killer for me. Thanks again.
I know what you mean.
On my 2018 JL, I learned how to do most of the maintenance myself.
I made a playlist on how to do most of the maintenance items if you are interested.

It saved me thousands of dollars in maintenance labour charges.
Cheers.
@@CheaperJeeperTV thank you, really appreciate it!
Good stuff Dino. Thanks for sharing info on the app. Sucks that it crashed on you. Some really cool features though, especially if you are letting folks drive your jeep. I certainly wouldn't pay the subscription fee though.
Yes, I also thought the App had great features, but yes, the monthly fee was a deal breaker for me, for sure.
Cheers
Great video - The third party getting data bothers me as well as the price. It's too expensive for what you get.
I agree. Also, I am doing another video soon on the Jeep collecting our data. Cheers.
Very well thoughtout and thorough review on this app. Do you happen to know if the app works on 2018 JL Jeeps too?
Thank you for the feedback on the video. The 2018 JL has the Uconnect four system, the 2024 JL has the Uconnect five, and that’s the system on which I used the app. So I can’t say with certainty, if the JEEP app will work on the Uconnect for system, even though online the JEEP app was out Since 2021. You would think that it might work. You could try getting set up and do the three month trial membership to see if it will work.
@@CheaperJeeperTV Thanks for the information!
On my 2022 JLU I got the app for free for the first year. It’s owned by Sirius xm and they regular email me offering it for 18.99 a month. I agree with you they get data and we pay, far too expensive when you consider the price of a new JLU. If jeep offered it as part of a new vehicle I would be happy as I do miss the lock unlock feature in particular…of course nothing is free so the cost of the jeep would just go up. You can still use the health recall functions which is pretty good.
Hey Chris,
Thanks for sharing. I’ve been reading up on the data they take and am considering doing a follow up video about it. You may find the information helpful. Stay tuned.
Cheers
Maybe in Canada you could be liable for damages to someone for protecting ypur property, but in most states (except maybe CA IL NY) in the US you can protect your property. Sorry you can't protect you and your stuff. That's sad.
Love your content and great tips.
Thank you for the feedback on the content. Cheers.
I received the app for free with my new car for one year. However, I don't see some of the features like status, engine disengagement, etc. But, I can still start, stop, lock, unlock, and locate my car, among other features. The problem is that the fuel status is not accurate. For example, my tank is full, but the app shows it as half full. Previously, with my Jeep Grand Cherokee, I also received the app for free for a year. Honestly, I don't find anything particularly impressive that would justify paying this price in Canada, which is almost $27 monthly
I agree. Thanks for sharing. Cheers.
Some luxury vehicle car companies began charging for remote start apps a while back and removing that option from the key fob. This has now become somewhat of a standard practice with with quite a few brands now, which to me is just another money grab.
I agree. At least the Jeep still has the key fob still works. Cheers.
I had that app when I had new jeeps but once the free trial ran out I didn’t renew it,a little too expensive and the privacy issues
Yep. That’s what I thought as well. Thanks for sharing. Cheers.
Great information! I did notice when I picked up my 2024 Jeep Wrangler that they had recently changed this app. I remember using a Mopar app before on my old Jeep. The new app is nice, but for some reason it still shows an old Jeep I have in my garage, even though I removed it from my Mopar garage online. Any ideas how to remove a vehicle from the garage in the app?
You have highlighted a problem that I had forgotten to mention in the video. If I don’t remove the link of the app to the vehicle, and then sell the vehicle, my app is still going to be linked to the vehicle, even if somebody else buys the vehicle. Therefore, I would be able to have control over that vehicle. In the terms and conditions, it states that it would be my responsibility to ensure that I remove the connection of the app to the vehicle, a slight problem I see occurring down the road. In your case, if your old Jeep is on your phone app, you are still able to start it and unlock it from your phone, even though you do not own it anymore. 😮
@@CheaperJeeperTV Yes in my case, I had found 2 old Jeeps on the app. One of them I was able to remove when I sold it (but didn't realize it was still there until after I took delivery of my new Jeep). However, there's another Jeep still on the app. I can't remote control it or anything because it's no longer around. It's my daughter's old Jeep she totaled over a year ago. I'm wondering how to remove it. That Jeep probably is in pieces somewhere long gone by now.
Yes. I’ve read in the forums of other owners with the same issue, as well as some other glitches. Hard pass for me after this review. lol
Thanks for showing the Jeep app. i do like the features but not when you have to blindly give your life away to them and still pay a monthly fee.
Yep. I'm of the same school of thought. Thanks for sharing.
Cheers.
My gladiator came with 1 year of Sirius Xm and guardian. 3 months must be something new.
The JEEP app is something new I believe. There was a Uconnect app that this is someone similar to.
Cheers
@@CheaperJeeperTV they just recently made me switch to the jeep app from unconnect. If I hit the unconnect app it goes directly to jeep now
Do you need to pay just to be able to self start? Or is that for the other features within the app?
You can start using the app for free, but apparently at the three month mark you are supposed to pay a subscription fee if you wish to continue using the app. Mine started asking me to accept the new privacy policy early, so I just stopped using the app. I’ve also read online some reviews where people state it’s difficult to cancel The subscription.
I think we can get you a nice Tri City Jeep Club sticker, with a great, low monthly subscription fee;)
That at least would be worth it! 😆
Cheers
Does the Jeep app work with older JL’s? My son has a 2019 and I think he would be interested in this. How much does the app cost to continue to use with full features.
I believe it’s about $30 US per month.
Wow! That’s expensive
you mentioned you would put the cost in the description, but i'm not seeing it :( Thanks for the video
The last I checked, it's $14.99 a month.
I’m reading on line from some sources that the subscription fee for the Jeep App is somewhere around $20 US/month.
Thanks, and It's unfortunate that Jeep is doing this.
Practically all people who have commented feel the same way.
Thanks for sharing.
Cheers
It’s a good app but you have to pay for it to use it. But it still gives information read outs even if you don’t opt to pay for it
Are you saying that someone ops not to pay for the app that it would still work?
@@CheaperJeeperTV you can’t start the jeep or locate it but it gives you the read outs of oil and gas tank etc
Ohh. I wish I had that bit of info in the video. I’ll have to include it as a subscriber tip in the next video. Thanks. Cheers
@@CheaperJeeperTV no problem anything I can do to help
Hello 😢 can u help me..? My wrangler suddenly didn’t work remote start .. may I know that reason. Please and thank you 🙏
Hello, there are a few reasons why the remote start might not work for you. Do a google search for "remote start not working JLWranglerforum". There are a lot of threads on the subject.
@@CheaperJeeperTV as always your the best jeep friend ✌️
Было интересно, спасибо.
По поводу сбора информации - наверное это написано для юридической безопасности. Скорее всего карты всегда собирают данные и им пришлось добавить пункт про сбор информации в приложение тоже.
Hey there,...I agree with you!
For my other viewers, I had taken the liberty to translate for you what the above viewer wrote...
" Hey CheaperJeeperTV, your's is the best Jeep channel on the internet! I suggest to everyone that they like, share, and subscribe!"
@@CheaperJeeperTV Ha, ha, ha, sure that's what he said... 😉😉😉
🤷🏻♂️
I dont understand how this is different than the uconnect app. Is this a replacement? I like the uconnect while it was free but not gonna pay for it. My wife's Kia makes you pay for a similar app after a trial period. These auto manufacturers are WAY too greedy!
I totally agree. I’m reading on line from some sources that the subscription fee for the Jeep App is somewhere around $20 US/month.
This is just an updated version of the Uconnect app that came with new Jeeps the last couple years. Depending on the model you bought ,you got Sirius radio and U connect for a year or more,with the Guardian for a year .Really looks like All they’ve done is call it Jeep app instead of Uconnect or Uconnect Guardian,and added a few extra features, and reduce the free trial length.
I think you are right. @@LookJohnItsaRubicon
@@CheaperJeeperTV is it too late to return the jeep to the dealer for a full refund?🤓
No way! The Jeep is great. The App maybe not too much. lol
Thank you for reviewing this, I wasn't aware. It's just plain creepy IMO. We Americans are getting kind of sensitive to this intrusive watchfulness. I'd prefer a little LESS computerized stuff on my '18 Rubi, not more. So a definite NO to the app for me. But I'm envious of that front camera yours has, think I'd like one of those. Cheers!
It is meant for the trail, and I hope to use it in the spring in that way, but it does help when I park up to a wall for those urban challenges. 😆
As for the app, I won’t miss it.
Hard NO.. nice try Big Brother
I agree. However, there are other big brother features to other apps that we may have on our phones. It’s just that we’re not gonna be paying $20 US per month for it as you would have to, if you subscribe to the JEEP app.
The app is trash and doesnt update regularly. Very buggy and unreliable. For its price, it should be much better.
The cost and the way they acquire and use our private information is my main concern.
You are correct. Not only do they want premium prices, but they are also selling our data as well. Jeep is on another level of greed @@CheaperJeeperTV
