Any issues with your cup holder lights? Mine only lights half way around the driver side.
I just installed a trailer brake controller today and I installed the remote knob in the console, so I had the cup holder out. there are 2 connectors for the light, one of yours probably isnt connected. The cupholder just lifts out, held in by 4 clips, If you want to check that first, it is easy to do. One of the connectors for the ambient light in my Limited was not fully seated when we got it and would flicker. Build assembly seems to be a bit lacking from what I see/hear so far

Good to know. Is it hard to take that part apart?

I actually took the cup holder apart and that was the issue. The plug was loose for the passenger side portion. Thanks for all the help
Glad it was an easy fix. I had the same issue with one of the ambient light sections and didnt want to take it back to the dealer for something little.....Now if I can only get the truck to remember my memory settings. Seesm to lose them every few days.....

Picked this up on Monday and so far so good. Wish they put fog lights on this but otherwise no complaints.

I have the same exact spec color and all. Looks good! Just had mine tinted as well. I really do wish it had fogs as well. I started a thread about it on this forum. I would go as far as purchasing a factory set if it’s a plug and play type install but my only concern would be the factory switch for them on the interior as ours wouldn’t have the same setup.

Congrats! The tinted windows make it look so much better. I'm sure as there will be some fog light options for us Altitude owners as more of these start showing up on the road. It's nice that there aren't many of L's on the road at least not yet.

Congratulations! I love the B/W combo! We just placed an order for the same spec with the 2nd row bench and tow group. We're expecting an early November delivery, so hopefully we're still one of the few GCL's on the road by then.

Hi
No homelink garage door opener and third row floor mat for my altitude. Is it the same for you please?
I was watching a YT review of the Altitude today when I saw one of the comments mention that HL was not available on the Laredo/Altitude trim - quite an oversight IMO, especially considering all of the other tech & safety features that come standard. Also bugs me that all windows aren't auto up/down. Interesting that a third-row floor mat is not included, but I think we'll be replacing them with all weather mats shortly after delivery.

Yeah the lack of Homelink is driving me nuts right now in my Altitude. Just going to order a Homelink Mirror I think and install it myself

It would’ve been nice as my previous gen included it

Let us know if you are able to do it. Hopefully no programming will be required.

Just as an FYI, once you hit the Limited trim, you get "Universal Garage Door Opener" standard. I have the same thing on my JLUR in the sun visor. Still surprised that's not a standard feature in any vehicle these days.

Hi, I have a Grand Cherokee L Altitude as well. I have been driving around for a few weeks now and I'm not sure if the forward collision automatic braking feature is working or not. I know it's not safe to test it but on my previous car (Acura RDX), the warning flashed when approaching a stopped car at a pretty good distance. Has the car braked on it's own for anyone else?
