Is there a way to hack the car's system to get it to display the phone's screen? (Or to activate the Nav feature without giving the dealership an arm and leg?) This isn't really an issue for me, but she depends heavily on the directions from her phone.

I'm fairly tech savvy and I was sure that she was doing something wrong, but be damned, under those set of circumstances, the iMap directions will not play through the car's speakers (nor will it play through the phone's speaker because the phone thinks it is paired with a device that has speakers). (From my research it appears that it doesn't.) I told her for that price you could get a tablet and use iMaps or Google maps AND do all the other shite a table can do.Īt any rate, she's noticed that when her iPhone is paired with the vehicle, while she's listening to XM Radio, and she wants to use Siri to get directions, the voice will not come through the speakers. She didn't opt for the Navigation download at the dealership because they wanted $695 to activate it and couldn't even confirm whether or not that included future updates.


So, my mother recently purchased a Jeep Cherokee with the 8.4A (?) main touchscreen.
