They're hideous looking but I had to pick something. They don't have the Granite Pocket Machined wheels like on my 22, anymore. So I may buy a used extra set to put on the car.
The other two choices were worse - plain black 10-spoke or matte silver 5-spoke. Come to think of it I should have just gotten the standard (free) black 10-spoke and spent the $1095 on an extra set of Granite wheels. And yes, it's to late to alter the existing order. The first wheel is the wheel that is on the order. The black one is the standard wheel and the silver is the other optional wheel. Last edited by njsteve; 11-08-2022 at 10:52 AM. |

So I thought of this thread yesterday. I was at a wedding Saturday night and a young guy had his new challenger stolen from the hotel parking lot we all stayed at. Cops told him they get stolen all the time and was probably long gone and stripped by the time he reported it. He was concerned about getting another.

Yes, they supposedly issued a update to the security system but dealers have no clue how to do it. It blocks any duplicate key fobs from be initialized.
One thing every owner should do is disable the auto unlocking capability - That annoying option that unlocks your door when you walk up to the car. Like they think we are too lazy to push a button on the keyfob? You just go to your dashboard and turn it off in the settings. If you don't, it is sending out your key fob signal at all times awaiting a response from your keyfob. The theives have a laptop program that captures this signal and boosts it enough to actually activate the ignition off it. Last edited by njsteve; 11-08-2022 at 10:53 AM. |

Interesting info about the walk up door unlock "feature". Now I need to see if there is a way to turn mine off.

I think it may be called something like "passive unlocking"?

Thanks, Steve. It's a Honda, so who knows what it's called. No heading that seems to relate in OM, so posted the Q on a CR-V forum.

The order is confirmed by Dodge on their tracking website. So that's at least a confirmation that the order is in process.

What's the plan with the "22 Steve? Are you trading it in or is your son taking possession?

Can't afford the two so I'll either trade her in if they give me a decent price (with the sales tax credit, too) or sell her outright. She has all of 1,113 miles on her now.
She's a rare piece - last time I checked she was 1 of 9 svelte-body Redeyes produced in the Octane red with red interior. Last edited by njsteve; 11-18-2022 at 11:58 PM. |
