Has anyone installed an EVIC (not OTIS) in a 2002 KJ?
I installed an EVIC (56042756AG) in my 2002 Limited. I added the temperature sensor up front and five TPMS sensors and everything works as expected. My EVIC came from a junked Chrysler 300M. Most of the functions work correctly, but I am unable to do the key-fob changes to things like door...- beartard

Help recommend me a HU
I just put in a JVC KD-R900 JVC KD-R900, mostly for two reasons: I already had a JVC HD-radio box, and it had a remote, wired microphone for bluetooth. Yes, you're also not the only one anal about headunit colors. It replaced a JVC in-dash DVD player, the KD-AVX40, that was nice, expensive...- beartard

High mileage club
'02 Limited, 108kmi Other than regular maintenance and recalls (ball joints), the only thing that's gone wrong is the A/C condenser. Couldn't be happier with the thing.- beartard

installing a steering wheel....
It's the difference between a $15 rental at a parts place and maybe a $20 purchase. The choice is yours. If you're not lucky enough to have the one chrysler uses, make sure you get a 6" 'gear puller' with hooks on the ends rather than a "universal" steering wheel puller, which uses threaded...- beartard

anyone install EVIC in an 02 sport?!?! getting frustrated here
04Liberty said it right. Two EVICs with the same part number can behave differently in your Liberty if they were originally meant for other cars. My 02 Limited has an EVIC from a 300M in it. I bought it because of the tire pressure sensors. All the normal stuff works, but the "programmable"...- beartard

HOW TO: modify your A/C heater control
I'll just say that the heat coming at me was definitely greater with the '05 controls installed than with the '02 controls put back in. It might not be scientific, but it was definitely hotter than usual, even for outside air. :) -
HOW TO: modify your A/C heater control
I tried, but I had one-and-a-half problems. The major problem was that, even on the bluest setting, the thermostat wouldn't shut the heat off completely. The other is I could never get my A/C to work, but I've since discovered I have a leak that needs fixing somewhere. -
HOW TO: modify your A/C heater control
Good work, guys. I wish those '05 controls would work on my '02. -
What is better, In-Channel Deflectors or Stick On?
I got some in-channel myself. The previous owner had some of the external ones and I think the in-channel set looks so much better. I think mine are made by "Wade." But even the in-channel shades have a sticky surface you're supposed to let cure to the rubber in the channel for a few days...- beartard

Gas Overflowing?
To the OP, does your locality require vapor-recovery hoses at gas pumps? I've never had mine overflow, but the pumps here definitely stop a lot more quickly than places I've been without them.- beartard

Transfer case swap (beyond the mechanical)
I just bought a lower-mileage-than-mine 242 transfer case with the intention of swapping out my 231 model. It's an '02 Liberty Limited. I've read the HOWTO on swapping out the transfer case, as well as the relevant bits of the service manual and the Haynes manual. So I feel pretty good about...- beartard

Best satellite radio integration
Most Chrysler radios can integrate with mopar's sirius kit, but it's prohibitively expensive, especially with much cheaper and better alternatives out there. If I'm not mistaken, your RBQ could get a "sirius upgrade" with mopar's kit for $300-400. This would be the same for most factory...- beartard

Another EVIC/TPMS question. Dealership sucks.
Just my final update in case any lurkers read this and want to do it later. Got new tires installed. Sensors were put in for free. Everything works fine as far as TPMS goes. Training the sensors did not give a horn-chirp, unlike some how-tos said.- beartard

Reverse rear view mirror tilt
Must be an update since the early days of the KJ. In older Chrysler vehicles, the mirror tilt feature was provided by the seat-memory module for those who had it installed. It's the system that "knows" which driver is using the vehicle by the keyfob he's carrying. When you unlock the car, the...- beartard

New Head unit
Looks good! The hidey-hole is pretty much useless anyway. It's too narrow for most anything, and so deep you could lose anything that *would* fit in it. The only good thing about it is that the headunit sits further back and you don't have to use the bezel that came with the radio.- beartard
