    Looking at this more, I think the dealer custom did this. My car is in for service right now but I'll take pictures when I get it back. Looks like it was just relocated to the outer side of the cover--it's on the underside so you can't really see it, but I'm betting someone cut that hole out and just moved the connector there. So, there may not be a part number for this...

    Thanks! I was able to get the display button working for passenger tach/speed working again. I sprayed a very small amount of wd40 on the button frame. Voila! Lol.

    As far as the TPMS sensor failure goes I stopped at my friends tire shop who deals with lots of exotics...they tested the tpms batteries with a handheld device. All came back normal. He said sometimes they fall asleep if the car has been stored or not driven in a long time. He put all my tires to nearly zero pressure, filled them back up with nitrogen and did a tpms reset on my dash. So far so good...no lights. I will update as I drive the next few days.

    Not every day but it’s a good habit. The car eats a lot of battery when not in use. The engine needs a lot of battery to start. I had problems with the second start after not being plugged in. First time always started. Then drove to a store or something. Would come back a few minutes later and bam, stuck with the car not turning over. Fun fact, when the battery is weak, the glove box automatically pops open on purpose when trying to start the car!

    Mine if not plugged throws stupid code , potentially won’t let the trunk open. It’s random and not reliable even with a new battery

    Def don't have to plug it in every day I have let it go for at least 10 days in the past, but YES a good habit to get into , just plug it in after use its not worth the potential headaches, it literally takes me 10 seconds

    so if you used it as a daily driver, would the battery be able to keep up?
    what if you just installed a bigger/stronger battery?

    Any secret to getting the phone to connect to Bluetooth? I get through the entire process and it says connection failed. Stock 2012 dodge caravan radio. Lol.

    Got the phone connected. If anyone else has trouble it connected much easier through the menu, system setup, device pairing than trying to hit the phone button and voice your way through it.

    I couldn't pair my Samsung phone because the battery level of the phone was down to 12%.
    As soon as I connected it to the charger (smokers kit) it paired without a problem using voice command.

    the blue one is the one i just traded in. mechanically perfect. i agree..its a lot of blue..but my wife loved it! all subjective i guess. mechanically, its perfect for anyone looking for a deal. hard to compare a 2015 with a panaramic roof and every option with a 2012 at similar price. happy to answer any questions on the car. trying to help a fellow member purchase it...that dealership is tough! i know the owner...bought his lusso.

    After looking at the pictures some more, initially I was a tad overwhelmed with the blue, but I’m starting to see the appeal. That is a really, really neat spec!

    I dig the blue interior as long as it's a darker color. I just bought a bianco italia exterior/blu navy interior FF with black dash and I think it looks great.
