I took my 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee to the dealer for service and asked them to update my navigation software because it didn’t have some new streets on it. They said they could do it for $400, or I could do it myself for $140. Of course, I chose the $140 option. Well, it turned out to be $165.57, plus a lot of time, waiting, hassle, and pain. Here are the “simple” instructions on how to do it–70 “easy” steps:
