The normal place I have my keys are 19.6 feet (6 meter) But it happens very few times I put my keys at the kitchen where I have my wallet and thats a lot closer to the car. around 10 feet (3 meter) Because of the very odd nature of the problem (two times in 6 month) this could be the problem, but I guess it will take time to prove this, else I could try to put my keys some day I don't need the car and can then charge it up after if needed. Thanks alot for that!

The thing is that it is sporadic (two times in 6 month is very sporadic) that's why I asked for help if anyone know of a service bulletin about that kind of problem on 2014 diesel models. If you read my post a bit more careful I think you understand the nature of the problem. I work with electronic and construct things, if it was as easy as in the vid the problem would been solved long ago. Sounds you don't believe what I say, thats kinda rude. English not my native and sorry if you don't understand what I am trying to say here.

The amp test work if the problem is all the time, not a problem that show up 2 times during a 6 month period. It's impossible to know what day the amp drain problem will be.

was 6 month between the problem to showed up. I only recall that I quickly changed the location of the car the day before, drove like 5 meter only. Next day drained battery at 9V Not sure I can reproduced that, but it's like the car gets ready to drive and turn all stuff on and if you then quickly turn it off it doesn't turn off all the functions and something is still on, even if everything looks normal. Is it only me that can hear a buzzing high pitch sound from the motorhood right after you exit the car for 1 minute before it goes away? (guess around 12.000 Hz)

Nothing connected in any of the 12V outlet. The alternator and regulator is working I think, when I measure with engine on I got 13.x Volt. When I check the battery nothing looks wrong with the cables. To me it feels like the sound system , or Radio is not really turned off in some odd circumstances and drain the battery during the night. Or maybe the particle filter for the diesel that heats up some random times, accidently startup when the car is turned off? Just guessing now. Must be something that really can drain a fully loaded battery over a night.

yes, but I measure without running motor to get an accurate reading.

Hi. 6 month between each dead battery First time I tolled the car to the service place and they charge my battery and that was all.. I made very long trips with the cars just a few days ago so it was fully charged and now battery dead, starting perfect one day battery showing 12-13V and next day 9V and car refuse to start just showing all kind of strange error message, they all go away if I charge the battery !!! (using this to see my battery level, kinda crappy the car UI don't have that function: http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Free-Shipping-Mini-DC-12V-24V-Car-Digital-LCD-Engine-Battery-Voltage-Electric-Meter-Monitor-Indicator/1245081077.html ) There must be some technical stuff draining my battery and it happens very random. There is not external stuff connected. What kind of service bulletin is there for the 2014 Limited edition. VIN: 3C4PFBCY9ET316565 (I have latest RADIO and GPS software installed) I hope you can help me and tell me what to do or what to tell my service center todo, I don't feel they will have the knowledge to fix this odd problem.

Goto the page and send me a message with your VIN number (located at left corner of driverlocation, looking from outside of the car, windshield) need the last 8 characters and numbers) and I can check if its different from the version I have on the page. Or.... press the: temp up (red) & down (blue) & defrost buttons at the same time for 9 sec, when your car is in "run" mode (press RUN two times without breakpedal) Then enter radio menu and check the version and compare to the version I have for download.

Yes its for both 8.4 and 8.4N and there is one update only for 8.4N aswell (it update the garmin system only) The logo will not change. I wish I could change the logo, and put my own there

I made this page to help people download the software: https://sites.google.com/a/pantad.com/freemont-firmwares/

My freemont -14 was deliverd with alpine sound system 380 W, 5.1 subwoofer, the sound quality is awsome! I mostly play .MP3 files or stream music directly from spotify (from my iphone6)

I would recomend using your mobilephone running the free app: Waze All roads in the world, live update, live traffic rerouting, live police controlls and its free.

I would update the garmin / navigation system software and see if it fix the problem. https://sites.google.com/a/pantad.com/freemont-firmwares/

Glad I could help out, I guess some don't even know they can update the car.

You can easy update your uconnect your self: http://www.dodgejourneyforum.com/topic/6471-uconnect-84-84n-update-firmware/
