    What the title says. Basically I have all the bells and whistles on the 2020 Off-Road except the Multi Terrain Monitor that comes with Advanced Tech Package. Has anyone ever heard of a dealership being able to add something like that?

    Google has yielded mixed results. I shot a few dealers some e-mails but haven’t heard anything yet.

    It’s not a money question, just wondering if anyone has even heard if it’s even possible?

    Anything is possible with enough money so it actually is a money question ;-)

    Possible yes, but it would be cheaper to trade it in on a truck with the package you want. It would require new mirrors, new grille, the wiring, possibly a new head unit, all the labor would be at book rate a the dealers hourly rate and they would probably not be very kind to you on parts either. Plus it likely wouldn’t be covered by the factory warranty as it isn’t factory installed equipment.

    Dealers can't even figure out low trans oil. Highly doubt they'll be able to swap/ program body modules and reliably read schematics and pinouts. It's so far over their heads it's not even possible imo.

    Probably, but very expensive, I'm guessing. I asked about factory remote start after the fact and they said $600-800. Much cheaper aftermarket options to do the same thing.
