PE Spare Tire

Are you sure about that as recently here on the forum, it's been announced that heated seats ARE included with manual, and in the sport as I just selected safety and convenience option with the sport 5spd on the configurator and there it was listed and the price, $650.

Best I could tell you is to get one of these guys that JUST ordered a Sport with Safety and Convenience Package and get their VIN number and put it in that website that shows the windowsticker for that particular VIN number.

The configurator also used to list the Alarm System for both Convenience and Sound packages, but if you ordered both they adjusted $50, I think it was, off the Sound package price.

They really need to get the configurator fixed so it agrees with what is available at the dealers to avoid confusion and hard feelings. Disclaimers are nice, but still.

Sorry for the confusion. What I meant is that I read elsewhere that you are right about no seat heaters with the $400 package for the Sport.

If you didn't order your car with the spare tire option expect to pay about $1,000 dollars at the dealer to retro-fit your car. No kit is available according to Chrysler, all the parts have to be ordered individually. Why a spare tire isn't standard equipment is a question Chrysler/Fiat needs to answer and there should be a law against this practice.

It appears to be more common than you think and not just for Chrysler, but many makes now do this and while I agree, it SHOULD be standard but it isn't always. Didn't used to be like this as pretty much everyone had a spare, even Fiat back in the day and they were stowed up in the engine compartment of all places.

Found out that the 'TireFit' sealant alone is $68 for a 400ml bottle! I bought the spare, etc. Ran me about $500 parts and installation. I have a new, complete, unused TireFit kit (pump and sealant) on eBay (item ID: 180901828028), bids starting at $60.00.
