2015 Jeep Patriot Latitude (Granite)
Modifications
Drivetrain
added new ground cables and ferrite beads to reduce radio interference from the sparkplug and injector DC wires.
Interior
Changed the center dome light to a double aviation-style light plus added another double aviation light for the rear passengers. Ran radio coaxes, audio, plus DC wires to the head liner. Mounted a DC panel, push-button switch, 15A breaker in the rear cargo area; the panel provides a volt meter, 2 USB jacks, and cigarette-style 12V jack.
Exterior
Mounted 2 radio antennas and 2 cargo tie points on the roof.
After reading forum complaints, to prevent water in the head liner, i added a silicone seal to the washer fluid hose grommet as it enters the ceiling under the rear tail-gate hatch.

Audio
Amateur Radio and a scanner.
Wheel and Tire
I had to add Disc Brake Squeek Stop behind ALL brake pads to eliminate the squeel when backing up slowly; a cronic Patriot and Compass problem. After reading other guys bad dealer service Pat stories, i did it myself!
