Hi Sota, unfortunately I’m rarely up your way. The 2007 and the 2008 share a lot of the same electronics though, so maybe you could be lucky.

You can download JScan from the Apple or Google app stores for free and run it on Demo Mode for the 08 KK and see what you think.

To read a vehicle, you would need one of these Bluetooth OBD2 dongles: https://a.co/d/4qJQ8Be

JScan’s free mode lets you see a lot of data from the Jeep, but if you want advanced features like 2-way communication it would be $21 to purchase a license for your VIN.

I don’t know, could you pretend to be an 08 for the app? It would be cool if you could. But if your Autel can’t do it, I don’t know if this could. Maybe you can get an indication from the free mode if it can’t parse the 07 data. Worse case scenario you have just spent $31 on a Bluetooth dongle you can use to run the Torque app.
One thing i've been learning over the past couple of years with it, is that Autel isn't the be all end all for tools. It's a good tool, but it's far from perfect, especially on "older" stuff.

Last day before I go back to work, sun is shining and almost no wind. Thought I'd tackle the lights, the plastic is badly burnt so they are even worse than normal.
I'm sanding them down and putting 2k clear on to see if that's any better, high level brake light is all foggy too so it's getting the same.

I've tried similar things before but I get fed up with having to do it every year, if that lasts 2 years then it's better than most. I'm hoping 2k will be a bit more permanent + I have a parts Jeep if it all goes horribly wrong, reading online 2k is either the best thing ever or the worst depending on the thread!

Drained the radiator, changed the upper radiator hose, flushed the coolant with distilled water, replaced the thermostat, and am.now having a horrible time trying to loosen the coolant bleeding nut to let air bubbles out, it's over heating now :/

Don't boil it, bad things happen to the valve seats on the v6 if it gets hot!
