A Jeep owner who was extremely confused when starting his car and seeing the Fiat logo ended up discovering a secret about automakers.
The unusual incident was shared by a Reddit user, who posted a video of a Jeep Compass experiencing a slight identity crisis.
In the clip, you can see that as soon as he starts the car, the multimedia screen turns on. But instead of the Jeep symbol, what appears is the Fiat logo.
“The radio forgot which car it was in,” joked the user in the post’s caption. But how did this happen? Actually, it’s quite simple.
Both Jeep and Fiat belong to Fiat Chrysler, now Stellantis, and their products use the group’s Uconnect infotainment platform.
When comparing the software of vehicles from two different Stellantis brands built during the same period, there is a strong chance they are almost identical.
While this occurrence is not exactly common, it can happen in cars that share the same software, as is the case with Stellantis brands.
