Used this video as a guide for installing this Uconnect upgrade head unit on a 2014 Jeep GC. Hands and arms were in the way of the most critical connections and should have been done with the camera in a different position. Exactly how the connectors come apart depends on seeing which part needs to be pushed while pulling the connector apart. But, I am no expert in doing these kinds of installs and I figured it out! Thanks for doing this video! What I could see and hear was very helpful. I would not have attempted this install without reviewing this video a few times. Thanks so much taking the time to do it!
No problem at all! Thank you for the feedback. Those antenna connectors on the back of the radio are pretty small and unfortunately fingers tend to be twice their size. We're glad you were successful!!
hello good video .. I have a grand cherokee 2014 this does not have gps .. I would like to put the car play .. is it necessary to change the stereo or not?
We do have a UAQ upgrade for the Cherokee as well. However, the Jeep Cherokee is one of the FCA vehicles that has FIAT based programming to the body control module. The other vehicles are the Chrysler 200, and Jeep Compass. For some reason these vehicles do not accept the radio without intervention from the dealership. They have to perform a proxi alignment to force the vehicle to accept the radio. infotainment.com/shop/interior-accessories/infotainment-radio-upgrades/2014-2021-jeep-cherokee-gps-navigation-8-4-4c-nav-uaq-radio-with-apple-carplay-android-auto-2/
Is it possible to replace the USB hub with the later style type with two USB ports and no SD card? If not, what was the purpose of replacing the existing one with one that looks the same as the original?
The upgrade comes with a USB media hub to accommodate Apple Carplay/Android auto. The media hub is basically an interface that displays Apple Carplay/Android Auto on to the screen. It is an essential component to this upgrade package and to the functionality of Apple Carplay/Android Auto.
Fully installed everything today. Android Auto and Apple Carplay are not coming up when I plug into the USB port. I do get the notification on my phone but the screen will not update. Checking again tomorrow as I'm hoping it just has to rest.
Please reach out to our support team at 855-636-6287 Ext 1 or at support@infotainment.zohodesk.com They should be able to help get that working or get a replacement sent out.
You mention the 2015 also need the harness for the heated seats, but all the documents on the website states that’s only need for the 2014. Can you clarify?
No you are correct. This is an older video. We figured it out for 15's and that only effects 14's now. We also updated the listing to include this up to 2022. infotainment.com/shop/interior-accessories/infotainment-radio-upgrades/2014-2021-jeep-grand-cherokee-gps-navigation-8-4-4c-nav-uaq-radio-with-apple-carplay-android-auto/

Noticed on the video and on my updated unit that the Media tab selection still notes an SD Card even though the SD card is longer and there are 2 USB connections. Anything we can do about that?
The USB media hub that is included in upgrade package will have two USB spots as well as the AUX port. The USB media hub is an essential component to Apple Carplay/Android auto functionality. The “Media” button on the touchscreen will access media sources such as: Disc (If Equipped), USB Device, AUX, Bluetooth, and SD Card (If Equipped) as long as the requested media is present. infotainment.com/shop/interior-accessories/infotainment-radio-upgrades/2014-2021-jeep-grand-cherokee-gps-navigation-8-4-4c-nav-uaq-radio-with-apple-carplay-android-auto/

Unfortunately it doesn't work on my Jeep 2014 grand cherokee.. Purchased with an extra kit install . starts up first time and functions 100% 2nd time the radio does not start... ignition off and you see the Jeep loge for a while and away... no more response. Then OBD diagnosis and the following error codes come up at U0199-00 & U0200-00 both lost communication with the driver by module. Even the USB hub remains illuminated. I had contact several times and absolutely no good service it stops with no reaction any more ...at least took the radio out... €2550, lost to a non-working radio and very poor service from Infotainemt. It must be because it is in Europe that the service is so bad. ?
I'm having trouble with turning the center console sideways at the 1:30 mark because my shifter knob isn't surrounded by the leather housing--mine is surrounded by a set of plastic accordion pieces that move along with the shifter but does not allow the center console to be turned sideways (would break the housing). Any ideas? I'm guessing others have probably run into this as well.
Hi there, So yes, I know what shifter you're referring to. Your shifter knob is elongated horizontally. On the left side of the shifter knob, there's a chrome ring and there's a little space right below the chrome. If you pull that chrome ring, the top half of the shifter knob will pop off (it's a bit snug, so you might have to pull a little hard, luckily it is really hard to break). Inside the shifter you'll see a screw that you need to remove, it's a Torx 30 size screw. Then you pull the plastic covering out of the shifter hole, and you should be left with a bar of metal. From there grab the back of the console (right at where your arm rest storage starts) and work your way around popping it out to the front of the dash.
Do i need to plug my phone if i get this in order to run android auto for my 2015 grand cherokee limited or can it connect wirelessly. Also will the remote start still work?
No this is a wired connection. Wireless did not come out until 2022 and we do not have a solution for it just yet. This upgrade will retain any existing features including remote start through the keyfob.
@@Infotainment_nav i'll wait a little more then. Hopefully you guys can make it work wirelessly in the future. I would hate to plug my phone every time. Thanks for your response.

We do not sell cheap equipment. We sell OEM quality equipment that is fully tested, pre-programmed and procured based on your Vin. There are plenty of companies that sell cheap products. We want to provide a part that we are able to guarantee works and will continue to work.

No this is an older video. We figured it out for 15's so they do not need the additional harness. Only 2014's require that harness.
