EASY PLUG & PLAY 7.0 TO 8.4 SWAP - 18-23 Jeep JL/JT Mopar Uconnect Radio Upgrade

Ever wondering if it is possible to replace your 7.0" Uconnect with the larger 8.4 Uconnect? Well it easier then you think.
On today's video, I will be confirming that it is in fact possible to replace a 7.0" Uconnect with a 8.4" Uconnect and that it is an easy plug and play swap. I will be installing my old 8.4" Uconnect into a 2020 Jeep Wrangler Sahara. This will show you all the steps you need to complete the swap as well as show you how to replace the LCD screen assembly on the 8.4" Uconnect.
For this install, if you have acquired a used 8.4" Uconnect, you will need to acquire an unlock code. This can be acquired from www.onlineradiocodes.co.uk.
Please enjoy the video and if you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to post them below and I will do my best to answer them as best as I can. Please make sure to subscribe to the channel so that you will get notified when I post new videos.

Xm radio and gps is already in the car. It’s in the same unit. That’s why it works

[@rachelbenyamini178]

I need to upgrade my screen and saw your video and I wasn’t sure if you’re installing them for other people and I saw you had a Two Roads sweater so I thought you might be in the area. I’m in Connecticut.

[@evolvedjeepin]

Yeah my bubby lives in CT and that is his jeep in the video, he actually gave me that sweater. I can install it if you wanted but I am not a professional or anything. Hit me up on Instagram.

How can I figure out my four digit code for my 2019 Jeep wrangler. If I buy a 8.4 aftermarket from Amazon

[@evolvedjeepin]

Go to the link that I have in the description and order a code.

[@kenwhite2889]

Can you tell me what you connected the blue wire to on the bigger radio? Mine has purple, gold, and brown extra ports, but no blue...

[@evolvedjeepin]

If I remember correctly the blue one connected to the gold.

[@seanconrad6603]

Hello, i'm curious about the Assist/SOS buttons that are above the windshield. is the SOS button constantly lit up, or did that feature connect properly to the new head unit?

[@evolvedjeepin]

No SOS light on and this unit seems to work everywhere, no issues

[@gilbertruiz9642]

can you tell me what part number for the radio 8.4 uconnect. I have 2020 wrangler with 7 inch screen

[@evolvedjeepin]

Honestly I am not sure what the part number was, but I know that I installed one with navigation into a jeep that didn't have navigation and it worked. So I feel like the two models for the 2019 Jeep JL will work and I put a radio from a 2019 into a 2020.

[@mmilike]

What is the blue connection go, since the 8.4 one dont have a blue one, i cant see which it go next to the white ?

[@mmilike]

Also my backup cam didn't work

[@evolvedjeepin]

I honestly can't remember, I thought the blue one was the GPS antenna, but not sure. As for your camera, that is strange.

[@ronflores7]

Was the plastic trim around the radio the 7inch one or do you have to to get a new one when you purchase the 8.4 radio?

[@evolvedjeepin]

It's a different trim part, so when you install the 8.4" you need the trim part that works for that one.

[@Jamalyousefi]

Hi there! Did you disconnect the car battery ? Or doesn’t need to if it’s plug and play. I am doing the same upgrade. Thanks.

[@evolvedjeepin]

Anytime you are doing anything electrical it's always a good decision to disconnect the battery just in case.

[@Jebbby]

I did the same swap but from the 5 inch to the 8.4 and everything works except the climate controls. Any idea?

[@evolvedjeepin]

Yeah no clue, possibly you need a Flashcal+ or a Razer to unlock the feature.

[@crodgers1011]

Need to go into jscan and change the climate settings

[@GiselleRamos-mc6ft]

do you think the amazon 8.4 uconnect will work on a 2018 jeep wrangler ? i currently have a 7 inch one in it.

[@evolvedjeepin]

I am not sure, but at least with Amazon you should be able to try and then if it doesn't then return it.

[@GiselleRamos-mc6ft]

where did you get the trim part??

[@evolvedjeepin]

I had mine because this is my old radio, but you can probably find one off ebay

[@jackbecker6680]

Ca n I upgrade from small display to 8.4 display?

[@evolvedjeepin]

I am not 100% sure, but I think so.

[@rachelbenyamini178]

@@evolvedjeepin are you in CT? Can you help with a screen upgrade install?

[@evolvedjeepin]

@@rachelbenyamini178 I am in Yonkers, what you need help with?

[@calebwalton3250]

[@evolvedjeepin]
