So I recently upgraded from the 7” to the 8.4” Uconnect. Super easy... just swapped the units out and then I let the Jeep sit overnight to let it sync with the computer. Everything now reflects what I have, trim/feature wise, but there are a few quirks:
Has anyone who upgraded to the 8.4” Uconnect have these issues? I am trying to avoid spending a $150 diagnostic fee just to have the dealer take a look at it.
- SiriusXM app icon is gone. It appears SiriusXM is combined with the “Media” app, so I have to press the Media button, and then SiriusXM every time I want to listen to satellite radio. In my 7” Uconnect, I could do this with just one click.
- The second USB port located inside the center armrest no longer activates CarPlay. I have to use the port in the center stack. Not a huge deal, but a bit off an inconvenience because I have OCD about cords.
- Audio seems to sound more “tinny” than when I had the 7” Uconnect. I tried adjusting the equalizer to reflect the same settings I had with the 7” unit, but it still seems out of whack and I can’t quite dial it in so it sounds good again.
