Aftermarket replacement recommendations for uConnect.

[Sgt Beavis]

Greetings my Jeep Brothers and Sisters.
Today my son had a behavioral episode (he’s special needs) and broke my uConnect. I could mope about it but instead I’m using it as an opportunity to replace the head unit. I also currently have the Alpine speakers

So I’m looking for recommendations. I see a few people have gotten the Stinger RB10JW18B and I’m wanting something with similar capability. I want to maintain the on screen Jeep functions like climate control but I don’t really need navigation since I use CarPlay 100% of the time.

So my requirements pretty much are:
A larger screen 10” would be nice.
maintain HVAC controls and other settings
CarPlay (wireless is a nice to have but not required)
Ability to relocated the USB ports to the top of the dash

Everything else is gravy..

Also is there any reason I should go with another uConnect?
Thanks.

I’m quite happy with the i509-WRA-JL. I wanted a device that was focused on music first with everything else a close second. And I wanted something from a company that’s been around a while and could understand that. Alpine did not disappoint.
