The standard equipment list we posted (link below) shows that the Sahara gets the 7" display standard and Rubicon gets 8.4" display standard. The 7" and 8.4" displays are both running Uconnect 4 which comes with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. So, both the Sahara and Rubicon will have Android Auto and Apple CarPlay standard. The Sport gets the 5" display standard, but this can be upgraded to the 7" display.

That better be an error, because the Sahara is suppose to be the 'luxury' model. Why in the world would they give it the smaller screen?? People in Rubicons have more important things to look at like rocks to crawl over than a giant screen.

It would be interesting to know if you could load topo maps through the little media center section where the have slots for sd cards and a plug for auxiliary. This begs the question fo me a least I have an android pad that I loaded topo usa on the pad and with 128 gig sd card I have topo maps for everything Colorado and west. I use that in my jk. So here is where it gets weird and confusing with the new radios. I have an I phone so if I run apple car play will android apps work through the media center? Or if I get rid of the iPhone and get a android phone will the apps work. Or vice_versa if I load up an SDSU card with topo maps uh say from Garmin. Will they run on the screen ?
Now that would be something!

You can not load topo maps. Anrdoid auto and carplay are directly linked to the system only via USB connection. both will work on either the 7.0 or 8.4 Only certain apps work for each system. So like your Starbucks app doesn't show up on the screen. Maps, messages, phone, Ibooks, etc. do.

The best part for me about the 8.4 is the phone app so I can remote start my new ride from anywhere.

I think the according to the new order guide Rubicon gets the 7" standard too and the 8.4" is an available option either through Infotainment or standalone. Is this correct?

What is your preferred source for your topo maps of Colorado and the west???

Hi Folks. Given that the top Infotainment is the Connect 8.4 and comes with Apple and Android native, can we expect the JL & JLU to work with a App for remote door unlocking, remote Starting, Emergency help etc? Let me know please as I have not been able to read anything on this yet or if you have links please advise. Thanks

That is correct. With the 8.4 you will be able to get a year trial of that service where the app can honk, lock, unlock, remote start , and send map destinations to the vehicle via your smartphone app.

I have been using topo usa pro. I think it cost 12$ I run it on a n android tab the trick is to load the maps you want. I bought 128 gig sd card and covered all the off road stuff for wa ca or az and have 80 gig of space left
my son had an android phone and it kicked my iPhone but and I have always been a Mac guy. So I am considering dumping the iPhone going android to see if will work on the Uconnect

I just watched the video of how to get the apps tha you use on the Uconnect it would be great if I could figure that out I use cal topo I think on the app. There is a description of it it says something like this map layer has the older trails etc. it takes a while to down load the maps with garmin providing maps for the connect you would think if you loaded garmin topo on it might read it directly. Cross you fingers

Does the lasted version of uconnect allow mirroring of the phone? I want to run Gia.
