Great content and well delivered -- can you also review the Hybrid screens, and when and how the engine kicks on / off and the way the system communicates what it is doing ?
Thanks Robert! Here's a full review on the 4xe - th-cam.com/video/udotBQ0Yrh4/w-d-xo.html I have a walkthrough on the 4xe infotainment coming out December 18th too
I haven't seen an upgrade kit to make it happen.. The 2024 Gladiator got an upgrade to this screen but it's a different module than the last gen in your 2020
When u say it’s “not easy to upgrade to Nav” what exactly do u mean? My 2024 Willy’s is on order and had no option for factory nav. But in standard features it does list “gps antenna input”. But I can’t find a Mopar part. Yes, I’m very familiar w/CarPlay and have had a CarPlay unit in my 2016 since 2016. However, it only takes a $100 antenna to have a 2nd GPS or backup, I would think something would want.
I mean that it can't just be added in to the screen. The GPS antenna input is for SiriusXM features. If your screen has the GPS module then that antenna would double for SiriusXM and factory nav.. The screen in the Willy's doesn't have the part for navigation so the whole screen needs to be replaced with one that does have it if you want it added in
My car play is not working on my 2024 jeep wrangler now. It won’t pick up and give as an option just tells me to make sure device is within range and turned on ! So frustrating
Check out this video on normal CarPlay fixes --> th-cam.com/video/Rw_b44CPH24/w-d-xo.html and this one since you're using uConnect --> th-cam.com/video/5_q8Td0VwTM/w-d-xo.html
You can try adjusting the text size on your phone but it would be a global phone increase and not just for Waze. For Android devices search for Font Size and Style. On iPhone go to Settings --> Accessibility --> Display and Text Size --> Larger Text
That's where you'd be able to use the phone app for remote starting, unlock/locking doors etc. You can do all the same features from your fob so it's really a matter of preference..
i took out and unplugged radio to install after market ( amps dsps etc) stuff and i put it back on and now radio wont power on any thoughts?? or fixes? jeep wrangler 2024 thnanks
@@CarsWithSteve I'm on Apple Car Play. It displays Google Maps, Next song, and next turn. Just like you showed at 13:28 but with Google maps instead of Waze. Sometimes the clock is there and sometimes it isn't. I wish I could get rid of the Wifi symbol to make more room. On the off road pages there is also supposed to be an icon for Adventure Guides (Trails off road). Mine doesn't have that either.
When using Uconnect 5 navigation, planning a route with waypoints (my own points of interest), HOW DO I SAVE the route when finished? So that it will be there in navigation the next time I want it.????
Thank you so much for the response. That is pretty much what I had guessed. Seems like this is a missed opportunity on uConnet's part, but maybe that's just me. Thanks for what you do. @@CarsWithSteve

Amazing video
Thanks!
Good video..good info
Thanks!
how to get connected to HD Radio. I got new 2024 Wrangler Willy and not able to tune to HD Radio.
Can this infotainment system be installed in a 2020 jeep gladiator?
I haven't seen an upgrade kit to make it happen.. The 2024 Gladiator got an upgrade to this screen but it's a different module than the last gen in your 2020
Can you add Waze and Sirius (or media) to be seen on the split screen (rather than the Nav and Sirius)?
I haven't been able to find a way to do split screen on uConnect 5 unfortunately. Would be a useful feature though

Can you change the background color?
I noticed a darker background on other models.
Model specific?
There is a dark mode and then under Apps --> Display there are a few additional options. You can't upload a custom background though...
How do you change the screen color?
You can't really tweak much for the display. I cover off a few things when I get to settings --> display in this video
How do you change font size in Waze maps on wide screen? It is so small I would need to wear reading glasses. Thanks
You can try adjusting the text size on your phone but it would be a global phone increase and not just for Waze. For Android devices search for Font Size and Style. On iPhone go to Settings --> Accessibility --> Display and Text Size --> Larger Text
Are there benefits of a subscription of Uconnect plus?
That's where you'd be able to use the phone app for remote starting, unlock/locking doors etc. You can do all the same features from your fob so it's really a matter of preference..

Bend a pin accidentally or wires crossed? Could always take it in for a service appt and let them know it's not powering up..
@@CarsWithSteve got it back on. Thanks 🙏
I can’t figure out why my clock isn’t displayed sometimes.
Are you on certain screens when it doesn't work (navigation, settings etc) or does it just not show on any screen sometimes?

I haven't found a way to save in routes with waypoints, just an end destination. If I find a workaround, I'll circle back to let you know!

You're welcome! It's something that could be programmed in but I don't think I've come across a manufacturer that lets routes be saved
Couldn't you talk a little faster?
Yes.. but really? Pause and Rewind are your friend.. or you can try changing the playback speed to 0.75x or something that's easier to follow
could you slow the hell down a little bit
No
Would you use the pause and rewind button or change the playback speed to something that's easier to follow?
