Switched out my 7inch radio for a donor 8.4inch radio from a totaled JLU. What you need is the donor VIN and the SN on the 8.4inch radio. With this, a helpful CDJR dealership can give you the Theft code. The 8.4 is so much better in sound quality and has extra features. I totally recommend the swap. Super easy.
I made the switch. 7 to 8.4 and NO extra cost involved after installation at the dealer. The radio worked right out of the box. The sales code is added before the radio is shipped from Infotainment. They also allowed me to trade in my 7inch and credited me 300.00.
How do they have the ability to add a sales code? The sales codes can only be added by an authorized dealer. The sales code is added to your build and then flash/update your configuration into your Jeep your Jeep then communicates to the features. Its not the other way around. I've contacted 6 dealerships in the Tampa area and not one will do this. They state if the vehicle did not come with the 8.4 they cannot just add the sales code. Do you know another way around this?
For 5.0 folks... Pretty sure you can also order new controls to re-add the volume knob to the center console. The assembly contains everything from the ignition button over. Then the climate controls should be moved to the screen, if I’m not mistaken. Pretty cool upgrade if you didn’t get the tech package!
JeepInformant I have not upgraded- yet. Still looking into it and I remember reading about it on a JLWrangler forums thread. After skimming through the thread, my original comment may be mid-information actually. It looks like people identified the part number for a ‘Control AC switch’ or something but I’m seeing some posts about the parts not working together correctly.
This video is somewhat misleading because it’s old information. The radios are interchangeable from Jeep to Jeep as long as you have the unlock code. It will work fine. The issue will come when you want to add accessories. The Jeep will not cycle power to the radio properly, and it will not play music. You have to do a reset on the radio for it to work, or shut off the Jeep, lock the doors and wait 10 minutes till the Jeep shuts its electronics off.
Alpine just announced a Jeep JL restyle head unit at SEMA that will likely be better that the Uconnect. Just throwing it out there as an option for anyone looking to upgrade their system.
DO NOT LEAVE THE THEFT CODES ANYWHERE INSIDE OR ON THE VEHICLE!!! If someone does break into the car and happens to know what they are looking for you might as well have taken the radio out and shipped it directly to their house with 1 day shipping.
One more thing, if you’ve upgraded from seven to an 8.4, as long as you have the security code then that 7 inch unit can be installed as a 5 inch upgrade to somebody else they’ll just need to enter the security code and by the volume control module that accompanies the 7 inch radio.
If the salesman said: 'No you can't upgrade the bigger stereo.' then tell him to turn around after that kick his ass and tell em get the hell out. Because it is n option before you want to buy the Jeep. There is that option when you do build your Jeep in the website.
Why does the Chrysler dealership tell you it can't be done? Kind of scary cuz I don't want to mess up the electrical system. I have a 19 Dodge Journey and they told me I could upgrade the screen size when I bought it and then they said I can't after I asked them a few months later to upgrade it. Its highly nerve-wracking cuz I would like the bigger screen rather than that little chintzy 4 inch screen it has. As the old saying goes if it ain't broke don't fix it. I just don't want no coulda woulda shoulda. Especially I don't want it to avoid my warranty. Or even worse be stranded on the side of the road with a broken car all because I had to mess with the screen size. I'm incredibly confused

I was looking into this...but two 8.4 radios in grand cherokees were at the dealership and both couldnt get their radios to even turn off, had to pull fuses. Makes me vary warry...my base 5 is the worst radio i have EVER had in any car truck....grandmas old boom box in the attic. im on my third radio from jeep and i have no faith it will ever work normally, they don't know what their doing.

A ton of people have made the upgrade just by ordering the radio and bezel from a parts site. Everything I'm seeing says this method has been plug-n-play. What are they losing by doing that? The only thing they're not getting is the updates, but I'd imagine they wouldn't get that with the infotainment version either.
No they won’t get update. Any option that the vehicle has maybe that can be controlled through the radio. I have not actually tried one. I would like to just to prove you don’t have to. But it makes sense that you would. Also. It carry’s the factory 3year 36,000 mile warranty if you add the sales code.
Just upgraded the wife?s JLUR from a 7. Infotainment configures the radio to your vin so no visit to the dealer needed (other than to simplify future warranty issues thru the dealer). And as for updates, the dealer can still perform or you can do them yourself at http’//driveuconnect.com/software-update, Just punch in your vin and download to a flash drive (4Gb or larger). The drive plugs into your USB port in the Jeep, instructions are onscreen. FCA also makes a support video available via their TH-cam. The only feature not available if you upgrade vs purchase with the vehicle is the Sirius Guardian feature. All other functions and features are fully operational.

If your current radio did not come with Sirius XM, you will need to add the Sirius XM/Navigation antenna if you want to use that option on the new Sirius equipped radio. The Mopar part number is 68293949AA for the antenna and 5064159AG for the extension Cable. This antenna is an all-in-one Navigation and Sirius XM antenna. If you are upgrading to the 8.4" and want to use the wifi/LTE functionality, you will need to pick up that antenna part# 68293962AA.
@@ronaldlewis6859 did you do this? I have the 7" and it is XM compatible. just no antenna. So I know it goes on the sound bar, how does the wire run to the spot on said bar, thanks!
Dude, you are so wrong. I just ordered mine from Mopar for way less money than infotainment or extreme terrain, or any of the other aftermarkets. And it was simply plug and play.

There's no jeep renegade
I have a 5.0 in my jeep renegade?! Can I upgrade it to an 8.4 or even 7.0???????
You can but you will only have your steering wheel for volume control
Unconnect 7.0 is utter Garbage 🤦♂️ everytime I have to start the car I have to do like 8-10 touches for the screen to connect to Bluetooth 🤦♂️
Have you had any luck connecting to Bluetooth now?
CAPPP
How much power is output on the 8.4 inch radio?
