U Connect Upgrade?

Newb here with a JLU Sport. Has anyone tried to upgrade from the base U Connect 3 with the 5" screen to the U Connect 4 with the 7" screen (part #68297546ae)? I feel like it should be a simple plug-n-play with a dealer flash, but I'd like to verify before ordering the UC4. If anyone would be kind enough to upload an image of the back of their UC4, that would really help too, just to verify that the wiring harnesses are the same. Thanks!

It is....but $$

We ahve done this with both Ford 4" Sync to there 8" Sync 3 as well as 4" basic Unconnect to the 8.4 Unconnect. Here is the Infotainment Company we worked with. They use factory componets and make up a harness that makes for a total plug and play. It is big $$ though.

Thanks for the reply! I've come across infotainment, but they haven't put together a kit for JL as of yet. I'll contact them and see if they have one in the works.

EDIT: Just checked with Infotainment and they're working on a kit now. I was told to check back in about two months.

Yes to AA

Yes 8.4 (at least the 2018 version) does have Android Auto and Apple Car Play support and works great.

Great. Thank you. I know it is a better deal to get the 8.4 if you are wanting the apline speakers.
