Jul 30, 2017 I assume there is a navigation activation code generator out there along with a map update generator. I need the link to take car of a 2013 nav ready truck.

Activate the GPS and sat nav in your Jeep Grand Cherokee with this activation code. The Uconnect 8.4 navigation system is installed but not activated in some models of Jeep Grand Cherokee, Cherokee, RAM, Dodge and Chrysler vehicles. Activate your system and enable the functions in ten minutes with this code.
I keep hearing that the button on the rear view mirror is how you activate but on my 15 RT I just selected the register option in the uconnect apps menu (did this when I got the car and regretted it ever since). All I want is the gauges from PP to show up on my 8.4 screen instead of the EVIC.definitely not worth $150 a year.

This is your exclusive 22 digit alphanumeric code. No results for 'ram uconnect navigation unlock', Showing 25 results for 'ram. 1Ram Truck UConnect 4C Nav with 8.4 inch Screen UAQ Radio (2013-2019). Chrysler Uconnect 8.4A (RA3) Activation (working with USA cars as well) Product information Please note: This is an Activation Code only.

Jeep UConnect help... (or a hack/jailbreak?)Posted by SlapahoeTribe on 1/18/17 at 12:56 pm

So, my mother recently purchased a Jeep Cherokee with the 8.4A (?) main touchscreen. She didn't opt for the Navigation download at the dealership because they wanted $695 to activate it and couldn't even confirm whether or not that included future updates. (From my research it appears that it doesn't.) I told her for that price you could get a tablet and use iMaps or Google maps AND do all the other shite a table can do.
At any rate, she's noticed that when her iPhone is paired with the vehicle, while she's listening to XM Radio, and she wants to use Siri to get directions, the voice will not come through the speakers. I'm fairly tech savvy and I was sure that she was doing something wrong, but be damned, under those set of circumstances, the iMap directions will not play through the car's speakers (nor will it play through the phone's speaker because the phone thinks it is paired with a device that has speakers).
This isn't really an issue for me, but she depends heavily on the directions from her phone.
Is there a way to hack the car's system to get it to display the phone's screen? (Or to activate the Nav feature without giving the dealership an arm and leg?)

I've also noticed that the Jeep UConnect and iPhone don't play well together: no ability to voice-text in the vehicle (unless you just bypass UConnect and use Siri directly, but that doesn't display on car's monitor ). Congrats to Jeep for developing a system that doesn't work with the most popular phone on the market.
tl;dr - Have new Jeep with UConnect and iPhone... how to make them work together and get Navigation on vehicle's monitor?

Return the Jeep
Problem solved
ETA: seriously if you're already having problems with the software I think it's a sign.

I think there is a U Connect update from mid 2016 that added Siri compatibility. You can do the update yourself, just go to the Uconnect website or google it. Not sure about the voice nav through ththe speakers since I just let mine go through the phone as not to interrupt music playing - I do know having the phone on silent toggles whether or not the directions come through the speakers. See if that's her problem if you haven't already. I honestly don't use the Bluetooth for anything other than phone calls, so not much experience.
Also check the Bluetooth audio settings in the Uconnect settings. I think you can toggle what goes through the vehicle and what goes through the phone.

I'll have to check this in her car next time I see her. Thanks.

My wife has had two Town & Country vans, a 2009 and a 2013. Both of them have issues with Bluetooth stability connection with UConnect. Doesn't matter what phone type - it just hasn't been stable for us.
As for your question -- unless they changed things, the GPS enabled touchscreen unit is a different device all together than the non-GPS model. They have the same display side and buttons, but the computer is different. Pretty sure they did that to keep people from hacking it and getting GPS for free.
As for ScreenPlay, I don't think you can get that to work with Dodge/Jeep/Chrysler UConnect, yet.

I hate Uconnect. Replace the head unit with a Sony XAV-AX100. It features both Apple Carplay and Android Auto

They don't do well with I phones.
And you don't want it to be able to get hacked. Car can get stolen. Unconnect can unlock and start the car.
Plus, the dealer threw my nav in for free.

I had UConnect in my Jeep. I had problems with it from day one. Especially with my IPhone.

It really just depends on the UConnect model you have. Pre-2013, they left a lot to be desired. They introduced the 8.4' unit in 2013 and its wayyyy better. I'm surprised to see people here say they don't like it (assuming y'all are talking about the new models). As a whole, it's regarded as one of the better infotainment systems on the market.
