Jeep 5 inch to 8.4 Inch DIY | NO DEALERSHIP | Uconnect Upgrade

Car model is 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee Loredo. Base Model with no back up camera and basic 5 inch Uconnect radio.

I installed a 2015 vp4 8.4 inch Uconnect Radio. I bought it used from ebay from a junkyard/salvage yard seller. I then paid another ebay seller that give you anti theft codes with your radio serial number. I didnt go to the dealership. Did it all at home. Depending on the model you get, you might need to purchase a 911 phone dummy. It tricks the system to thinking you have it even though your car was not already equipped with it.

After you have installed your new upgraded unit and have entered anti theft code you should wait with the car on for about 5-10 mins. After that turn off your car for about 30min to hour. Go take a break. While the car is off the Radio will communicate with the cars computer and do its technical stuff in the back ground. I believe its called proxy pairing.

When purchasing the anti theft code from ebay make sure the seller gives you examples of what Serial number they work with. Not all work with the same Serial number you have. So just be mindful of that. Some will give you examples of what they can work with similar to the one i bought from. Also helps if they high feedback and sales.

You have to take it to a dealer so they can reprogram it. Costs about 30 bucks and everything will work

When you use the climate controls below, does the display on the screen show the fan speed and temperature going up and down? Also, I called the jeep dealerships parts department and was told they'll provide the anti theft code if I show the info from eBay, proving the purchase from a salvage company especially the vin #.

Anyone try to install a 2019 and up on a 2017 jeep?

Great stuff.
I'm a moron when it comes to cars so please excuse my ignorant questions:
1. Do the knobs/buttons come off the old bezel and onto the replacement? I ask because all the bezel's I'm finding on Ebay are shells.
2. Will GPS/Navigation work?
3. Will any camera do as long as it's compatible with the screen?

Thanks again!
