I noticed in my build sheet that was sent to me that it has "GPS Antenna Input" listed in the build despite me having spec'd a 7" UConnect that does not have navigation.

Does this imply that if I can supply a GPS antenna that I could have built-in navigation rather than using Apple CarPlay or similar? Or is this just for XM Radio or something?

Only way to tell is pull the radio and see your plugs. I'm willing to bet the answer is no you cant have factory nav as none of the software is present.

The gps antenna is built in to the satellite radio antenna.... That's probably why it lists as an input

I just use google maps on my iPhone and connect it to the 7” display via a cord so that it displays on the screen. Works great and I will never order the gps option on a vehicle again if I can get Apple car play.

Now that it’s been a few months, does anyone have any info on this? Can you add navigation to the 7” Uconnect?

Andriod Auto can provide your navigation on the 7" display. As of now, the 7" display does not do navigation on it's on. The GPS input is for Sirius/XM and to update your compass (if you have it).

Aftermarket or upgrade to 8.4" to get nav.

It seems odd for something to be called a gps antenna input and not be able to add gps
