My question is two-part actually. One...I, like many people, have the ridiculous 5” touchscreen radio with Uconnect 3.

When I ordered my Gladiator I didn’t understand that the 5” didn’t come with Apple CarPlay. Is there a software upgrade available or coming in 2022 that will give these radios Apple CarPlay?
Scondly, the 5” radios from the Compass and Renegade has an “Apps” button in the lower right and has CarPlay.

They are cheap and readily available on eBay. Are these radios compatible with our Gladiators?

Not entirely sure on compatibility but a handful of 7in radios have come up in the forums sale section over the last couple months. I bet if you wated for after a couple holidays youd see one for sale.

edit:

here is one in the audio section for sale now

Thank you! That is cheaper than I have seen a 7” radio before. A definite consideration. The 5” ones on eBay are going for $150 and a blind assumption is that they would work but they may not. I am hoping for a Uconnect 3-5 software upgrade but rarely is anything free in this world. Thanks for your response!

Best of luck!

if its cheap and feasible id jump at it. Its less than likely youll see a meaningful upgrade to the radio software without a cost associated. And even then it’s usually something dumb they should have fixed anyway.

plus with the whole semiconductor shortage im wondering if you wont see second hand radio prices increasing at some point.

I seriously doubt you'll see a software update for Uconnect 3 to Uconnect 5 that'll include wireless CarPlay, as there's additional hardware needed.

That radio won't fit, it's too deep. The JL/JT radios are physically (and mentally?) shallow. If you buy a used factory radio, make sure you can get an activation code. It ties the radio to your VIN.
