Anyone Swap in the 8.4 From a 7.0 or Less?

Curious if anyone has changed out their UConnect for the larger 8.4? I specced my JT with the 7.0. Figured it would be fine since my company car has a 7" screen that works great. Didn't realize that CarPlay shrinks the display to about 5". Really aggravating. I don't think I'll care to change out the speakers just yet.

Is the 8.4 plug and play?

If you jump over to the JL forums, there are many ongoing topics on this. I think there are some issues with updates and flashing to your vin. Sorry I dont have more details, but I do believe it is not so simple as buying and 8.4 and plugging it in.
