Hello all. New to the forum. I'll introduce myself elsewhere but for now I'm on a bit of a time crunch to try to figure out this whole uconnect thing. I'm wanting to upgrade my radio, I tried a cheap android radio but the adage is true you get what you pay for. So if I can I want to go OEM, something I know will work.
My question is this: My stock radio had serius xm but no Bluetooth phone connection. I'm looking at a hands free navigation head unit on eBay that I'd love to jump on (thus the time crunch) but I don't know anything about this uconnect stuff. I don't have the stock radio with me so I can't tell you the three letter code, so maybe my question can't even be answered. Suffice to say, if my stock radio didn't have the phone connection, would my truck even have uconnect? And if not, would I even be able to use the hands free Bluetooth and navigation head unit? OEM is my preferred option, but if I have to spend another several hundred dollars to install a uconnect system (if that's even possible?) then it's not worth it, I'll stick with aftermarket.
I apologize if this has been answered elsewhere, I honestly did look but it's hard to find such a specific answer.
