Can Nav be added to a 2018 Uconnect® 4C with 8.4–Inch Display with out Navigation ?

TIA

Is there really a need? Phone's do GPS WAY better than any auto manufacturer. Since you have CarPlay/Android Auto and can use Waze/Google Maps, you are way better off, and never have to pay for map updates.

Unless I am missing something. If you want I'll swap 8.4's with you and pay the shipping both ways.

Wife and I are on travel. Got a brand new fusion with nav. What a freaking pain it was to get a destination set since we were moving.

Android and iPud did better.

I agree with the above. The 8.4 does ok but your phone is way better. I only use mine on longer trips when I know it’s all interstate and only use it as a distance reference. Once I get close to my destination, I switch over to my phone for accuracy.

I'm looking at trading the 15 in on a 18 2500 that has the 8.4 without Nav.
Well unfortunately something about Uconnect changed for 2018 and newer models so if you want it you'll have to pay the dealer for it unless you can wait awhile and see if more reasonably priced options come to market in the future. Good luck!
