Thanks for clarifying. Yes, I would still have done those things when I upgraded from the 5" radio just used the PAC kit and a Pioneer head unit in place of the 8.4 Uconnect.
Still thinking about selling my UAQ and going this route. Just need to justify the delta between what i can get for the UAQ and the new stuff to see if it is worth the time. I do like my technology but the UAQ works well for the most part. Only thing I would do this for is wireless Carplay but putting the phone into a dock has not annoyed me enough to take on the expense.
