Wonder if I can just pull my connectors off my stock radio and use them .

good catch @likes2build
Not really, you can but I would not recommend it. The pigtails @Mpgrimm2 mentioned will work or you can carefully remove the plastic on the existing plug and super glue on these Fakra plugs...Amazon sells a 10 pack of neutral shells but I can't find them.

You can use the blue one for both. You just shave off the keys with a knife or razor and leave the clip.
I was trying to find the neutral ones because they come unkeyed.

I attempted the same thing by buying the plastic locks but they wouldn't for fully down all the way. OEM ones are recessed around the connector slightly. Pigtails seem to be the best workaround IMO

Does anyone know if the UCQ and UAQ unit maps are the same? All of North America or is there a difference?

Chinese holiday until Feb 3rd.
But get this or similar and remove the blue clip from the female end's connector so to can slide it on the radio...
White FM connector is called Fakra B SMB...

Next gen UConnect radios already coming (seems like Gen.4 was short loved).

As the new Delphi units don't work in our trucks, assuming these new units won't either though

I wouldn't give up hope. I wonder if someone can figure out how Infotainment.com is able to Retrofit the UAV into older Grand Cherokees and then make it work in our 4th gen Rams.

Thanks, I have already spoken with this member. Unfortunately I only need the UAQ and not all the other stuff.

It looks like some need the other stuff (in that thread). Maybe you all could get together?

I'd buy the usb hub. I already purchased the mirror modules and switch from the seller and they were shipped the same day.
Just installed the uas radio , everything looks pretty good except not able to connect to Bluetooth yet or car play , I haven’t ordered a new media hub because mine I wanted to test first as it appears it’s the correct shape but the front looks slightly different . This media hub came from a jump seat addition from a 2018 .
So The radio sees my phone in the car play area but when I hit connect it errors out . Not sure if that’s because of this module or just some other issue .
