Connect stereo issue
Hello Everyone,
2014 JKU Rubicon
I'm sure this has been posted and asked before, but I couldn't find anything. My radio started acting up. Blue screen, black screen, random turning on and off. Then... Nothing. I went to Jeep and to UConnect and they pointed the finger at each other. Both quoted over $1K.
What is the best course of action? Any recommendations or experiences? Is there a fix for factory that old or is a new head unit required?
Thanks in advance and stay weird, stay curious and always adventure.

probably easier to buy a used factory head unit and pop it in. the issue with that is always getting the code so that the radio is not a brick, but it seems there have been some members that were able to do that easily these days. it used to be extremely difficult to get that code from a service manager at a dealership. if you do buy something, i'd try to make sure I had the vin of the vehicle it came out of. it kinda sounds like the headunit is toast to me.
