Default Replacing CD head unit for Uconnect features

Hi, new to the forum. I have a 2010 JK and have the base 6CD radio head unit which came with vehicle. I have found someone selling a similar used head unit with the Uconnect features of Bluetooth and Voice recognition. If I simply replace the head unit, will these features be active - or is there something else that would need to be upgraded or activated in the audio system. Any help/insight/advice much appreciated. Love my JK. Best car I ever had!

There's a module you've got to buy along with the appropriate microphone and such. Wxnerd did the change if I'm not mistaken. I started it and ended up selling off my parts as it wasn't economical to do it. I'd be better served with an aftermarket unit or the 730n and adding the microphone.
