Default Is the U-Connect just a module and a microphone???

Son in law has a 2012 Sport with base stereo and no bluetooth. I have a 2013 with base stereo, Alpine, and U-Connect. I am likely swapping out my stereo for something aftermarket which will already have Bluetooth capability. SIL wants Bluetooth. Can I just give him parts from my Jeep that he can plug into his, or is it more complicated than that??? I know he won't have the steering wheel controls, but that's okay. All he really wants is Bluetooth.

Thanks

Yes as long as his factory radio is capable of bluetooth. Look for the little phone button or if it's touchscreen it should work.

It depends on what model your radio is. If it is RES/130s or a 430N (touchscreen navi) you will also have to pull the separate Uconnect module from yours and place in it in your sons to make the bluetooth/hands free features work. If it is the 730N (touchscreen navi) the module is built in and will work as is.
