Default Uconnect Radio Issues

Need advice here....
Bought a use Uconnect 430N RHB radio from someone who took it out of their JK. When they had it in their JK everything worked without issue.

My stock stereo had the Uconnect feature and worked without issue but once i installed the new radio using the NAVIKS harness system the Uconnect only shows "Uconnect phone not available" . I called the harness company and they suggested plugging my old stereo in and seeing if Uconnect still worked.
Now the Uconnect in my old stereo doesn't work. Not sure how to fix this issue and get the Uconnect working with the new radio.

Thoughts and advice please.

What is the purpose of the wiring harness? The radio should be a simple plug 'n play that doesn't require any modification.

The harness is to install back up camera and use Navigation while not in park.

Just for the hell of it, have you tried connecting the 430 without the harness?

I did not hook up 430N without harness. I did plug my old unit back in without harness and no Uconnect
