RES radio upgrade
I was curious how easy or hard it is to upgrade my RES radio to an RER with nav? I have a uconnect button but says its unavailable. Would this upgrade be expensive?
Thanks for any input!

It's actually really easy. Just YouTube a video and it will show you how to remove the radio. It's just like, 10 or 12 hex head screws. The uconnect module will be part of the RER but you will need to buy the Chrysler microphone. If the RER you buy doesn't come with a GPS antenna you will have to buy that too. To activate uconnect you will have to go into service mode of your RER and activate it. To do so, push and hold SEEK UP, SEEK DOWN, and MENU all at the same time. Scroll down until you see where to turn it on. What year is your Jeep? I just took my RER out and am considering selling the RER, microphone, GPS antenna, and Lockpick.
