The Uconnect system in the wife's new 2018 Wrangler JL Sahara is far superior to the Sync 3 that was in her Escape Platinum.

Yea the Sync 3 system is feeling really outdated and lacking compared to new headunits from other manufacturers. Thats why I got the TStyle radio. Coming from a Sync 2, it was cheaper and brought more features than going with the sync 3 system.

That’s not a bad deal for the Tesla style display.
So I see they are out of US stock and only have China stock available..... where did u order from us or China? Is it the same stuff ? Assuming you’re just ordering from the manufacturer in China.

And would the Bluetooth with pandora on my phone connect?

I replied to your PM. But for anyone else, if I had to do it all over again I would not hesitate. It has been well worth the money and would recommend. It's not perfect, but for me it's heads and shoulders above sync 2 and sync 3. And a lot cheaper and brought much more to the table than the sync 3.

Lol I wish I would have had people use my name when ordering these things that they ended up buying from Phoenix, I have a lot of people that have seen mine and then got versions for their trucks / cars, I would have plenty reward points or whatever they call it on their site lol.

I got mine from Phoenix and your right, all these units are from China, the US vs China thing is just if they happen to have any of the unita in their us warehouse. And from what I can tell the ones from the other vendors are all the same, just marked up.

Make sure you get the 2gb/64gb version.

Yes bluetoooth works same as any other system, however the main benefit is if you get a wifi hotspot on your phone and connect it that way to the unit. Then the unit has Pandora and all the apps on it.

This is probably the way I’m gonna go for aftermarket radio. I have the small 2” display and it sucks. Seems like this would be the way to go. Drop me a dm with your info and I’ll use your name to get you some credit when I order. Also if u have a discount code you could send that too. .. how’s it work when using an iPhones since it is a android? And install is pretty straight forward plug and play
thanks for posting the info and stuff.

I'm seriously considering this. This may happen in the next few hours. Lol. I do a lot of "modding" and I planned on adding OEM ambient lighting which is controlled with the Sync 3 system. Is it possible to control that with this unit?

You will lose the lighting control. It'll stay to what you have it set when you remove the sync 2/3.

However since it's a Android tablet, prob can set up one of those apps with the rgb controller and control it like that.
