The SIM card is used if you don't want to pair your phone or don't have one. With a SIM card in the box, it acts as stand alone phone. You will need a SIM card from a provider, and of course pay the service.

For what function? I pair my phone with Bluetooth to the box. All contacts show up and can make a call from there. No need for a sim card.

The box will run Android 13 full screen. You don't need android auto. There are 2 modes on this box. Apple car play or android on boot up (default). When booted up, it will show apple car play on you center stack but you running android. From there on, you can use android full screen for...

I would stay at 27.46 as it is the latest most stable version. Why fix it when ain't broke.

Yes, it does. You need to pair it to the box, not UC5.

So, if anybody want's to know, you can not just add the buttons on top. I had another UC5 screen to test it with. I had a new unit with a broken screen and tested it in my ram. It had the buttons on top with lane keep and park assist. All buttons worked, including the park assist button. After...

He upgraded from a UC4 system to the UC5 system. Updates are tied to your VIN. His VIN shows that he has a 8.4" UC4. How should he get OTA updates for his UC5 System?

You have right to your opinion. I still can use paper maps, but this does not answer the OP's question. ;)

I've got Android working full screen on a UC5 unit, Not Android Auto. Use a Android box, also capable of car play and android auto wireless. https://5thgenrams.com/community/threads/carlinkit-ai-box-for-full-screen-aa.59738/post-898500

You will never gat an OTA update on your device. You can only update with a USB Stick when you can find a download for newer version.

Well, I was running one of those boxes on UC4, it performed very well. Of course split screen, but I was happy with it. Now, I updated to UC5 and guess what, Box would not run on UC5. Went on a hunt for a new box and found this. I thought if it does not work, I just send it back, no harm no...

So, today I upgraded my 12" uConnect 4 to the new uConnect 5. Replaced the radio module and new screen. The new uConnect 5 screen did not have the park assist button, only the lane keep button and emergency flasher button on the center stack. So, I removed the buttons and control board from my...

That looks like it plugs in to the body control module. Lower left behind the kick panel.

No need for programing. You can turn passive entry off in the radio. Go to settings, doors and locks, select passive entry and turn it off.
