Should I choose 8.4 Nav on the Laramie trim?

I have the 12" display with nav and love it. The Siruis Guardian feature is pretty cool also.

Here is mine, is this the matte type finish ? You're referring to the big toupe colored bezel ?

I dont understand why it would look different when the only thing thats missing is software?

You have the glossy one. They are referring the black bezel right around the screen. This is what the non-nav one looks like:

Yes, Yes, Yes. The Nav unit not only has Nav but it has the phone app connectivity (lock, unlock, remote start from phone) and I think the glossy appearance just plain looks better. As for the 12" it looks cool but I prefer knobs and with the 12" you lose the knobs.

Youre right ...good thing my 14 that Im trading in is matte so I used to it lol

They are not actually the same unit. They are made by 2 different companies so the software can't just be added after the fact even.

Intresting...I didn't order the nav on my new one because Google Maps is always better. I like the fact that the 5th gens are more iPhone friendly so I plan on using the Apple Par play and Google Maps and saved $895.00 on that option

I found the display on non nav being sunk in very annoying. Also creates a dirt dust trap around edge of display.

Worth the upgrade for remote starts and OTA update feature.

I couldn’t agree more. Oh and try putting a screen protector on straight with it being recessed.

Another benefit is the climate control for the seats. On the 12” they’re only accessible by selecting its dedicated screen. They’re not even available on the two-up split screen setting. Buttons can’t be beat for seat settings.

The 12” still has physical buttons for temp/fan speed desperate from the screen. And on split screen. Unless your talking about physical buttons for heated/cooled seats themselves ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ .

overall i mainly got it for resale value. the only other upside for me would be having a map in the truck if i was outside of cell service. although the age of the maps negates that quite a bit. my map version 2017 or 2018 i believe but my house/subdivison was built in 2014 and my road doesn't show up at all in the nav. i use android auto/google maps far more often.

guardian is only free for a year. so if you want to unlock/remote start from your phone that will be an subscription. i stole this from a jeep forum for the cost. i'll see if they'll negotiate but 240$/yr isn't happening.
