Radio Screen CarPlay for Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT (2015): How to Install Android Auto and Apple CarPlay

The Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT is the sportiest version of the big American SUV: a 6.4-litre V8 engine, over 460 horsepower and equipment to match, though it arrived in Europe in limited numbers. The problem is that its 2015 Uconnect multimedia system, however advanced for its time, was left without factory Apple CarPlay or Android Auto. If you own one of these units and want to bring phone navigation and music to the car's screen, there's a specific solution that doesn't require touching the original wiring.

Does the Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT come with CarPlay as standard?

Not on the 2015 model. The Grand Cherokee SRT of that generation (WK2 with the Uconnect 8.4 update) offered an advanced touchscreen for its time, with its own GPS navigator and climate and Harman Kardon sound control, but Apple CarPlay and Android Auto had not yet been integrated into Jeep's Uconnect system at that point. Fiat Chrysler doesn't offer this feature as a retroactive update for this control unit version.

The solution: Android radio for the Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT

The most complete way to add CarPlay and Android Auto is to replace the original Uconnect screen with an Android radio designed specifically for the Grand Cherokee SRT dash opening, using your car's original connector. This isn't a universal adapter: it's a purpose-built unit that includes:

• Wireless Apple CarPlay and built-in Android Auto
• Full Android operating system, with Play Store, YouTube, Spotify and WiFi
• GPS navigation with offline maps of Europe
• Keeps the original steering wheel controls
• High-resolution HD touchscreen
• Hands-free Bluetooth and multiple USB ports
• FM/AM radio and mirror link function

Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT compatibility: supported versions

This radio is compatible with:

• Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT (2015), with this generation's Uconnect control unit

As this is a high-performance version with specific equipment, we recommend sending us a photo of your current screen via WhatsApp before buying, so we can confirm exact compatibility with your unit within minutes.

What's the installation like?

Installation is plug & play thanks to the harness and frame designed specifically for the Grand Cherokee SRT:

1. The original Uconnect screen is removed from the opening without cutting or stripping any wires
2. The Jeep-specific harness is connected to the car's original connector
3. The new screen is fitted into the custom frame, with no gaps
4. Jeep's specific CAN-BUS keeps the steering wheel controls, parking sensors and original reversing camera active

As this system has more integrations (climate control, Harman Kardon premium sound), we recommend having it installed by an experienced car electronics installer, in a process that usually takes between 45 and 90 minutes.
