Well, hate to take over the OP's post, but I just completed this upgrade. Obtained the UAQ as a hand-me-down so why not. Ordered the new radio bezel online pn 6VM16LXHAA. The bigger screen is actually nice. Really nice! Other than that, didn't gain much over the 7, except Nav, but I use CarPlay/Apple maps mostly anyway. Seems like there are some quircks in the re-programming process, but if anything errors out (making configuration changes) just disconnect from the BCM, power cycle and try again. From the online videos of others doing this conversion, seems like everyone does a Proxy Align immediately after swapping the radio. I did the same and the BCM reported config errors, I assume due to the new radio not matching the BCM. Made the following changes in AlfaOBD-
Car configuration change: Radio Type: ' LEVEL 2 (R1 LOW) ' -> ' LEVEL 4 '
Car configuration change: SDARS Travel Link: ' ABSENT ' -> ' PRESENT '
Car configuration change: Navigation: ' ABSENT ' -> ' PRESENT '
Car configuration change: GPS Dead Reckoning: ' ABSENT ' -> ' PRESENT '
If you have Satellite radio, these should be already enabled-
SDARS: Present
GPS: Present
I have the 3" instrument cluster. The BCM did not like these to be enabled-
Car configuration change: Navigation Info Repetition: ' ABSENT '
Car configuration change: Navigation Info Repetition Menu: ' ABSENT '
If you have done the 7" cluster swap, you could probably switch these to PRESENT.
Cleared all DTC's and did another Proxi Align. All modules completed successfully. Made sure all DTC's were still cleared and power cycled ignition. Radio booted up just fine and I entered the anti-theft code, but no sound. Allowed it to sleep overnight and next morning radio was fully functioning. CarPlay, steering wheel controls, vehicle menus all work like with the previous radio. I'm sure this is just in my head, but the sound quality sounds improved and stronger bass from the sub? The radio is running application QR-39.5.0. I did try to enable Off-Road Pages, but never showed up in the apps.
