Is it possible to replace the UConnect 5 with a UConnect 4?

[JimKIII]

There are lots of posts about upgrading UC-4 to UC-5. How about the other way around - with all the issues of UC-5, is going back to UC-4 a possibility?

Or is the the truck so integrated with UC-5 that it'd be useless to try and go backward?

I hear ya. Just wondering if it was feasible. The glitches I've encountered are more annoying than disruptive.

Well, yeah - if the flip phone does what you want reliably….

..the 4 is a PITA POS too imo, it works but about had enough of it.
Thinking about an International or Camper Special and a full restoration

Ha ha. I do have an old flip phone and my Galazy S5 is so old the last software update was years ago. After working in high-tech all my career I've turned into a technology curmudgeon since retirement; not so bad as a Luddite, but close. GPS? Hell no - give me a real map and compass.

Well, with google maps deteriorating as a functional program daily, WE moved the map back up to the front seat and check it against every request for a destination... What the heck has happened to google maps over the years? It well and truly sucks for air now days... Not sure if the truck nav is any better... Can't get it to work consistently either. verbal requests...well, UConnect 5 apparently comes into play and doesn't.

Ahhh, the S5 was a nice phone, my first smart phone, but I preferred the S7 all things considered and being able to charge on a pad. We have S9 pluses still having the expandable memory, and may hang onto them for as long as possible...

Plenty of S20 remaining on the market which have microsd slot. Time to upgrade while its possible. Wife upgraded her S8 to one and absolutely love it.

Strange, I haven't had any problems with Google Maps. My phone is a Google Pixel 6 Pro. Maybe that is the reason? Also UC-4.

Thanks, I didn't realize the S20 had the microSD...
