Need to disconnect factory Uconnect

[rob@cisco.com]

I just replaced my factory Nav system with a Kenwood DNX7100. It is great and has built-in Ipod, touchscreen, great sirius interface, and bluetooth. It fixes all the problems with the factory Nav.

The problem is that the factory Uconnect bluetooth interferes with the Kenwood bluetooth and causes a delay in connecting to my phone.

Anyone know how to disconnect the factory bluetooth?

Thanks

You could unplug the uconnect module which is behind the glovebox door. I am sure that someone would buy it off you if you aren't going to use it any more. To remove the glove box open the door and there are 2 tabs that keep the door from opening anymore push those tabs inward to release the door. next unclip the wire stop. The door will just pull off then. The module is the black box to the right. It is held in place by 2 screws. If you are not completely removing you could just unclip the harness but it is tight in there might be easier to unscrew first.

Thanks for the info. It was exactly what I needed. I was able to disconnect it without having to remove it. It cured my problem and now I am extremely happy with my new system.

Thanks again for the quick response and great info.

There are a lot of members looking to upgrade to the factory system. You could sell that module on the forum in the "parts" section if you don't plan on using the system again or just leave it in place for trade in.
