Uconnect 4C UAV Explained: What It Fits and How It Differs From UAQ/UAS

Uconnect 4C UAV Explained: What It Fits and How It Differs From UAQ/UAS

If you are shopping for a replacement 8.4-inch Uconnect screen for a Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge, or RAM vehicle, you have likely run into two different system names: UAV and UAQ/UAS. Both use an 8.4-inch display, and both are commonly affected by the same kinds of screen failures, but they are not the same assembly. Ordering the wrong one is one of the most common and expensive mistakes people make when replacing this type of screen.

What Uconnect 4C UAV is

Uconnect 4C UAV is described specifically as an 8.4-inch Uconnect 4C system with built-in navigation. The Cuescreens replacement for this system is designed for vehicles equipped with the Uconnect 4C UAV (Navigation) system, and its original part number falls under the TDO-XGA0840J00001 series. Additional part numbers associated with this same assembly include TDO XGA084, LM1490A01 EFTM, FTM84DC01 D, BLM96100220, BLM9611010, and BKM96100000.

Common applications for the UAV system include the Jeep Grand Cherokee, RAM 1500, RAM 2500, RAM 3500, and Chrysler Pacifica, as well as other models equipped with the Uconnect 4C UAV system.

What Uconnect 4/4C UAQ/UAS is

Uconnect UAQ/UAS refers to the 8.4-inch Uconnect 4/4C system used broadly across many 2017-and-newer Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge, and RAM vehicles. The Cuescreens replacement for this system uses original part numbers in the LA084X01 series, specifically LA084X01 (SL)(01) SL01, LA084X01 (SL)(02) SL02, and LA084X01 (SL)(03) SL03.

How they differ

The clearest, most reliable difference between the two is the original part number on the screen assembly itself, since UAV and UAQ/UAS use entirely different part number series and are sold as separate products:

  • UAV: TDO-XGA0840J00001 series (also referenced as TDO XGA084, LM1490A01 EFTM, FTM84DC01 D, BLM96100220, BLM9611010, or BKM96100000)
  • UAQ/UAS: LA084X01 series (SL01, SL02, or SL03)

Beyond the part numbers, the UAV system is explicitly identified by Cuescreens as the navigation-equipped 8.4-inch variant, while the UAQ/UAS listing does not carry that same navigation-specific label. The two also carry different pricing: the UAV replacement is priced at $299 (regularly $399), while the UAQ/UAS replacement is priced at $249 (regularly $349).

Because these are different physical assemblies with different part numbers, a screen built for one system is not a guaranteed fit for the other. The only reliable way to confirm which one your vehicle has is to match the part number printed on your original screen assembly against the numbers listed above.

What both replacements fix

Despite being different assemblies, the UAV and UAQ/UAS replacements are designed to resolve a similar set of common failure symptoms:

  • Random or erratic inputs (ghost touching)
  • Frozen or unresponsive touchscreen
  • Screen bubbling or edge delamination
  • Washed-out, dim, or distorted display
  • Loss of control over climate, audio, phone, navigation, or vehicle settings

Both are described as complete LCD and touchscreen assemblies, with the LCD and digitizer pre-bonded at the factory using a gel-free construction intended to prevent the adhesive breakdown that causes factory screens to delaminate over time.

Installation and warranty

Both replacements are plug-and-play and do not require dealer programming or VIN pairing. Installation is described as straightforward and typically takes 30 to 45 minutes, with professional installation also available through Cuescreens' nationwide installer network. Both products are backed by a standard two-year warranty, with a Lifetime Warranty upgrade available.

Frequently asked questions

Are Uconnect UAV and UAQ/UAS screens interchangeable?

No. They are separate assemblies with different original part numbers. UAV screens use the TDO-XGA0840J00001 series of part numbers, while UAQ/UAS screens use the LA084X01 series. Always match your original part number before ordering rather than assuming the two are interchangeable.

How do I know if my vehicle has UAV or UAQ/UAS?

Check the part number printed on your original screen assembly. If it matches the TDO-XGA0840J00001 series (or the related TDO XGA084, LM1490A01 EFTM, FTM84DC01 D, BLM96100220, BLM9611010, or BKM96100000 numbers), your vehicle uses UAV. If it matches the LA084X01 series (SL01, SL02, or SL03), your vehicle uses UAQ/UAS.

Which vehicles commonly use the Uconnect 4C UAV screen?

Common applications include the Jeep Grand Cherokee, RAM 1500, RAM 2500, RAM 3500, and Chrysler Pacifica, along with other models equipped with the Uconnect 4C UAV system. Always confirm your original part number before ordering, since compatibility can vary by trim and model year.

Do both screens fix the same symptoms?

Both the UAV and UAQ/UAS replacement assemblies are designed to resolve similar symptoms, including ghost touching, a frozen or unresponsive touchscreen, screen bubbling or edge delamination, and a washed-out, dim, or distorted display. Which part you need depends on which screen assembly your vehicle actually has, not on which symptom you are seeing.
