Jeep Factory Navigation — Uconnect
Jeep vehicles sold in the UK use Uconnect navigation, developed by Stellantis (formerly FCA). Most Jeep models from 2014 to 2022 with factory navigation store map data on an SD card, which plugs into a slot on or near the infotainment head unit.
Which Jeep Models Use a Navigation SD Card?
- Renegade (2014–2022) — Uconnect 7″ HD Live on Limited and Trailhawk trims; SD card navigation
- Compass (2017–2022) — Uconnect 8.4″ on Limited and S trims
- Cherokee (2014–2019) — Uconnect 8.4″ navigation on Longitude Plus and above
- Grand Cherokee (2011–2021) — Uconnect 8.4″ navigation; SD card slot
- Wrangler (2018–2022, JL) — Uconnect 8.4″ on Overland and Rubicon trims
Where Is the SD Card Slot on a Jeep?
On most Jeep Uconnect systems, the SD card slot is on the face of the infotainment head unit — a small slot to one side of the touchscreen. On some Grand Cherokee and Wrangler models, the slot may be in the centre console storage area. The card uses standard SD format.

Off-Road Navigation and Map Updates
Jeep drivers who use their vehicles off-road will find that current map data is especially useful for motorway routing to trail access points, motorway service areas, and fuel stations. Off-road trails themselves are not typically included in navigation map data — specialist off-road navigation apps are a better resource for trail data.
