UAQ Antenna Connections

I'm one of the <2018 folks that has swapped the UAQ head unit into my 2015 Grand Cherokee to gain CarPlay functionality. I have the unwated side affect of the head unit constantly resetting itself every few days (second head unit from the seller doing it).

I finally updated my OBD adapter so AlfaOBD could read the 'Radio Navigator Module' settings as it's called. There were a bunch of codes stored. I have a feeling the radio was powered up by the seller without the amp connected causing them. I reset the and was greeted with two returning ones; B223B and B1561.

B223B make sense. It's upset it's not in the right vehicle. B1561.....Cellular antenna 2. Anyone have info on that? Do UAQ equipped vehicles have two antennas? Folks report that the LTE hotspot functions (does it work at LTE speeds?) Is it possible that an LTE or second antenna needs connected for over the air updates?

Anyone with a 2018 willing to pull their head unit to report their antenna connections colors?

So I only have 3 antenna connections. The 2018+ must come with an extra that the UAQ is expecting. I have Purple (deep red?), white, mustard. Pink and red are open. And a blue connector is tucked up in the harness. I'm an Overland that had the Nav with UConnect so it had everything minus LTE. Wonder if the antenna just isn't LTE compatible.

Good info. Violet is causing the error then. I believe in the one screen that it does show that it has LTE connectivity which is interesting.

They are as is right now. I tried to find an antenna online to add onto the violet connector but came up with nothing solid. As I don't use any of the cell based services I don't think it's worth further investigation.

I wish there were more information about the configuration code though. My unit is a Canadian model, the car is a US one. I tried switching the car to Canadian with no resolution. Probably a mismatch with model years I would assume.
