Does the dealer charge include installation and programming, or is their charge only for the cost of the module? I don't believe the Uconnect system is plug and play, I'm pretty sure that's one of the modules that needs to be configured to the vehicle by either the dealer or a shop with the appropriate scan tool.

Yes, has to be flashed with dealer level software before the car will see it.

I won't buy a car newer than 2007 because of all the crap they all piled on cars (all manufacturers) in 2008.

Somehow you quoted a post from a different thread.
