I don’t really think this screen will compare to the ram screen. Totally different.

The Jeep round vents are a much better design and they are in a better spot. The new design is more like from Ford.

Just saw a video on YT today, the '24 and prior JL grills are interchangeable...

Ok, I change my vote. '24.
But if this guy shows up a few months down the road with one of those goddam angry eye grills he's gotta turn his card in & gtfo

I wondered about this.
Cause the 24 grille sucks.
I was just getting used to the look of the JL grille compared to the perfection of the JK grille and then the ‘24 cast me back into darkness.

First of all Thank You for all the replies, it really helped.
Now please NOTE: Following is my personal opinion:
I went to dealership and got a glimpse of 2024, they didn't let me take pictures but i was right about my suspicions.
Pic (a) Awkward looking, over-extended to the right with about 2 inches of overlapping over passenger's panel dash without "right ending", just hangs there.
Like i said before, it looks like they just crazy glued tablet to the dashboard. Just slapped on it.
And on the left... Just look at it (b). It looks like a iwatch patch. There is nothing that plasticky and shiny across the whole dashboard, but just that one thing. There are no shiny panels on the dashboard, why would you put that one in??? So out of place.
And air vent can't be adjusted to go higher than chest. I've tried.
Other than that there are no changes from 2023. (Keep in mind Sport S/Willys (xtreme 35 inch package)).
P.S. It's the last of the Mohicans! Let's keep it different from all the Teslas, let's keep it boxy and cool.
Anyway, i got 2023 Hight Tide. New Jeep, new build. I'll be posting a lot of stupid questions. Help me out.
P.P.S. Yeah Yeah... I know it's too blue...

I use the round vent they are eliminating to keep my right hand and face cool. A vent which blows only mid-height can't do the same thing.
If the infotainment system offered real value such as allowing the user to add 'apps' according to their needs, then it would me much more useful. If phones and computers can do this for many years already, I see no reason why automotive giants can not provide such technologies as well.

Congratulations on your new Jeep!
Congratulations on your new Jeep and thank you for posting this up!
I personally really HATE that new infotainment system and based on what I just heard from you, even more now. The whole vent thing is just stupid too.

No, its the same Uconnect 5 - just horizontal vs vertical.
I was thinking the same thing LOL
Oh, and yeah, I really hate the new pseudo 7-slotted grill
