Luxury II package with 8.4" Uconnect?

I've searched high and low, and have found no answer so I appreciate if someone can chime in.

As far as I can tell the 2022 GC 2-row Limited trim can be spec'd out with Luxury II package with the regular 8.4" Uconnect. Do you lose any features/functionality in the Lux package by staying with 8.4" such as the surround camera/offroad?

Lux II gives you “rain-sensing windshield wipers, four-door passive entry, wireless charging pad, Capri leather seats with perforated inserts, ventilated front seats, power tilt telescope steering column with memory, second-row manual window shades, digital rearview mirror, rear back-up camera with washer, SurroundView camera, ParkSense front and rear park assist sensors with stop and Intersection Collision Assist system.” Nothing in there cares about your screen size.

The thing you can’t get on Limited without going to the larger screen is the navigation stuff: SiriusXM Guardian, SiriusXM Traffic and SiriusXM Travel Link, TomTom navigation, and Maps OTA. To get all that, you’d add the Entertainment Group package, which also gives you the larger screen and the 9-speaker Alpine audio. (Oddly, you can get the Nav stuff with the 8.4” screen on Trailhawk and Overland, but there doesn’t seem to be a way to get it on Limited without also getting the 10.1” screen.)

The 8.4 screen has a giant bezel around it that looks terrible.

It seems, at least with the ‘21s, most of the electrical issues & disappointments could be pointed directly back to the 10.1 screen. Unhappy owners with failing screens, uconnect issues, map updates that didn’t help, etc. Maybe just my observation. I looked far & wide when we purchased my wife’s 3-row in December of 2021 for the latest build date (12/15/21) and one with the 8.4” screen. Although with only 2200 miles on the clock, we have had absolutely “zero” issues and nothing but love for her ‘21 JGC-L.
