Will any cutting or shaving of the console or metal bracket (behind the factory radio) need to be done for a 2008 JK? I can pop off the console and feed a wire, but I don't have confidence to do body modifications. I'm hoping that this will be truly plug and play.
I just installed the Sony XA6000 radio in my 2017 JK and it’s using the OBD 2 plug. I love the dash cam but don’t want to have visible wires leading to my cigarette port. Do I have any other options?
Every thing works great! But I think there is a software glitch on mine. No sound from Siri, no beep from the screen, and I can’t hear anyone when they call…
Nice video. We use the DC Mini 2 in our two JLUs. We chased our wires in a similar manner, but on the 24, we installed an additional 12 volt outlet in the passenger kick panel using the 12 volt lead included with the Aux switches.
I ordered the Sony 9000ES. I am super satisfied. These instructions are very well executed. Do not be afaid to do yourself. I did run into a couple of challenges. For some reason I had a clearance issue with the fitment and the horizontal plastic at the top of the opening for the stereo. Additionally, removed the metal tabs at the rear. They seemed to block insertin the stereo fully. I am sure I was doing something wrong but I am a caveman at busted out the Dremel to shave about a 1/8 off the horizontal plastic bar. That solved the fitment issue at he front. Additionally I deleted the two metal tabs at the rear. Problem solved.
Yes! It uses the Maestro module and we flash your module prior to shipping to your exact Jeep! It's not built into the head unit, instead it's attached to your harness!
Maestro and SiriusXM module were attached via velco on the bottom of the unit. Everything all hooked up and ready to go. If this caveman can do it, so can you! See my comments above regarding my challenges and how I solved them. I went caveman to solve.
LOL! If you think that's "not excited" imagine what actually "not excited" looks like! This is peak excitement from Bryan! He spent 10+ years as first responder/firefighter/EMT before joining us, much of that in downtown Washington DC, so he's seen a thing or two, lol!
Totally hear you! The screen can come off - just requires about for screws to be removed, but I know what you’re talking about! Those old detachable face single din radios were cool!
You’ll absolutely benefit from an amplifier! The Kicker speaker kits works great with the factory or aftermarket head unit, but you’ll get even more out of the with a dedicated amp! We’ll have amplified solutions very soon on our site!
@@BantamOverland thankyou!! If i were to instal this now, and get an amp and sub down the road. Would it need to be completely rewired to the speakers? Would it be best to wait and do it all at once? I have the OEM sound system with the Uconnect headunit(not the alpine audio upgrade).
2007’s have a different center console portion. You have to remove the top of the dash by removing two 7mm bolts, then two 7mm bolts down low in the center console behind either the panel or netting. Then gently pop the clips holding the dash panel on. It won’t come all the way off, but then remove the four 7 mm from the radio and remove and unplug radio. That’ll do it.
Could you please consider doing a video for the older JKs? This is just too different for my comfort level. If I’m going to invest this much money into a stereo, I am just nervous about messing things up. Or not being able to use the items being sold.
