Hey, I just want to drop you a line and thank you for this video. I bought this same kit from Amazon after watching your video and it was really easy to install after seeing what you did. I appreciate you and it turned out great. The system is beautiful.
I just bought the exact same radio. It just got delivered and I've been watching videos on how to install. This is by far the best. I think I'm going to order new clips for the dash. Also, I have a cell phone mount tray on top that I'm going to have to figure out how to modify the one that came with this unit two accommodate the Mount.
Thanks , very clear description. Looking forward to more videos. I've had my 2013 JK since 2013, Should have gotten one years ago, Love it. I will be using your video to install my new Awesafe unit this week.
I bought the one linked in your description. It was easy, but I'm having an issue with the backup cam also. I couldn't find any troubleshooting info. Are there some hidden camera settings?
This video also convinced me to purchase the awesafe unit. I'm having issues with strong echo reported on the other end when making/receiving phone calls. Any one else have this problem and have some advice?
Since this video they have changes along of the settings like the logo change....also I added the USB ports and instead charging the phone it drains the battery
How's it holding up after a year? Just ordered mine for my '14 JKU. Did yours come with a backup cam? Interested in seeing how that looks. Great video! got this saved and ready to reference once I install mine.
Good video. For the backup camera it will not work unless the jeep is programmed at the dealer or you have to buy the programming harness with one time license to make it work. Luckily mine was programmed before.
2013 JK Struggling with touch screen plastic snapping into dash piece? Removed vents, ordered new clips, have not received. They did make improvements, CarPlay now included, screen comes attached. Plugged it in, electronics look and work great, very happy with 10" touch screen. Any suggestions appreciated. On the bright side, I can now remove and install a JK dash in less than 60 seconds. I am hoping new clips will secure & align everything. Otherwise send back and try one that uses the OEM 4 screws. Appears same 10" head unit with different mount?
Thanks for the video. Any chance you could tell what radio part number you got and why I need a code? My stock radio took a crap and and I bought the same one but when I plugged it in it never powered on, so I don’t know if this has anything to do with a code or not?
Thanks! The fenders are EAG-- a brand we no longer endorse. Their powdercoat is junk and flakes off in a year. We had to fully strip and repaint these flares.
Great install Vid JD! Just currious, I prchased the latest version, 6 ram, for my jeep patriot. Looks like i have same steering wheel as you, volume and seek buttons on the back. MIne has the 9 speaker factory Boston Acustics Sound system with Factory Amp. Im just curious, is your Jeep equipted with the same or similar? I havent seen an install video yet where the poster mentions what there origional equipment is. Thanks in advance for any info you can provide.
Yeah man mine sounds like crap if I don't keep moving it then today it started cutting out every 5 seconds...pissed but I have been looking for an excuse to upgrade lol
great video, my Bro just bought a Junsun for his 2019 jeep wrangler limited, what kind of harness would best be compatible with his Junsun multipole car player that would allow the steering wheel volume to be working as well.
My I-phone connects through wireless. Why would I need the additional connector? Also I am unable to download my Jeep logo is this connector the only was to get the apx file?
I have almost the same unit. Mine came with all the same dash pieces but my head unit came mounted in the dash trim and I have different android software. Mine came with wireless apple CarPlay, no dongle needed which is why I chose this one. I too, as well can not get the backup camera to turn on automatically when I put my manual shift transmission into reverse. If you find a fix for that please let me know. But great detailed install and overview video 👍🏼
@@noboundaries8981 i got a notification asking about the fix. idk if it was you or not. Well anyways. so the dongle that connects to the camera, i believe it's yellow, it has a red cable attached to it. the red cable is for an electric signal in case the car is manual. the signal needs to come from the reverse lights. In the video I shared around minute 10, he shows how to strip a little of the reverse lights cable to connect it to the yellow dongle. Let me know if this helps
@@silosmauricio yes I FINALLY found the correct “trigger” wire for the backup camera. On mine it is a pink wire that you have to tap into. And it actually has the backup guide lines that turn when you turn the steering wheel. Pretty cool and was unexpected. It also shows a image if you have proximity sensors hooked up, it will let you know when you are getting too close to something. Unfortunately I don’t have those sensors
Have same color jeep and orange accents too just picked this stereo up for 50$ believe it or not on the market place so excited to install this video helped alot also the 2 wires you didn't connect off the harness what did they do
How do you get the unit to beat up to carplay everytime you get in the car mines boots up to android and I have to go through the connection process everytime I get in the Jeep
I installed this system and I can’t get it to retain my settings when I cut the car off and back on. Like time, date, what was played last. Suggestions?
Anyone else getting GPS error with Iphone? Mine keeps my location set to somewhere else and I have to reset my 3D calibration to reset it, only works for two days then resets.
How can we add a backup camera to our 2013 Jeep Rubicon with this apple car play system? Do you have links? Just to make sure this car play you have linked is a apple car play? Android threw me off, we have iphones not android
I’ve been delaying to buy since it’s says 2015-2016 as well. The one they have listed 2011-2014 doesn’t appear have the flush harness. The few pictures people looks like it floating over the AC vents. Thanks JD for confirming. Thanks for the video!!!
@@ronimiguel141 I was trying to snap in the steering dash piece, doesn’t line up. I’ll have to get a new dash piece I suppose. Hopefully they just send that
nice video. I have been wanting to do something like this but I have 2 aftermarket amps that I would need to hook up . does this unit support adding amps and a sub?
I have an '09 Rubicon with the UConnect head unit. The '09 doesn't have steering wheel controls. Do they have a kit to fit the earlier model? Also, does it replace all the other UConnect integrations for radio, phone, and Sirus/XM?
Did you purchase the same one linked in the description? If so, that's strange. It is supposed to come with the dash pieces. I would reach out to AWESAFE
Tried to install and the left piece doesn't even go in. Based on some of the reviews, I believe I was sent the wrong piece. Hopefully that company gets back to me.
Hey, I just want to drop you a line and thank you for this video. I bought this same kit from Amazon after watching your video and it was really easy to install after seeing what you did. I appreciate you and it turned out great. The system is beautiful.
Did you need an other part to get audio
Is this IP rated? If the tops are off and it gets wet, will be be safe?
Hello, I have a 2012 jeep wrangler sport ultimate. Did you have any difficulties with install of the new radio?
I just bought the exact same radio. It just got delivered and I've been watching videos on how to install. This is by far the best.
I think I'm going to order new clips for the dash.
Also, I have a cell phone mount tray on top that I'm going to have to figure out how to modify the one that came with this unit two accommodate the Mount.
Is the one in the video by awesafe? Not sure if his link is the same one?
I appreciated the price the most. Gives me hope that sooner rather than later, I'll be able to upgrade my stereo lol. Great video.
Hi, having same issue in regards to the backup camera, can you show how you were able to set it up with AV? Thanks
Thanks , very clear description. Looking forward to more videos. I've had my 2013 JK since 2013, Should have gotten one years ago, Love it. I will be using your video to install my new Awesafe unit this week.
Thank YOU!!! Been comparing multiple units and I'm sold. Def won another subscriber here.
I gotta convince my buddy to get one if these instead of a double din. This is badass!!!!
Did your steering wheel buttons work still? Volume and track select?
Why do people make videos like this then just completely ignore the comments
Bought this for my right hand drive everything worked perfect I just had to cut my cluster dash bessel. Love it
What are your headlights?
Helpful vid man! What headlights are those in the wrangler they look great
Solid video, did it come with a backup camera? How is the quality of the mic for the bluetooth?
Great video ! After 2 years do you still like it or did some things disapoint you?
Yo, i wanted to know if you can maybe do a 2 years later review on this unit?
So I got it. Plugged everything in. Why isn’t it turning it on?
Did you resolve that issue? I'm having the same trouble
Mine won't turn on either
I bought the one linked in your description. It was easy, but I'm having an issue with the backup cam also. I couldn't find any troubleshooting info. Are there some hidden camera settings?
Are Lyrics displaying on Spotify?
This video also convinced me to purchase the awesafe unit. I'm having issues with strong echo reported on the other end when making/receiving phone calls. Any one else have this problem and have some advice?
Thank you for your video especially about the clipping nubs part needed help making it fit. Appreciate you! 🙏👌🙌
Great video. How is it in 2023?
Since this video they have changes along of the settings like the logo change....also I added the USB ports and instead charging the phone it drains the battery

Hope he replies. I’m curious how it’s holding up.
What is the part number to the kit you got?
Thank you very much for your help in selecting a new radio gizmo. You’re great.
Im happy you mentioned rhd cause i been wondering if it would fit
What about camera in the back
I just bought one. Do you need the Apple CarPlay adapter or no? It’s confusing in the description.
How did you get the Spotify loaded and get the car play to work
Good video.
For the backup camera it will not work unless the jeep is programmed at the dealer or you have to buy the programming harness with one time license to make it work. Luckily mine was programmed before.
This might have been mentioned but didn’t see or hear it anywhere…so your steering wheel controls Still work after this install?
Mine still work, just installed it today
Mine aren’t working for some reason
The link you provided is the whole kit or do you have different link for all that you used ?

Did everything work out for you?
I got this and its perfect just need some good equalizer settings any suggestions?
Still need this plz
were you able to get the factory satellite radio to work? i cannot see a place to plug in the factory satellite cable
Hey man I wanted to ask you, with this unit can you screen share your phone (TH-cam tv, Netflix) while driving? Thank you!
Yes!
How? Through what app?
Link now goes to a Nhopeew unit. Is it the same?
Thanks for the video. Any chance you could tell what radio part number you got and why I need a code? My stock radio took a crap and and I bought the same one but when I plugged it in it never powered on, so I don’t know if this has anything to do with a code or not?
Can you send me the link to the radio you bought? I have a 2012 jeep wrangler sport Ultima. Thank you for making the install hopefully easy for me.
What is the USB cable that comes out used for?
Does this support AM radio too?
I need help on the camera I stall around on this kit
What fenders are those
Do you have to be connected to WiFi to get the boot logo?
So do we have to have the Apple car play adapter for a 2017 Jeep with the newer model?
Nice Jeep what fenders are you running
Thanks! The fenders are EAG-- a brand we no longer endorse. Their powdercoat is junk and flakes off in a year. We had to fully strip and repaint these flares.
What’s the name of that radio
Do you know how to keep the agency subwoofer working? With this same stereo I also have the cambus
How do we get the Jeep logo
have you installed the Carobotor dashboard upgrade yet?

I just facing the same issue with backup camera, turns out need connect red cable from backup camera to pink cable in head unit.
Does it work with your steering wheel phone and audio controls?
Should work since it comes with canbus module. I am thinking of getting one for my jeep wireless version.
Is it reliable? And waterproof.
How many watts is that head unit? How many channels? Does it have to go to an amp? Thx!
Yeah man mine sounds like crap if I don't keep moving it then today it started cutting out every 5 seconds...pissed but I have been looking for an excuse to upgrade lol
Now you've got an excuse haha! Send it!
Mine just started cutting out did you end up fixing it or buying a new ome
A question what do you do with the mic cable?
great video, my Bro just bought a Junsun
for his 2019 jeep wrangler limited, what kind of harness
would best be compatible with his Junsun multipole car player
that would allow the steering wheel
volume to be working as well.
Do you have to have that adapter dongle to use Apple car play or can you just use the Bluetooth?

I should probably read the comments, but does this have an amplifier with it or is there a separate amplifier outside the jeep unit?
How does it connect to internet for Spotify gps etc?
I can’t figure out how to get my bmw to use aux setting or use steering wheel volume control
did you have a chance to mess qith the sound settings? i am intersted in a very specific one, subwoofer control, does it have it?

Correct. CarPlay needs to be loaded onto the device.
They updated there system, you no longer need the dongle for apple play
I bought this unit. It did NOT come with the new dashboard parts. Is there any other way to get those two dash pieces?

Which company did you buy it from they ran out on Amazon :(
Can this screen work on a 2016 jeep wrangler unlimited sport
My aux broke too
Nice work
Will this fit a 2016
The 2016 dash pieces are slightly different so you may encounter some slight fitment issues. Otherwise, the radio should work just the same
