I got this same Dash kit, but a 7" radio is too wide for it. What radio did you use? Do you know the width of the radio? - What I mean is the kit width does not allow the front of the radio to fit in it.
@@treefellonya This kit works with any standard double din chassis, and works with double dins with 7" screens. If you bought an android based no-name brand radio, those have terrible fitment issues which may be the cause of your issues.
@@ProvoBeastAudio I think you are right. However, I did find a kit that does accommodate those "non standard" double din radios. But, since I wanted "android play" I am looking for another radio. There are some acceptable non standard radios that seem to have some pretty good reviews, and under 100 bux. The Jeep Dash adapter I have will accommodate those. Thanks for responding - your channel is very helpful for die hard Grand Cherokee fans :D
Question about the steering wheel controls. In the OEM configuration, those two wired (red / yellow and red / black) under the steering column must have connected to the OEM radio, right? So why can't you connect to those two wires in the radio compartment of the dash? Why do you have to splice at the steering wheel?
I can see on the door panel that you have the Infinity Gold system. Was there anything special you had to do so that the factory amplifier is still used with the new radio?
As far as I remember, the infinity system on my old grand Cherokee I sold, it used the high level speaker outputs from the head unit and sent them straight to the amplifier to then get amplified even more so the only extra wires I remember removing was a extra remote wire heading to the rear amp that you can just wire up to the key on power wire that is yellow on the aftermarket connector
I have an '02 WJ Grand Cherokee (note that the wiring harnesses are different for 1999-2001 and 2002-2004 models, and you need an antenna adapter for 2002-2004 models as well), and I wish the double-DIN kit was available when I installed my single-DIN Kenwood when I bought the Jeep back in 2014 (I have a KDC-BT758HD, the highest-end NON-Excelon unit with the SiriusXM SXV-300 Tuner Kit). If I were keeping my Jeep (I'm likely selling it to upgrade to a newer Jeep), I'd be upgrading to a Double-DIN unit with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. I AM, however, taking my SiriusXM Tuner Kit with me for use with a future radio, keeping my current Kenwood installed in the Jeep when I sell it.
You gave a link to a different radio for Android and Apple Car Play... is the installation process the same or are the parts different. I want to use my Samsung phone on bluetooth..
I see you still have your skim unit, that was the first item on my list to delete when i got my WJ! i didnt want to get stranded in bum fuk egypt because my key wouldnt work properly, so now no worries dont have to use a chipped key anymore👍

Very well done, and great to the point install with no filler. I appreciate your time and effort to make this video and share with the rest of us!
Best quality workmanship on getting the vent matched up to the bezel
I love my 01. 😊 she deserves nothing but the best bitty bits
Looks modern!
I noticed that you never mentioned the secondary harness needed I think the yellow with blue wire to work. But great video!
Thank you, very well done video!
Thanks for the vid! I look forward to trying this on my 2002!

Ahh such a pain to get this thing to sit flush. On my setup the left side of the bezel pops out. =/

Do I still need the SW kit, if I don't have radio controls on my steering wheel?
how did you even manage to cut the trim panel
You gave a link to a different radio for Android and Apple Car Play... is the installation process the same or are the parts different. I want to use my Samsung phone on bluetooth..
Did you find one? I'm in need of the same fur my daughters 04 grand cherokee
When I bypassed the Ebrake on my 09 Equinox all I did was hook the ebrake wire to the ground.
Works with most brands but alpine and some pioneer receivers.
hey does this also work for apple carplay?
This specific model doesn't have apple CarPlay, but here is a super budget branded unit with carplay: (paid link) amzn.to/404bSnJ
Dude you totally disserviced people. How did you cut the dash. The wiring is a no brainer. It's the cutting

2 plugs are not factory my jeep has 1 black plug and ant connection only
Depends on the generation…
99-01 are different than 02-04
Doesn't look right without the wood trim, imho.
I'm sure you could track down similar vinyl looking trim and add it back!
Come do mine for me
