Can you help me please, install an android radio to an amplified Wrangler Original, I don't have sound output in the back or subwoofer, should I use the same interface to enable everything?

I have a Jeep commander 2009 will the parts used on the video fit on it ? I already bought the stereo I’m missing the module interface, the harness and the kit base

[@lintonlin]

do the harnesses work with all radios or only the one in this video

[@carsonday5748]

Very educational. I'm doing a 2007 commander tomorrow and this showed me exactly wat I'm getting into thank you so much

[@kubapuchacz]

Did it work, DVD player and all working properly?

[@TheBelcherMan]

Just an update, this video does not apply to 2008 model year. At least the Limited and most likely 09 and 10 models. I just did my 2008 Limited with Boston Acoustic factory option. Just reading the title I assumed this would apply to my 2008 Commander, nope! The factory HU was a RER 730N. Touch screen was just about done for, made it impossible to use. Using the suggested accessories, I was able to retain complete functionality of the factory experience. I choose an Alpine iLX-F509 HU. Just amazing! Everything works, steering wheel volume controls, factory backup cam, not a single thing lost. Just a bad ass 9" wireless Car Play HU that should outlast the vehicle. Let's hope so, he's only 16 and boys will be boys. flawlessly Super simple now, not like this was difficult on this 06. These are my instructions based on the above specs: 1. Turn the key on and put the car in drive, to get gear shift leaver out of the way. 2. Disconnect Battery 3. Remove chrome ring around gear selector (only clips) 4. Remove black surround around the gear selector (only clips) 5. Remove rubber tray insert from the storage area at the bottom of the climate controls. 6. Remove Cross headed screw in the back on the storage area 7. From the bottom start prying off the climate controls. Just clipped in. 8. Remove 4 screws and remove factory Head Unit. 9. Done You no longer need to remove the 16 Alen bolts and remove the dash bezel. Just completely different in the 2008 that I have. The rest of the video is bang on.. Big shout out to these guys for getting me on my way. Job well done. You guys are good! You have another subscriber :)

Does it also work with the second row DVD player?

[@NJPoolboy]

2006 Commander here, new radio sounded excellent on test, I made a mistake on the dip switches, so will try again. The part listed for the backup camera did not work with any of the harnesses that were behind my unit. There were two extra harnesses in my old radio (factory amplified with video entertainment system), one white one, and 2 grey ones, both smaller than the main harness. I figured I'll try again another day. Please correct that link to the backup camera, though.

[@NJPoolboy]

don't know if this will get a reply, but I got everything from amazon as stated. Only weird thing was the pink wires. Vehicle Speed Sensor and on the unit i believe it is parking brake. I see that you left the speed sensor off. will do the same. (will just cap those 2 wires).

[@maxxmich]

need to show bow to do it with a non nav unit... and also where can j get a dash with the nav citout.. dj t wanna cut my original dash up

[@juanca17ful]

Hello, good afternoon, you know that I also have a Komander and I made this one the same. Maybe you did it, but the steering wheel controls do not work, the amplifier did work, and everything except the steering wheel controls.

[@Marsh-if5gt]

Great video. Did the same exact install. However I have a noticeable hum coming out of the speakers...any help?

[@JABlongSKI]

Me as well, can't figure this out. It's got me stumped, I have triple checked everything little thing.

[@akaredcrossbow]

I have a 2006 Jeep Commander Limited w/factory amp. There is an older Boss HU in there now. I haven’t opened the dash yet, but I noticed on my Metra interface harness there are two connectors that come off of the harness that are supposed to plug into the truck side factory harness. I noticed you only have one connector at the truck side to plug into. Do I only use one of the two connectors or do I have the wrong harness? Thanks!

[@DavidLarson15]

Well I'm a couple hours into an install on my wife's Jeep and I don't think it's possible to make this work. The 2008 limited has a different cutout opening that does not allow a double DIN to fit. Have all the wearing done but I can just not get the head unit to fit in the dash without cutting.

[@joeplacek784]

Followed instructions to a T but mine wouldn’t turn on or anything when I installed. Screen is black, no sound, nothing. Any ideas? Also, the antenna you linked in the video isn’t the right one

[@ProvoBeastAudio]

Hey there, Jeep changed the antenna adapter from the 40-CR10 (2006 - 2007) to the 40-EU10 (2008-2010) mid generation! I have those linked in the description, so be sure to get the correct one for your year! As for no power, send us a message on facebook and we can assist!

[@akaredcrossbow]

Why spend more money on a harness that doesn’t let you use the fade control. My had an aftermarket Boss head unit with a Metra harness when I purchased the vehicle. It was connected to the factory amp and the fade worked properly. I just installed a Kenwood head unit with a new Metra harness, but the fade control is now gone. I also noticed that the access/metra harness for the Boss radio was for a 2007 Chrysler not a 2006.

[@mikeblanchard7579]

I'm having trouble with the swc cable, I don't know where to connect it. In your video you plug it into the red end but mine doesn't have that....I'm lost

[@ProvoBeastAudio]

All depends on the brand of radio and the harness adapter you are using. Way too many variables to help until we get more info

[@mikeblanchard7579]

@@ProvoBeastAudio yeah true. I bought everything listed in this video except the head unit, I bought a different one as it had a USB input right on the front of the unit so I didn't have to run that flush mount USB. Anyway the harness that came with the head unit didn't have that female 3.5mm plug like the one in this video so the crux kit says to cut off the 3.5mm male end and wire it in using key1 and key2 wires except my harness only has one labeled key1 and the only other wire not being used is a blue one labeled antenna

[@jorgeinfante2933]

Great video!! Congratulations and thank you, this video helped me much! Im installing in my Jeep commander 2007 with boston audio a alpine iXL-507 stereo, but I dont know if I must connect the wire "POWER ANT / SUB - AMP of interface crux. Could you helo me with this doubt?

[@thesolarstalker]

Great video! Thank you. I have the same setup you are installing and it's going into my 2007 Jeep commander. I had 1 snag and that is the antenna adapter from Metra that you are using. However, the one I got has a completely different connector from the 1 you are using and it won't plug into the dash antenna lead. I Ordered in the one you spec'd out 40-EU10...any suggestions on what I should get that will mate to the dash antenna lead? Hope you can help. Thanks again for a superb video!

With this installation does the rear dvd player still works with the sound of the vehicle?

We have AV system as well...will this same set-up work? (We don't use the AV any longer, just the Aux jack to run phone through). Thanks.

Will this work with the factory back up camera in a 2007 Jeep Commander that has the premium system with NAV ?

I have the BASIC radio with only the 16pin harness and antenna. What is a good plug that I could use without wasting all that extra money? It’s a 2006 Jeep Commander.

[@ProvoBeastAudio]

Hey there, for the super basic harness adapter (no factory amp, no steering wheel volume controls), here you go: amzn.to/44t5GXR

[@stubyjones1]

Hey, do you know how, or if it is even possible to retain the rear view camera? I have an 06 commander (factory nav) with a kenwood head unit. Everything else is working great.

[@ProvoBeastAudio]

Yes, harness linked in the description.

[@stubyjones1]

@ProvoBeastAudio Thanks so much!

[@stubyjones1]

Just FYI, the link for the back up camera harness is for '08 and later. I checked out your video '05-'10 Jeep Grand Cherokee, and I was able to make my own harness from there!

[@jeepguy95]

Those nav radios in the Commanders and Grand Cherokees (as well as other Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep products) tend to have problems... we had an '05 Grand Cherokee with the same radio, and by the time we traded it in, the radio no longer worked.

[@GameToxin]

Could I use a Sony XAV-AX1000 as the stereo and still retain all the factory features?

[@ProvoBeastAudio]

Sure any standard double din will fit.

[@GameToxin]

@@ProvoBeastAudio is the harness situation the exact same?

[@GameToxin]

@@ProvoBeastAudio and how do I know if it supports steering wheel controls and all that jazz.

@@GameToxin Yes, the Crux harness will support any double din. See the description for the parts specific to your year and trim.

I installed the 9" tablet stereo, I cant figure out how to bolt it down when its already in, It can only slide in from the front when everything is put back together

[@ProvoBeastAudio]

That’s the risk you run into when installing noname android units

[@Jack73664]

Help. I have the 2006 Commander with the Boston Acoustics amp. Frequently goes bad. Is there any way to bypass the amp?

[@ProvoBeastAudio]

Yep! And we actually did on this commander as well. We should have the footage up soon.

[@williamziegler9991]

At 7:15 it appears there are two blue/blueish wires going to one wire- will you please clarify what’s happening there?

[@EastSideBoy651]

blue is typically a remote turn on, i could be wrong for this harness, but every stereo i have installed it is usually a remote turn on for an amp.

[@mikeblanchard7579]

Can these wiring harnesses you've listed work with a different stereo purchase? I ask because I noticed when I clicked the link for the stereo you used there were other options that were less expensive

[@ProvoBeastAudio]

For the most part yes. The only difference may be the steering wheel volume control compatibility. This is a pretty cheap radio, anything less expensive generally are no-named cheap Chinese units that may cause you more problems then they are worth.

[@trevcool3]

The CRUX steering wheel control kit, will it work with all aftermarket stereos or just the DUAL? I've got a single DIN clarion Cz702, will it work?

[@ProvoBeastAudio]

Works with most aftermarket radios, yes.

[@sethbentley9784]

I have a 2006 commander and I have bought this harness. There is an extra connector in the dash that I see in your video that you didn’t hook up how come? And what is it used for. It plugs into the stock radio but I don’t see a connector for it on the new harness.

[@ProvoBeastAudio]

Other factory ancillary wiring support for the factory radio that isn't used by the aftermarket head unit. It isn't needed or used in our application.

[@drekingkong1582]

Ok thank you I had the same question 🙏🏽 appreciate that.

[@ricardaperez7510]

Is that commander for sell?

[@aldavino3988]

Can you confirm if the Scosche CRTCR01 Camera Retention wire harness is compatible with Jeep. I followed the link to Amazon but then there are comments the adapter is not and then Scosche is saying they made an error and there is no harness available for jeep. I saw your work-around but would like to avoid splicing wires if I could.

[@ProvoBeastAudio]

Sure is. Used it many times!

[@aldavino3988]

Thank you so much. My 2010 Jeep Commander Limited RER head unit is deceased and looking to replace with the Dual DMCPA70. But primarily to ensure I keep the backup camera. I have steering wheel controls and the Boston factory amp. Can you confirm I have the correct parts for this new head unit. Thank so very much for your KZbin Video.

Will this work with factory backup camera?

Yes it will. Most circumstances there isn't a harness available for this generation to retain that camera, so we usually manually wire in an RCA connections for that factory camera (if so equipped). We used that technique in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oWjZd3WPbZekhrs
