I FOUND THE BEST HEAD UNIT FOR JEEP XJ! SINGLE DIN HEAD UNIT! JEEP XJ INTERIOR MODS!

Hello VT Fam! Today we talk about the next modification for my Jeep Cherokee XJ. For the last year, I have been working on the outside of the Jeep for the most part. However, is about time to start upgrading the interior as well. Starting with the audio system, I decided to get the new Joying 8.8" Single Din head unit, powered by Intel Airmont eight-core 1.8 GHz, and 4 GB of RAM. This device is also packed with TONS of options such as GPS, 4G connectivity, Car Play, steering controls, Etc. To make good use of this Head unit I also bought a new set of 6.5'' JBL GTO 629 Coaxial Speakers to replace the stock ones. Next time we will talk about installation and some of the features of this awesome product.

Would love to see an update to this going over the pros and cons of this unit!

[@Waltorious_Garage]

I had one and liked it at first then realised how slow the GPS was, also how it would make a weird peep sound every 30sec while playing songs via Bluetooth and after noticing how many times it randomly restarted itself I wished I'd gone for a regular head unit... Oh also forgot the bezel on them fades and turns bronze over time... You get what you pay for...

[@Nothingtoya]

It's not exactly cheap at $500. I'd expect it to be better than you described, so that's too bad. I'll just stick to the regular single din head units.

[@jeepinpete4016]

I am looking for a new head unit and speakers for my 2001 xj. This is awesome. Love your videos!

[@VehicleTribe]

Thank you!

[@Whiteandsonsgarage]

Peter Leitzinger yeah looks so much better than the factory one

[@tboneandfootball]

You could have done a double din joying I have it in my 01xj

[@Dunkinblownutzz_1]

Great because I was just about to buy a new head unit for mine because I got new subs / speakers

[@VehicleTribe]

That's awesome, I'll be adding a sub later on, for now just better speakers and the head unit

[@LuisLopez-jg6gx]

You should post more often!

[@VehicleTribe]

I wish I could, but between school and my full-time job, there is not much time left. For now, I will try to do1 video a week

[@johanybotero]

I don’t know why I want such a clean Jeep when I know I just want it for off-roading and going wild! 😅😅

[@InfidelArmz556]

I went with the Yoti 10.1" single din in my xj and love it! It has everything I was looking for aand was under 300 bucks! The mirror link is the favorite feature. Well that and the backup camera amd the JEEP start up logo

[@speaktobrett]

I understand that you need to cut into the air vents to do this mod. Does this mod affect the air conditioning at all?

[@InfidelArmz556]

@@speaktobrett I didnt have to cut any at all with the unit Im running. Its a single din with the 10.1" screen atattched to it so it slides right in the single din dash kit. The screen does sit right at the bottom of the vents but not enough to hurt anything. Wish i could post a pic on here

[@danielresendiz5229]

Iv been planning on getting this same head unit, can’t wait to see how it looks in yours 😎👍🏽

[@VehicleTribe]

Daniel Resendiz install vídeo is coming soon!

[@BostonianBroker]

That music is the most aweful sound I’ve ever heard 😂

[@charleighsmith1377]

Would you think it would be a good first car and if anything goes wrong my dad is extremely handy and can fix it or teach me?

[@VehicleTribe]

I will always recommend Jeep XJs! Great vehicle for an even better price 👍🏻

[@charleighsmith1377]

VehicleTribe thanks for the info!! I’m looking forward to the vids where you install these. If I do end up buying one these upgrades should be some of the first.

[@Ozzy5610]

3WHISKEY2life I got mine about two years ago for $1k, it’s a great durable Jeep, last of it’s kind. You won’t find yourself with any serious engine or transmission woes. The 242 straight six and AW4 transmission are durable, simple in design, and quite strong. Smaller things with age will need changing but XJ’s are very easy to work on, anyone can. Loads of aftermarket options to make it your own too. No regrets picking mine up.

[@jerrodcorey25]

I just bought this exact unit that you did and the cable adapter in your description for my 97XJ I can't wait to get it installed. Are you running the back camera through yours?

[@mattrusty7396]

Did it fit on yours? I have a 98 and I’m trying to find out if it fits.

[@jerrodcorey25]

@@mattrusty7396 email me at jerrodcorey at Gmail dot com. I will send you pictures and show you exactly how it fits and looks

[@TheBeardedJeeper]

Looks good can’t wait to see how it is all installed

[@samfromohio6473]

When is part 2 releasing? Super stoked

[@VehicleTribe]

Sam From Ohio tonight! 🙌🏻

[@Whiteandsonsgarage]

Awesome video mate, sick looking xj, thinking about buying one would you recommend?

[@VehicleTribe]

Cheap Jeeper so far I love it! Tons of features and looks great

[@Sunshinemedia444]

Definitely man! Motor is very reliable, parts are easy to come by, and a HUGE aftermarket! I got a 4dr 140k miles 4wd sport for $2500 back in March 2019.

[@slywolf2025]

I just wish mine had roll up windows instead of electric

[@helmiautoparts4357]

Hi, I know we can’t compare XJ 2001 with WJ 2001-2004 but I hope if you can give advise which one is better to buy generally & why?

[@waltcroy9381]

Getting that for my jeep now

[@alexdofacee299]

have you tested the head unit? how do you like it? any problems?

[@giannisalustri7848]

you forgot to say how many inch is the screen ,please I need the same you show as

[@piotrtetkowski1176]

maybe try to fit the screen inside? behind the cover in the original opening from the radio.

[@mariovegapena9319]

I got the same speakers set on my xj, they sound great, very clear but I guess I nedd to install an amplifier to help the stereo (alpine 50x4 watts) whit power, when I turn up volume it shut off.

[@anothermoonlight23]

does the speaker fit well? or do you have to modify and make pots on the door? Thanks

[@David798s]

So I see you follow my steps 💪😎 I also changed my speakers and I also add AMP & subwoofer but this was long time ago... Now I need to follow your steps and do my walkthrough video and... I got some bonus staff as well that is a secret for now ;)

[@dlndookie23]

Would the headunit fit 1996 jeep grand Cherokee?

[@JoseDiaz-pk2pd]

Nice xj what size wheels and tires are you runing?

[@michaellabruna1787]

Dose it have a back up camera?

[@jacobg730]

Would this fit in a mj comanche

[@VehicleTribe]

jacob g I’m pretty sure it will

[@TACTICALWOOKIE]

Lmao it’s made of metal it must be good…

[@jonzuerlein6657]

Well it fit a 1990 Jeep Cherokee?

[@sincitydude7296]

Do you know if that'll work in a 96 ZJ

[@justjsse8917]

The 6.2 with no mods, the 7 inch works with a little mod, but its just moving the climate controls where the radio goes and putting the radio in its place so its in the middle. Super easy, just 4 extra screws you gotta move

[@E30Tylerrr]

Would this work on a 96 xj ?

[@menumakezombienoises]

I cut the hell outta my dashboard to put a double din head unit with car play in 😂

[@VehicleTribe]

MenuZipsipi lol 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@speaktobrett]

How did it turn out? Happy with the results? Did it affect your air-conditioning at all?

[@Rozza43]

Does it have GPS capabilities?

[@luisrazor5018]

Is really a $476 dlls radio?

[@adamswaz4878]

Can you watch youtube on this head unit

[@michaelbmw1931]

What is The best motor in xj?

[@bobquattrini1787]

4.0 Beast...My 1999 Cherokee Xj has almost 400,000 Mile's and is just like New

[@robertbelt5515]

I called "Crutchfield" they are specialists in audio & video equipment, and have been in the industry since the early 70's I'm old school when it comes to my music & sound quality, talked with Marshall @ Crutchfield and he hooked me up with an awesome sound system for my 95' XJ I've still got a ton of CD's from the early 90's and I wanted to be able to listen to them, I'm not wild about Pandora, Spotfly, and all of the other electronic music apps out there, you just can't get that quality sound like you can from a CD, Navigation Systems are alright if you do a lot of traveling, but I'll take a good Map & Compass over a GPS any day, especially when I'm Overlanding or Trailriding with a group, Good Luck with the installation and I'll be waiting to see the video, my system was pretty simple to install, they sent me the Metra Harness's for all of the speakers & a plug & play harness for the Head Unit, only took about 3-4 hours to install the whole system,

[@pabloleon5324]

Will this works on a 98ZJ?

[@VehicleTribe]

Not sure, you will have to check with them

[@giannisalustri7848]

i see 8.8 ok

[@xxfullmotionxx]

Which version of Android has

[@VehicleTribe]

If you watched the video is there 3:42 they are about to release a newer version

[@andrewfinneganallen2268]

I mean I’m just gonna do a iPad when it comes to audio plus it’ll be able to do a lot more

[@cesarnl18]

He never installed it

[@Whiteandsonsgarage]

Julio Villarreal saved it for the next video

[@M4N111]

Q pedo :v

[@Dufius12345]
