Awesome video. Thanks!

[@nancyrobinson7077]

couldnt find any other video showing what to do with the ignition wire, thank you!

[@shadeie6395]

It is soooo hard to find older jeep wrangler upgrade videos! I have the exact jeep and I was wondering if I would be able to modernize it. Thanks for the video!

[@artysmotorsports]

I am glad you found it helpful. More upgrades are on the way 👍

[@wenzejb]

:-) That's an older jeep?

[@convertiblejay4857]

Nice and the link has everything! Sweeeet!

[@locopoco4761]

Does the harness in that kit work also?

[@artysmotorsports]

What model jeep do you have ? For some of the fancy versions you need a different one

[@joesisco8921]

Thanks for the video 👍🏼

[@artysmotorsports]

Thanks for watching 👍

[@cre8tivegarage157]

Double din is the way to go Trust 🔥🔥

[@artysmotorsports]

Yes indeed.

[@cre8tivegarage157]

I installed on in my NA Miata love it

[@artysmotorsports]

@@cre8tivegarage157 it's an awesome upgrade on those older cars. This is the same unit I installed in my 240 but I pulled it out before I sold it since the new owner wanted the cheapest deal possible.

[@cre8tivegarage157]

Aye it all worked out 💪🏿

[@jaimeperez5572]

Good vid bro !!

[@Hopejohns]

Nice one. New friend.

[@user-eg1zm5oj6i]

did you like the Kenwood dmx125bt? Planning on a adding a subwoofer in the near future.

[@artysmotorsports]

It started having software issues and I missed the volume knob. I prefer the Sony xav ax1005dab

[@captawesome1622]

Did your dash throw lights? Normally a canbus adapter is required for low and high speed jeeps! Also did you wire for Uconnect?

[@artysmotorsports]

No lights on the dash. And no I didn't wire for uconnect. That might be a newer jeep thing

[@Wolfpacker80]

How / where do you find the harness adapter and the face plate skirt?

[@artysmotorsports]

I've been able to find everything I need through Amazon or ebay.

[@Trey-Truelove]

Do you need a radio replacement interface? I just dont want to go off and buy one if i dont need it becasue they are expensive.

[@artysmotorsports]

In most vehicles when you go from stock to aftmarket you do. I'd strongly suggest you contact tech support from a trusted site. I've used crutchfield.com for many years and have nothing but positive things to say about them

[@catpartsforyou]

Do you have any issues with your mic placement? I have people tell me they get a feedback of thier voice when on bluetooth calls. I currently have my mic placed on the little cubby above the radio.

[@artysmotorsports]

Not in this vehicle I've heard of that issue when the speakers are facing the mic.

[@johnhuljak6740]

Is that Screen you just installed single DIN or Double DIN? I have same model and didn't know if I had to buy single DIN.

[@artysmotorsports]

The one I got is a double din but doesn't play cds or dvds it's a media player. the unit itself is a bit smaller than a regular double din that does play cds.

[@breewester7069]

how do you take the top piece off

[@artysmotorsports]

Pry it up and back.

[@thesneak281]

Did you add a USB port to the cigarette lighter socket? If so link?

[@artysmotorsports]

I did not. Bluetooth was the main source

[@mikemcconkey6659]

What head unit are you installing?

[@artysmotorsports]

Originally I installed a Kenwood dmx125bt. It did ok but I missed having a volume knob so I switched to the Sony xav-ax1000

[@jrtortellini2540]

How does it sound ? Quality compares to old ?

[@artysmotorsports]

Sounds better than the stock unit. Definitely not competition quality but a great upgrade.

[@premium7601]

Could i have the link to the unit looking to buy one. They have a 2010 jeep wrangler unlimited.

[@artysmotorsports]

I believe this unit is discontinued. Check crutchfield.com that's where I've purchased all my audio stuff from

Good luck brother 👍

I have a question on this

[@artysmotorsports]

Shoot.

[@JoseRamirez-mt3je]

Great video. I m doing double din on 07 wrangler but I m not getting any sound. Do you have any other adaptors other than after market harness?

[@artysmotorsports]

No sir nothing else. double check your connections hopefully your head unit isn't faulty...

[@JoseRamirez-mt3je]

@@artysmotorsports what harness did you buy?

[@artysmotorsports]

It was a scosche install kit from Amazon. I listed it in the video description I believe.

[@JoseRamirez-mt3je]

Same one as you. But for some reason mine done have the other black one and other little ones you have. Everything works fine but it just don’t play any sound

[@artysmotorsports]

@@JoseRamirez-mt3je do you have one an unlimited jk ? Or different model ? Some people have had issues where the cheap harness doesn't have the amp wire the ( solid blue wire ) so if your jeep is equiped with an amp from the factory make sure it's connected. Or you may need to try a different harness.

[@TheSchmed]

Funny, base model in 2007 was loaded in 1997.

[@158mollie]

[@officialabe3075]

Is this waterproof?

[@artysmotorsports]

Negative. I'd look into Marine head units for waterproof applications

[@jimbo251987]

Got a harness and all radio will turn on but no sound... i dont have factory amp and sub

[@artysmotorsports]

Which model jeep do you have ?

[@jimbo251987]

@@artysmotorsports 07 jku x base model

[@artysmotorsports]

That's odd. The only times I've heard people have this issue it's because they have a factory Amp. Double check your wiring ? Check to see if there's a solid blue wire in the original harness

[@jimbo251987]

@@artysmotorsports nope no solid blue

[@artysmotorsports]

@@jimbo251987 is it a new or used radio?

This is a tough job for a colorblind person lol

I had to have my son help me make sure I got all the colors right when connecting the harnesses. LOL
