Then you can throw in the oddball packages like mine has - the Oscar Mike Freedom Edition. It's essentially a sport but has color matched fenders (like most Saharas) and accent colored bumpers and grill (which I have now replaced with all black), leather trimmed seats with special stitching, a...

I just got done installing the powered sub today. I ended up putting it behind the rear seat as I rarely store more back there than the side windows when the top is down and a backpack I keep all my gear in. I ran everything behind the head unit except for the ground. For that, I used the...

I have an aftermarket Kenwood head unit installed and have replaced all of the factory located speakers with Kicker replacements. Huge difference over what it sounded like when I got it. Just lacking bass. I have a small powered 8" Kicker sub on order and I'm hoping it will fit under the...

Yes, heard and thought about it. I have no complaints about stopping power and am generally easy on brakes with the exception of the occasional idiot drivers that have to be avoided at the last second. I don't log a ton of miles, so replacing pads every 30 to 40k would still not be a very...

I installed a Fab Fours stubby bumper. While it has mounting points for the round factory fog lights, the cutouts are 3" square with mounting tabs above the cutouts for mounting LED cubes if you choose. Wondering if anyone has replaced their fog lights with LED's and just wired them right up...

Went in for first dealer service yesterday since buying my 2015 JK 2 door a few months ago. I'm right at 40k miles. I'm lifted and running 35's so I wasn't surprised when they told me my rear brake pads need replacing. However, I'm a little surprised they said the fronts were okay for now...

I used the Maestro adapter but that was mostly because I already had it. I just had to get the Chrysler harness to replace my GM harness - 30 bucks. It kind of turned out nice though because it does tie in UConnect and such. I didn't install the optional ODBII wiring which would have let me...

I'll preface my response with the fact that I've installed replacement head units in many different vehicles over the years. I ALWAYS use Crutchfield as a source for gear and a resource for support. More recently, YouTube is always a big help as well. All that said, I'm not a pro installer...

Pix it is:

This is the third vehicle I've installed this head unit in and I do have the add-on xm tuner with it. The previous 2 were Chevrolets and both had sat tuners that were external to the head unit. However, on all I was able to tap into the factory sat antenna wire with a fakra to coax elbow...

Mine is a Kenwood DDX8706S but I think it's been replaced now by the DDX9706S. Anyway, I wanted Kenwood and I wanted wireless Carplay and that unit fit the bill from what Crutchfield had available at the time. It has a DVD/CD player behind the screen and I didn't really need or want that but...

Thanks - you are correct, the tuner is in the radio and the fakra antenna connector connects directly to the back of the radio. I replaced the 130 radio with a Kenwood touch screen with Apple Carplay (wireless) and just replaced all 4 6.5" speakers with the Kicker upgrade kit and wow, what a...

Thanks! Bonus for me - it already had one of those installed. Things done so far: Upgraded audio system Removed sliders and installed Havoc bars with integrated steps Rough Country Aluminum front grab bars Rugged Ridge phone mount

I have a Kenwood touch screen head unit I'll be installing in my 2015 JK. I first had it in my C6 Corvette and then moved it to my Chevy 2500. In both Chevy's I was able to tap into the factory satellite antennas instead of installing a separate antenna. My Jeep with the 130 radio has sat...

I did a search and didn't find a topic, so maybe I'm the only one with this issue. I picked up my 2015 JK yesterday and so far everything is great. Well, it has the 130 radio and even with JBL replacement speakers, the audio sucks - but I will remedy that eventually. Anyway, on both sun...

So, as I pass the time until I pickup my TJ tomorrow, I'm looking at the seller's pix for about the 300th time. Finally it hit me what is missing in the rear pic below - no third brake light, or at least none that shows. I've seen the LED circles on some wranglers, among other things. Not...

If the head work will be done under warranty, as this one was, I wouldn't sweat it too much. As I understand it, it's not something that leaves you on the side of the road. The PO says he got a CEL one day and checked the codes and took it to the dealer and they took care of it under warranty...

Your link didn't work, but that's okay. I will probably stick with the 130 and when I get ready to upgrade, I'll go with something with Apple Carplay.

OP, do you or anyone else know if these can be direct swapped for the 130 head unit with no cutting, splicing, etc?

I just posted in the new member forum. Saturday, I take delivery of my new to me JK Freedom Edition. It has less than 40k miles with all service records, including warranty cylinder head work that was done a few thousand miles ago. It presents almost like new and was well taken care of and...
