[QUOTE="sleniart, post: 428599, member: 19530"] I just recently installed a new CarPlay radio into my 2008 Wrangler. At first the radio worked great, and i could play music from my iphone, but the bluetooth functionality didn't work to make/answer calls handsfree (even when plugged in via USB cable). When i went back to get that fixed....i was told due to me having a premium sound system in the old jeep, it wasn't always compatible with newer radios. Resource from BestBuy that did the install had to detach my tweeter speakers to somehow get the bluetooth working. Now that bluetooth is working to answer/place calls but the radio sounds really tinny and echo like. Anyone heard of this? I'm now being told to buy an amp to help power the speakers to make them sound less tinny....but i'm having a hard time believing a newer radio can't work with all my factory speakers. Especially when it was working perfectly fine just w/out bluetooth functionality. Not trusting BestBuy auto group is doing the proper installation or troubleshooting [/QUOTE]
