I have wiring harness that I used with my Tj, attached pic. Can I use the same harness to plug into the factory JK wire harness? For now I'd like to get the single din radio until future radio upgrade. My rollbar/knee panel speakers and tweeters have been upgraded.

I'd say no...for one any aftermarket harness has to tell the computer via the CAN bus the radio is there and to turn on the relay to supply power.

I pulled the factory radio from my 2012 while we were driving to Montana via dirt roads and wired in a $20 cheapo from Walmart. Crimping connections while bouncing is fun. The harness adapter was $50 but I figured I can reuse it when we purchase a decent double DIN stereo.

Picked up the radio interface kit and it worked like a champ. Just don't have steering control options. Went with single din and sounds good with the new speakers.
