🖥️ Detailed OEM Infotainment Versions & Specifications

Chrysler and Jeep utilized standard 1.5 DIN radios during these years. Because of this, standard double-DIN (2-DIN) aftermarket radios usually require permanently cutting the dashboard. However, this 5-inch unit avoids that completely:

  • Compatibility: Fully compatible. The Android unit replaces the aging, unsupported factory GPS with live Google Maps/Waze via CarPlay/Android Auto.

As a result, you retain all original cabin speakers with zero wire cutting.

• Native Steering Wheel Controls (PCI Bus): If your WJ is equipped with steering wheel audio controls (located on the front or back of the steering wheel), they operate smoothly via the included steering wheel control interface.
