How to Install Aftermarket Radio (Jeep Wrangler 2011-2017)

Installing an aftermarket radio adds more functionality and improves our sound. In this video I show you step by step how to remove a radio, install the new head unit and connect all the wiring. Let's add our Pioneer AVH-1330 NEX double din DVD / CD player that features apply car play (The AVH-2300 has Android Auto). I'll also use a iDatalink Maestro to retain factory features

Dude. THANK YOU. I went through dozens of videos before this one where I swear the person was TRYING to confuse me. Haha. This was so clear and shot perfectly. (Borat voice) VERY EXCITE!

[aaronmanley]

Man, simply put, thank you!
This video and description gave me everything I needed to get the correct components to install a new head unit in my 2015 Jeep Wrangler. Additionally you provided all the info needed for the adapters and kits to complete the install.... R.O.C.K.S.T.A.R! Clear, concise, & to the 👉! THANK YOU 🙏

I was a professional installer back in the day. You do quality work.

If youre having an issue where you can see into the dash from the bottom of the radio you can trim 1/8th inch off in the inside top and bottom lip of the kit that touches the front sides of the radio. Helps a ton on the radios that don't have a motorized screen as they sit much further out.

Thanks for this video. I was having a short in my radio. Sometimes it would play and sometimes not. I used your video to help me get my radio out. Thanks a lot you saved me money by watching and using your video.

[justinmurphy]

I'm glad you posted this video. Basic techniques that can never be talked about enough. With the internet and everything today, you think you would pull a radio out of a car and it would look normal LOL. Nope. Even with all this knowledge right there in front of people we still fine cluster bombs behind the dash!
By the way, I love your new backdrop and display. It's awesome that you spent the time to do that. Image does matter plus it shows off your passion.
Happy New Year Mark and I'm so looking forward to 2018!

[chrisensey]

This post helped immensely. The only thing I ran into that was a problem was the CH1 has a control cable that is jeep wrangler specific. I didn't see that. Once I hooked it up everything worked great. The other small issue was the metal support piece that is surrounding the stock head unit. That needs to go for the new double din to fit. Otherwise you covered everything!

[timodonnell]

In the beginning I was like... YEAH I GOT THIS.... 1 min in i was like nah... going to pay someone to do it! lol Same Jeep tho.. so maybe ill give it a shot. stay tuned for my foul ups lol

[josea.garcia]

Mark that was a great video!!! You did a fantastic job at explaining everything point by point from start to finish!!! Great job!!! 👍👍👍

[TransparentlyReal]

Hey Mark, thanks for this video! I have a Jeep JK and will follow this for my own install. One question: Could you say more about how you wired in the remote wire to the amps? I see the thicker blue wire connected to the harness, but you don’t mention the process in the tutorial. Would love to see how you connect the remote wire to the deck and then to the amp(s). Thanks!

This is old. I just updated my 2016 Jeep with an android v12 . It was truly plug-and-play and extremely easy and more professional looking. A lot has changed in 5 years

[chrisduffy]

Great video. I have a 2013 Jeep Wrangler (no factory AMP) and replacing radio with a Pioneer AVH-2330NEX using a Maestro harness. I get everything to work except no sound from speakers. Can't figure it out. Any ideas? Thanks

[vgullotta]

Excellent dude. I'm about to do up my Jeep. Just need a new head unit that I'm about to order and then I'm putting it all together. I'll send you some pics via instagram when done. So excited to get all this stuff done!

[coreycoffman]

Great video. Installing a new head unit in my jeep this morning. This saved me some time and head aches :)

[davidberryhill]

If a jeep has a factory sub, does that mean it's factory amplified? If so, does that interface keep you from having to do a amplifier bypass?

[vincestermin]

Great job on this video. You really simplified a overwhelming process.

[Indyplumber]

I just want to confirm that you did reinstall the uConnect module w/o the usb and secondly were you able to use the factory microphone or did you have to install the microphone that came with the pioneer head unit?

[thisguybuilds]

Hey Mark did you install the Bluetooth microphone that comes with the pioneer headunit? I’m going to be installing a Kenwood DMX 7704s in my 2013 silverado using an idatalink maestro but I’m not sure if the factory Bluetooth mic will work or do i have to use what came with the new headunit.

[chrisfasouletos]

Great video- did you keep the factory blue tooth microphone or did you switch out the mic that came with the new HU?

[dojsvim]

If I don’t want to use the maestro, will the t-harness still work for my radio? Don’t have the money for everything right now, so I want to do everything slowly.
