Jeep Wrangler JK Double Din upgrade help!

Recommended Posts

So Friday I did a thing....ordered a new Jeep. Needless to say im pretty stoked. 

I ordered it with the Sound+Leather Upgrade. But did not opt for the $700 430 HU. Now im looking for a decent in dash to replace the 130 radio. Im just not quite sure what to look for...the last HU/Processor i bought was about 6 years ago (Alpine d310+h701) 

 

Thoughts/Suggestions/Links Please! Thank you in advance

Honestly looking to upgrade the Evo's Double Din too. So open to suggestions on that too. (2015 Evo X GSR)

nice, but that may come later, need the in dash first. Stock radio is just the basic lcd type

I have a 2011 Jeep jku and I got the larger version of that pioneer you posted. it's the avh -x4800bs. I love it , has a great screen , option to change the screen color scheme and button colors. Animated backgrounds or you could upload your own pic. Has all the pre amp outputs I needed. 6 total. Makes a great improvements on the stock sounds. I simply switched it with the stock and the quality improved noticeably. 

 

Be be sure to get the micro relay thing to watch videos while driving.  You're gonna need that to mess with the Bluetooth settings. Also I used a metra dash kit and wiring harness. Worked like a charm. Oh and since you're back there I suggest getting the steering wheel interface thing so you can keep your steering wheel functions for the radio. I used the ones made by axxess. Real simple and it programmed itself.

It's certainly NOT the best aftermarket HU I've owned (it's probably the worst, actually), but I went with the Raxiom made specifically for the JK.  The stock 130 was hot garbage, this unit is infinitely better AND the integration is seamless.  NAV, backup camera, 2 rca outputs plus a dedicated sub output, steering wheel controls, Bluetooth, DVD, etc.  It does everything, but like all Jack-of-all-Trades, it is a master of none (other than integration).  http://www.extremeterrain.com/raxiom-gps-navigation-jk-j101300.html
