Hey guys just wondering if there are any threads dedicated to aftermarket stereo setups in gen 2s. Also any how toos on installing a deck with the stock stuff? I am looking at upgrading soon but I am not sure the route I want to go. Thanks.
I am looking at adding a Kenwood single din deck so I can stream my music from my phone like I do in my jeep. I was planning on just adding a deck for now and then doing a single sub, speakers, and a 5 channel amp later on. I read somewhere though that you need to run all new wires to the amp to make it work, if that is the case then I would just wait and do it all at once.
Getting wires from the dash area to the trunk area is pretty easy just requires removing interior panels. Probably equates to a weekend project to strip the interior and bolt in parts and run wires. Way more time if you're gonna have to fabricate.
I have a Pyle Flip out head unit with touch screen, BT and GPS if you want it. I pulled it out of my GTS before I sold it. The pre-out is only 2V on the head unit but I'll throw in a Massive Audio EQ to bump it up to 4V and add an extra layer of control....even has a output to add a sub amp and controls for the sub. Pretty slick setup.
If $300 shipped sounds good let me know. That's the head unit, GPS upgrade and EQ.
RE: Adapter... Thanks for your input. Can not find this part anywhere, and been to three different auto shops. I will call my local Chrysler shop for this part. I was ready to remove panels from interior and rewire everything.
Thanks Again!!!
This is half of the equation when taking the easiest path to upgrading the gen 2 headunit. Ill put up the other info if you want it. Chrysler Jeep Dodge Viper Alpine Stereo Radio Amplifier DIN to RCA Adapters New | eBay
Its worth the money to just buy the cable...Ive built a few and this is a bargain for the trouble it saves.
Splice into the 8 DIN. I tried an evening of soldering my own female 8DIN adapter but the joints broke. I got pissed off and bought butt-joints (hehe, butt) and just spliced right into the 8 din itself. I took off about an inch or so off the 8 din so if I need to return to stock I can re-joint it together.
