This is one of the best how-to videos I have ever watched. I wish everyone who was going to make an instructional video would watch this to see how it should be done. Thank you! I am excited to get the new Boss unit installed in my daughter's Jeep GC.
This video is definitely getting saved to my favorites! Just got financed & im picking up my 2011 Jeep GC tomorrow morning! One of the first things im doing is buying a new head unit. Thanks this is going to make it a lot easier.
you have a true talent of reviewing products and giving directions everything is perfectly explained in all your videos at first i was like what this guy doing with a car radio video but you still crushed it man
Thanks for the great video. I ordered this unit and installed in my 2012 Grand Cherokee along with a Brandmotion back-up camera. Everything works well.
wtcdeals hey there, I also installed this system in my Jeep but am looking for a good backup camera. Do you have the model for the brand motion backup camera you use? It would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
By the way, if you have problem inserting the CD in the radio, what you have to do is before you slide the radio into the dash there are couple screws on top of the radio that needs to be taken out and there is a little red label asking for removal of those screws, both the DVD for movie and CD for music work.
Awesome tutorial! I have a jeep Cherokee 2011 will this work the same for that year? As we’ll do this unit come with everything you showed in the box? I’d like to order this for my lady Jeep!Also I’d like to know the model of this unit because the link you have down for eBay doesn’t work anymore!
Great video....what is the name make and model number of the radio cause I also have a Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo and would like to install one in my truck......
Can you do a new updated video on how it's worked for you so far and how to operate it. I would really like to order this for my jeep but want to know if it's worth it
***EDIT/ UPDATE: 3 years later, Feb 2020 it shit the bed...tits up... About 9 months before it crapped out, it couldn't keep time. It kept going back to 00:00 every time I started the Cherokee. I thought maybe I could reset the radio, but I couldn't find any where in the manual about a reset button. It mentions a reset, but nowhere in the manual does it show you where the damn button is... Then, out of the blue in Feb, the audio quite... No more sound. So, I removed the unit and and was starting to open her up to look for anything obvious. As I was looking for all the screws I noticed this little ittty bitty circular looking dot this next to the MicroSD card slots...and low and behold... THE RESET BUTTON!!!!! After finding that, I plugged her back in, pushed the reset button and WA LA.........NOTHING!!! It did absolutely SQUAT!!!!! Now I'm in the the market for a nicer one...however, it's not as easy as you'd think, especially for a "Plug N Play" unit... mayiandjay, Hello from a fellow Floridian, St. Pete... I just bought a very well taken care of 2011 last Saturday. I watched your vid on UA-cam the following Wednesday, I just bought this head unit today, Friday... Can't wait to get it installed... Got it for $322 free shipping from Cali...on ebay... Diggin' it!!! If you see this post, could you possibly give a small update on how it's been since your install? Any issues? Thank you for the tutorial. With your guidance, I should have this installed within an hour...
Good looking stereo, but how is it now? Are the steering wheel controls, Bluetooth and all the other items still working good? Thank you for your response.
Installed ours last night and the search buttons on the steering wheel are backwards, volume works fine. Does yours turn off the display when putting the car into reverse? I haven't found a way to disable this.
Great video! Will your phone bluetooth connect to the unit you featured in the video? Sounds like I heard supports usb 2.0 correct? or do you have to use the usb cable and will it pull up the iPhone home screen? How hard was it to fit all the wires inside behind the unit? Question as I have a 2011 Jeep GC, could you suggest a model of the radio that has navigation too and has the correct screw holes on the upper and bottom sides? Perhaps model with a backup camera too?

Were you able to use the steering wheel controls with that radio? And is there a review video of it? My 2011 is getting the sound cut out issue every day now
Hello, great video. I clicked on the link you displayed and it doesn't find the page on Ebay. Do you know the name of the store or ebayer you bought it from? Thanks again
Jay, I enjoyed and appreciated your video. It is a big help; I was curious ho you maneuvered the cord to the Nav antenna. and also does it have an adhesive side to stick it to something to keep it from moving. ThanX
My 2012 JGC radio is acting up. It scans unexpectedly. Freezes up, looses its preset stations. I have a bumper to bumper warranty on the entire vehicle. Should I pay to get a aftermarket
But who's GPS system do they use? My reason for wanting to get rid of my 2011 stock GPS is cause it sucks!!!!! I don't want to do a dvd based one anymore... any please help ready to buy!! I am in southern NH
How do you set the time? And why does the radio reset the time to 12:00 after the Jeep has been turned off ?, Also the cd/dvd player doesn’t work it doesn’t pull the disc in properly
@@kevinreeeder82 I wish I could help you with the time thing... Mine started doing that about 9 months ago... Now....mine totally crap out on me... but as I was messing with my unit, I found out where the "RESET" button is, maybe you can try that... It's located next to the MicroSD card slots way up in the top right corner (look @ the 8:00 mark of this vid...if you look very, very closly you catch a glimpse of it here where he's talking about the AUX plug and SD cards) under the AUX IN MAPS SD Cover on the front above the volume knob...a little circular button... Give that a shot and let me know....Please... Good luck!
I got a similar one to this for my dodge neon but it was longer than wider and has android jellybean on it. Only problem was that my antenna cable was proprietary and i can't use the radio but everything else is fine.
Question I just bought a 2011 jeep grand Cherokee laredo I was wondering if you have expierenced any problem mechanically with the jeep I should keep an eye out for?
I bought mine brand new in 2011 and we had to replace the tranny cooler/ac condenser, is defective and it will leak, the duratec engine is also very prone to have valve train problems for lack of lubrication, i been using top notch oil and had no issues, the car already has 120k miles, the rest is been wear and tear and as long as you keep with the maintenance is a great car. By the way, the plugs don't last for 100k miles, I had to replace mine at 75k miles, change the tranny fluid every 40k miles and dif oil also
I forgot about the evap system, Chrysler replaced a valve design for a new one on the evap system, if you have issues with a leak on the evap system is probably that valve vehind the rear driver side, if you are a handy guy it will cost you 30 bucks, if you take it to the dealership it will be around 400 bucks
Hello everyone: this is a great stereo, got everything to work, except the GPS. The unit came with a little chip that I inserted where it says on the radio "Map SD", however I do not know how to update the firmware under the MHL, any advice?
Don't bother... Besides, they don't make them anymore and are kinda hard to come by and the ones you do happen to find are pricey... Mine quite after 3 years, audio out quite working... Read my comment the I just updated...
Currently, there are no aftermarket head units that work with Uconnect system. If you have a Uconnect system you will lose that feature with this stereo.

mayiandjay This is the one that I was looking for my Jeep with android 4.4.2 Kitkat. When you press the "phone" button on the steering wheel "Google Search" will come on the radio. You can even have a sim card on it and get 3G data! LOL

This video just saved me $700 from having to purchase a dash unit from a dealership, when I can it all myself. Thumbs up for the win!
did Sirius satellite radio work with this unit?
razfellow I didn't see him connect satellite connection. Dammit

Great Video, I have 2012 Overland Summit with a built in screen, but what you did is awesome.
A really nice job instructing, looks like alotta work but i think id do it, im not happy wit my current radio situation.
Great video Jay! Stereo looks amazing!
Does the factory unconnect on the jeep still work???? Or is that completely gone because of the new head unit?
Excelent Car and really nice update !!!
Keep the magic Jay !!!
Sweet! Thanks for sharing! Just got a 2011 myself and may try the same upgrade.
Great video and very informative, but I didnt like the visuals/cosmetic appearance of the actual head unit screen.
Great video....what is the name make and model number of the radio cause I also have a Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo and would like to install one in my truck......
Did you ever find out?
Another great video thanks Jay
The Ebay link no longer works. I'm looking for a direct fit radio for a Grand Cherokee just like this one only with Carplay.
Can you do a new updated video on how it's worked for you so far and how to operate it. I would really like to order this for my jeep but want to know if it's worth it

1st vid and comment or keep up the good work. this video was pretty awesome
What is the name and model of this radio? Please 😊
Great video, My now tailgate comes with a back up camera is it compatible with this System
Good looking stereo, but how is it now? Are the steering wheel controls, Bluetooth and all the other items still working good? Thank you for your response.
I was wondering about this as well. Any insight into this would be great. It would suck to lose volume and other steering wheel controls.
Danny Teixeira did you ever figure it out
Installed ours last night and the search buttons on the steering wheel are backwards, volume works fine. Does yours turn off the display when putting the car into reverse? I haven't found a way to disable this.
The link you provided is to a different product than what you got in the video.
What about rear camera?Does it works?
thanks
Where do I go to find this radio I wanna buy it

Dope video bro
Were you able to use the steering wheel controls with that radio? And is there a review video of it? My 2011 is getting the sound cut out issue every day now
Hello, great video. I clicked on the link you displayed and it doesn't find the page on Ebay. Do you know the name of the store or ebayer you bought it from? Thanks again
Holy crap that car is nice :D
***** Thanks man! Yeah I like the way it drives! It's cool for a family car. :)
+mayiandjay, i have the same vehicle and would like to purchase the head unit... do you have any computer update issues with the unit?
Only one thing to say jay u can do any thing to help us its amazing vedio and unboxing
Great video! I also have the 2012 Im surprised the antenna for gps worked in the dash! Anyways did this unit have sirius? Take care!
I need help with the 3 connectors. Two big ones and small one in the middle.
Jay, I enjoyed and appreciated your video. It is a big help; I was curious ho you maneuvered the cord to the Nav antenna. and also does it have an adhesive side to stick it to something to keep it from moving. ThanX
My 2012 JGC radio is acting up. It scans unexpectedly. Freezes up, looses its preset stations. I have a bumper to bumper warranty on the entire vehicle. Should I pay to get a aftermarket
great video! i got the same car. does it show the radio station you are on in the information system like it does with the factory radio?
Does it work with the Sirius satellite radio? Like the base model has, i have the exact same model and year, thinking of buying and installing.
+Liam Evans I don't think so cause you can't plug the sirius satellite radio plug.
Did you figure out which wire was the Sirius XM radio??
Tried finding this on eBay and there no longer on there is there another place where I can get this radio
good day , love video .do you know if it is the same installation for the jeep litbty. Thanks
There was a graphical glitch toward the end and the was a video loop over audio playback
But who's GPS system do they use? My reason for wanting to get rid of my 2011 stock GPS is cause it sucks!!!!! I don't want to do a dvd based one anymore... any please help ready to buy!! I am in southern NH
How do you set the time? And why does the radio reset the time to 12:00 after the Jeep has been turned off ?,
Also the cd/dvd player doesn’t work it doesn’t pull the disc in properly
Did you remove the 2 top screws on top of the unit before installation?
I’m not sure I had it installed by someone else, I’ll take it out and look, what should I look for ?
2 silver screws on top of the unit horizontally. They should be sticking out a bit.
Thank you, I found that the screws were still installed!!!! It works.
How about the setting the time and power loss when the car is off
@@kevinreeeder82 I wish I could help you with the time thing... Mine started doing that about 9 months ago...
