this has a lot of common tools almost every house has. if you dont have a plastic welder or a soldering iron use the end of a hot glue gun to melt it down. if you need to trim the inside of the dash you could use a file and maybe tin snips. if that seems like too much work then you might want a new hobby lol

I am installing a pioneer double din in my 02 grand Cherokee now. Having a hard time with fitment. I’ve cut plenty of the plastic above and behind. I have also trimmed above the vents on the lower section. I feel like I need to cut the bottom floor area in behind the dash because it’s ramping the rear of the stereo up and not allowing it to slide all the way in. Just a little hesitant it will damage the venting ducts.

Nice Vid , I am replacing a 9 year old single DIN that replaced my factory radio and although it would be easiest and cheapest to simply replace the single DIN I put in there, I'll be going the double DIN touchscreen route as you have (2001 Grand Cherokee). Your vid will be helpful. .

Even if its from one of the odd ball makers and its not the greatest made, you have to admit that its nice that not everyone is left out if they want a double din. To bad they dont make one forca 2002 Ford Taurus.

Metra makes a better version of this kit and my vents didn't need to be melted into place. They fit like a glove!! The Metra version uses tabs instead of rods, so it is like the factory bezel. The Metra bezel also has clips to attach the new bezel to the sides. The dash will take a pound of flesh. You have to do a LOT of hacking as it is way overbuilt in that area. Also, make sure you get the right harness. There is one for 99-01, one for 02-04 without and one for 02-04 with the factory amp.

I wish I had found this video before I modified mine :) However, I did mine a little differently as I did not like the idea of supporting the radio with the bezel so I modified the brackets to attach the radio to the dash like the OEM. Note that you do not need special tools, a drill, side cutting pliers and a small round file are all you need.

My jeep liberty 2003 has two yellow and black wires on the factory wiring harness that plugs into the vehicle. So the two yellow should be twisted together and connected to single yellow wire on the radio harness then solder together? Same with both black ground as well? Does it creates a short? Also i noticed that the factory wiring harness is little thicker than the radio harness. Does it creates any overheating issue on the radio wiring since the factory wiring is little more thicker? I am trying to do it safe. Any tips will be appreciated.

Nice work guys, your vids just keep getting better and are really informative. Both of our WJs (2002 overland and a sport) have a factory amp under the passenger rear seat that I was led to believe will not work with anything other than the factory radio because of some oddball volume adjustment method ...or something like that but you just plugged in and it works. Was that install without a factory amp still in place? The oddball amp claim may be nonsense if this install just worked out that well.
