Anyone have the factory radio?
- Thread starter lovemachine
- Start date
I'm replacing the stock one in my 05 in the next couple of days after I get the O2 sensors changed out. But it's not much punkin as they say around here. CD doesn't work, AM only when it's in the mood and the FM comes in and out fairly regular. Decided to just swap it out for a new Kenwood digital media with bluetooth and up-gradable to Sirius satellite.

Have dealt with them also . . . have a modified (by them) OEM radio in my Dodge/Cummins. Good radio. No fuss / no muss !
A lot of folks chuck the OEM radios and install stuff with miniature buttons, illegible display, flashing lights, multi-color strobes, etc., etc. . . . .
You try to decipher the 149 page owners manual written from a translation of East-Outer Transylvania . . . . . pfffffttttt !
You're in a Jeep / Dodge . . . . and you're worried about the latest tune from 'Vinnie & the Vile-tones' . . . .
Hat's off to you . . . . enjoy your OEM radio when you get it. It has big buttons, time display, and looks better than that pile of overseas crap that a scientist couldn't figure out how to operate !!

I do miss the simplicity of the factory radio. Why can't the aftermarket companies figure out good button design?
i've got one just taken out of my 05 TJ. It worked well but I wanted something double DIN XMSirius ready and went to Crutchfield. The OEM radio has a CD player and it fed the factory 4 speaker system w/ the sub woofer. I'll send a picture tomorrow if interested.

Postage is fine with me, consider it a Xmas gift
I have a spare tape deck headunit for 97-02 in excellent shape. Found it at the local goodwill. Hit me up if anyone is looking for one. I'll promise ya that thrives won't spend their time ripping that one out of an open-top Jeep.
The radio/CD player for my Jeep showed up on my door step today!! Thank you very much!
Also if you ever need a back up job for packing and shipping you should have no problem getting one. Great job of packaging the radio! Thank you again very much!
My 97 has an aftermarket radio I despise.I have a spare tape deck headunit for 97-02 in excellent shape. Found it at the local goodwill. Hit me up if anyone is looking for one. I'll promise ya that thrives won't spend their time ripping that one out of an open-top Jeep.
Would that head unit be for sale?
