Radio help needed

[Nathanael Rusciolelli]

First time posting for me. The old radio in my jeep hasn't worked since I got the thing a month ago (it's an aftermarket radio). A friend of mine gave me the radio out of his 02 Grand Cherokee. The radio fits in place but I'm not sure which adapters I need to get this thing wired up. I'm kind of a newbie to electronics so this isn't really my area. I got some pictures of the back of the radio I'm trying to install as well as the wiring that is currently in the jeep. Any help is appreciated. (Btw, it's a 99 wrangler 2.5L).

Try this website ....
www.1factoryradio.com
You may need an adapter ....
Do a cross reference on your TJ and donor radio.
Many adapters available.
Good luck ...

Thanks, I think I found the correct part. We'll find out when it arrives I guess.

Let us know how it goes!

 

[Nathanael Rusciolelli]

Sure thing

ok, got the connector and installed it. Connector works but I still don't know where to find the right antenna adaptor. Couldn't find it online or any stores I've tried. Not sure why it's so hard to find. CD player works though

They may have something you can use.

Well, i checked all over that site but still couldn't find one

that fits. Here is a close up of the antenna port. I've never seen one like it

I would hit my local junk yard and pull the antenna from a Grand Cherokee and install it on the TJ. Connector problem solved.

Have you checked eBay by chance?

 

[Nathanael Rusciolelli]

Everywhere I've checked it's the same story. I must be the only person out there with this type of connection. I got it jerry rigged for now, so at least I can listen to my tunes

Oddly enough a trip to your local car audio installation shop might yield a good answer. Those guys mess with stuff like this all the damn time!

Would something like this work?

Hmm, It's hard to say just from a picture. Might be worth a shot.

What's the link to that?

What's the link to that?

I think that one is for VW, but I found it by Googling Cruchfield antenna adapters. Try metra 40-cr20.
