Ok got it, so I just installed my 7 inch and took of the knee panel to check for the harness for the cabin temperature sensor. Is this it right here? So I just plug it into this, mount it, and I'm good to go?
That’s it - next to center stack, right if steering wheel - post 754 has picture of where sensor is mounted from danny01 and 746 has picture of connectorOk got it, so I just installed my 7 inch and took of the knee panel to check for the harness for the cabin temperature sensor.

No problem at all. So I just did this last week. If
No problem at all. So the most comprehensive way to do this is to buy the radio, the bezel, HVAC stack, and in cabin temperature sensor. When you install the 7” radio you lose your volume knob. Thats why you need a new HVAC stack. The radio is plug and play but the HVAC stack is not. Once you have these installed you need to flash with a jl tazer so the new HVAC system works. The cabin temp sensor is so you gain the function of automatic climate control. My advice would be to get a used 7 inch radio off here or ebay. I paid $400 for mine used. Also replacing all of this only takes about 15 minutes for everything. Like I said though you can just replace the radio but why not replace everything and have a fulling functional unit. Total price for me to do this was $600. If you have any more questions let me know, also I think you are right about the part number it seems there are a ton of different ones.
Please double check the numbers for the radio, I believe they are correct but not absolutely positive.
Thanks for the reply.
Thanks for the reply. I am pretty sure those part #'s provided are outdated. Those are the part #'s suggested at the time of this thread post, which was in 2018. I now have a 2020 and while searching on any mopar wholewale website for the radio, I can filter it down to a 2020 Wrangler, and the #'s you provided are not listed.
I don’t think it really matters what year the jeep was the radio is in or what year it is intended for. Mine came out of a 2020 and I have a 2019. As far as the bezel it will work for any year JL. The bezels are all the same.
That's what I was thinking. They all seem rather plug and play. I'm just sure some bugs were worked out of the older models. Probably all firmware stuff. Can anyone confirm if some of the 7" radios without the Sirius XM have or don't have the input for the XM antenna in the back of the radio?
Its very easy, make sure you get the JL mini though. You just plug it in under the steering wheel its very easy to get to. You then have a menu you can access on your dash to change the tire size and turn certain things on and off. For the radio upgrade you just have to turn on dual zone and the radio and HVAC will work. If you decide to go this route let me know and I can guide you through it.
So once flashed and everything seems to be working fine, you can unplug the tazer mini and resell it? I'm looking to possibly do it if it's easy enough and won't be too expensive.
No because it is married to your jeep so in order for someone else to use it you would have to unmarry it from your jeep which would reset the stock settings on your jeep. Thats the way they keep multiple people from using one tazer.
Interesting. Thanks for the info. I'd bet that anyone doing this upgrade has any issues at all with hvac, no dealer would do any warranty work. Another issue in my opinion with this upgrade.
