Stock stereo is complete shit

[Onthe6ix]

Recently purchased a 2024 Wrangler Sahara for my wife’s 50th birthday. It’s her 3rd Sahara, so we are familiar. The stereo on this one is complete garbage. She doesn’t care, but I do. Has their product declined that much in the last few years?

You didn't listen to it prior to purchase? I would think that would be something to vet if it's that important?

I did, but I also didn’t play with the settings, so I just figured it was all at to flat, but like I said, she doesn’t care, just bothers me

How are you listening to it? CarPlay?

Is it the upgraded system, or base? Maybe you had an upgraded system in a previous Wrangler, but this one came without it.

The base system always been terrible, upgraded one provides a little more boom and volume but the Wrangler has never come with a truly nice system. Your expectations may vary.

I guess that is one advantage to having a tin ear and having some hearing loss....I think the stereo sounds great...

Both Sirius and CarPlay

You are correct. Had the upgraded systems in the other two, but this one is the base. I’m just surprised that the base stereo is such garbage on a $50,000 vehicle

Can’t speak to the base radio, but go to your iPhone settings and make sure Sound Check is toggled off.

Sounds like you didn't get the Alpine system, that sucks.

Of course I would have thought that Sahara would have come standard with Alpine audio but maybe you didn't get it somehow.

I know compared to the Alpine audio system the regular stereo system is absolute shit.

This... at my age, my hearing isn't great anymore. Anything above 8,000 Hz is gone.

My factory stereo is fine. Not raving, spectacular hot! But just fine and I'm hard of hearing.

Best of luck.
