Re: RES 130 Radio unit

Re: RES 130 Radio unit
I am trying to get a Double Din put into my jeep, but I don't want to spend a ton of money. I am looking for wireless bluetooth streaming to the head unit to play my music. My current head unit's port is kinda broken.

It wasn't hard to get out, just had to take my time as all the clips are plastic to pull out the face of the dash. I installed the radio, gps satellite, and mic on my own. It really wasn't that bad, just need to take your time and then hide all the wires. I explained what I did on another forum but I could re post it here for you if you would find it helpful.
My stock one is currently still available.

I was lucky to find mine off of kijiji. The seller did a brutal job posting and it sat there for over a month by the time I found it and emailed him. He ended up buying it for his Chrysler 300 and was trying to get rid of it. The units are locked to the VIN of the Jeep, but we to called the company that handles that and had it changed to my VIN. It's a great unit but I wouldn't pay full retail price for it. You can find an aftermarket for much cheaper. It's also a DVD player that I've never used and you can hook a backup camera to it which I also don't have yet. Bluetooth for my music is one of the best features hands down. It has a 30GB hard drive in it too, plus while I was installing it I ran a usb cable from the back into my glove box so now I can plug in any usb key with music.
