2001 XJ Radio Access?
I'm sure there is probably an easy answer to this, but not sure enough
to just yank on the thing. I need to take out the radio from my 2001 Cherokee which is located in a center stack with the vents and heater/ AC controls. The mostly rectangular bezel around the front of the whole thing is loose enough but has no visible fasteners. Please tell me I don't have to move the console to get access to any screws. Does that bezel (about 12-14 inches wide and 18-20 high) just pop out if pulled in the right place? Where's the right place? Thanks! |

I guess your right, bezel just pops off. Remember to disconnect the
battery's ground first keep the radio from, locking up where you need a code to get to work, and to keep the air bags from exploding: http://www.billhughes.com/temp/XJradio.pdf God Bless America, Bill O|||||||O http://www.billhughes.com/ "kokonutty" > wrote in message oups.com... > I'm sure there is probably an easy answer to this, but not sure enough > to just yank on the thing.

2001 XJ Radio Access?
Thanks to you and Clap. Four spring clips near top, just outboard of radio corners, came right off. Now a radio question: Unit is an AM/FM/CD/Cassette; on the back there are four connectors - antenna, ground, input and output (gray and black). Next to the gray and black connectors is a white plug socket about 3/4" x 1/4" that has two prongs in it. Is this an aux in or aux out connector? Thanks... |

After some googling, it looks like the extra plug is either for
steering wheel controls or a CD changer. If it is the changer, I should be able to use this for an iPod or Sirius input to avoid using FM mod, right? |

Hmm - I'm interested in what you find out. I'd like to tie my iPod into
it as well. If you find out how to do it, please post info back here. kokonutty wrote: > After some googling, it looks like the extra plug is either for > steering wheel controls or a CD changer.

I didn't see anything other than the regular two plugs and the antenna:

Factory RAZ, 4704383AH, to be precise. Pretty sure the extra plug is for a changer as I'd think the steering wheel controls would be part of the gray or black connectors - just trying to figure out if all I need is a plug. |
