I replaced that pod because my radio kept rebooting whenever I plugged my phone in didn’t fix the problem blew $100
Thanks .I found USED part for $42 .Now I can install . My Screen is bigger but is "basically " the same 22 Willys JL .
I have a question. I have a 2018 Rubicon and the battery keeps going dead unless you lock the doors. Any ideas
So, I have a question: it REALLY annoys me that my media plug is on the passenger side, but my driver side has a plain ole cigarette lighter type charging port. Can I just swap those around and put my media port on the driver side, or are they arraigned like that for a reason?
Thank you, I was terrified to switch it out myself, but the video showed how easy it is and was. Took me less than 5 minutes. I’m sure I saved a lot of $$ doing it myself.
You are a brave person to deal with such an embarrassing piece of technology masquerading as a Jeep. It is barely held together with one real screw. The rest of it snaps together like Legos. How is that supposed to hold together going over a speed bump in a parking lot as a mall cruiser, let alone holding together on a trail?
Thanks for the links, I was going to ask what they cost. May get one for a spare. I don't want to be on vacation and that go out. I have my phone connected all the time.
And the stealership would have charged what? $1500? Ofcourse you have another issure farther up stream. If you look closely, you'll see that the media pod is plugged into a Fiat vehicle.
jesus doug, i iknow youre not a fan of wanklers, but ive seen you be more gentle on stuff at the u-pull lol
Ah hell…..This video really made me miss my old '88 Jeep Cherokee Laredo.
