Steps To Replace The Radio

- Remove the four screws that secure the center console.
- Gently peel the center console away from any clips keeping it in place. Do that by going around it with a screwdriver and gently prying off the plastic.
- Remove the four screws holding the radio to the vehicle.
- Gently remove the radio out of the cabinet. Remove the wiring harness and antenna cable from the stereo’s rear.
- Place the stereo mount in the slot and secure it if necessary. You can skip this step. Skip it only if the new radio is specifically built to fit in the dash of your Grand Cherokee’s year.
- Connect the wiring harness to the back of the new stereo wiring harness adapter. Connect the antenna wire to the correct location on the new stereo.
- Carefully slide the new stereo into position, making sure not to disconnect any of the cables.
- Reconnect the power source to the vehicle.
- Turn on the radio to see if everything is working properly. Ensure that sound is coming from each speaker.
