Hey everyone,
I'm looking to upgrade my head unit and I wanted to make sure that I had read plenty into other threads before I posted my own.
About my jeep, it's a 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited with BA sound system (No NAV). I'm wanting to upgrade it to a touchscreen type system so here's what I believe that I will need to do this. Please correct me if I'm wrong (I've linked to the things I think I will need though not necessarily the exact ones I would plan to buy).
-NAV Bezel to fit D-DIN
-Unit Mount (comes with head-unit)
-Head Unit (this is the one I'm looking at right now)
-AM/FM Antenna Adapter (comes with head-unit)
-Steering Wheel Control Adapters (this is the one thing I'm not entirely certain on... is there anything else I need to keep my steering wheel buttons?)
-Sirius XM Tuner (I have the subscription, would just have to move it over to a new unit which I would do through Sirius I believe)
I plan to get a long (I don't know, maybe 30-50 foot) iPod 5 lightning connector to plug into the back of the unit and run that up to my center console to plug in. I have an Android phone so I would use the Pandora control through my BlueTooth as it says it can control Pandora on Android that way.
Is there anything else that I might be missing to set this up? Do I need anything else to power the Boston Acoustics speakers? Any other advice you might be able to give me at this point? Thanks everyone and I hope to begin collecting these parts in the next few months so I can make this happen!
