Great video. You cleared up one huge headache for me. I'm right now installing a aftermarket higher end Kenwood double din head unit with new Kicker speakers front and back with Alpine amp in my 2000 Grand Cherokee Limited with Infinity Gold. Kenwood dash tweeters as well. I also have the Maestro steering wheel control module that has to be flashed. Your info on just needing the one wire for SW1 instead of having to wire for SW1 and SW2 to control both steering wheel switches is where I was stuck. It also helped with the programming. Just having to input the info to flash SW1 into idata website is better than entering the resistor and wire color on SW1 and SW2. Thanks a mil.

"I don't think chrome will work without internet". Wow. Thank you for telling us.

I think I meant to say chrome won't work even with your phone connected vs. using the phone as a wifi hotpot.

Thanks! You really saved me on this one. I bought the radio a week ago and have been trying to change the backlight colors. No joy from the vendor. I had to slow your video down to catch it all, but I got it.

Tore the 4.7 down. The heads look usable. The crank will need a .25mm crank grind. The piston skirts were worn. Ordered Enginetech .50mm hypereutectic pistons on Rock. Ordered the valves , seals and guides from Rock auto. Gonna send the block, rods and crank to the machine shop. Gonna go straight to honing the big end for .002 larger .25mm rod bearings.

Definitely the best option on the RAM. Cheeping out on the RAM always leads to slow boot times and pauses or stuttering during playback. It really annoyed my when I had my CX-5.

I have another running 4.7 that I will do just a ring and valve and rod bearings. I was quite impressed that there was that little of wear on this high mileage engine. The only real issues I saw were seized oil ring, and worn out rings. I could actually get away with a dingleberry hone and new STD pistons. The crank is also eligible for a micro polish. Only one single rod was heated a bit on the inside. Either way, there will be a factory fresh bottom end. I will plastiguage everything when I put the short block together. Need to buy an ebay digital scale again to weigh the pistons and bring them into a 1/2 gram balance.

So far everything seems good other than my new S23 Ultra phone is still not acting right with it? I can't really fault the radio since it worked perfect with the previous phone. So it has to be a issue on the phone side of things. Hopefully a future update will take care of it. I also seem to have less bass but still need to play with the EQ settings more. Thanks for the view!

I cracked the screen on my rb1 when i removed the dash by myself. (Should have waited for a helper!) I stuck a Kenwood single Din unit in my wj, paired with infinity Reference IX speakers in all the doors. Sounds amazing but the user experience of the kenwood is lame.

Hi Tyler, great video! Since you have been using this unit for a while, how do you notice the sound quality? Do you like the sound or do you prefer the sound of the old RB1? I have an RB1 in my WJ and it sounds perfect, but it's showing signs of fatigue, sometimes it gets stuck on the Jeep logo and won't boot so I'm thinking about changing it and this Android unit seems like a good option, I just have doubts about the sound quality. Great what you are doing for the WJ's!

Save an offline map in the Google Maps app while connected to WiFi . Then you'll have nav even when offline. GPS will locate the jeep on the offline map and you'll have a standalone nav set-up
