Good thing I saw this video it was about to completely change my Jeep with a double damn this makes it so much easier thank you 2!!!
Glad to help!
Loved this episode as always. This is one of the last upgrades I need on my 01 solar yellow TJ sport. So very helpful!
It's great!
Is the bezel the same on the 01? That’s my question
Yes it is!
Thanks I will keep checking back because I am like you I love the old school knobs.
100%!
I saved the link and have it in my cart but I’m honestly going to wait and hopefully get an update from you on how it’s holding up. Thank you
We've had it over a week and use ot daily. It's literally a no brainer. Even if it was 500$
Damn perfect guys I was just looking at that radio for the tj too great to see you guys have it and try it out before I do
Ita fantastic
@@Garagecouple only thing that’s holding me back from getting it is that I’m not sure if it really has real Apple car play, over all it does seem like a less appealing radio to thieves witch is a good thing vs having a larger 7” doubled in display.
@@illestfunction yes totally! See if there's a way you can do apple carplay via an app in thr android app store
That is a really cool head unit - when I need to upgrade mine (again...) that's what I'll go with! I use android auto on work vehicles and I just can't live without it now - feels so odd without it in my TJ (and my JL - but that's coming soon, haha!).
Haha! Congrats on the JL!
I’m loving the TJ 😎
Irs turning out nice!
Fits like a gove! Like it actually belongs there!
Totally agree!
Great job thank you
Very nice 👍🏼
Thank you!
Can you do you a 1 year update on the Seicane? Pros and Cons.
When I saw that the Kenwood head unit was hardwired I was thinking oh no! I can't believe the new one used the same molex plug from the Kenwood, I was surprised you didn't test it before reinstalling all the dash pieces (Greg lives life on the edge). As a safe keep I always electrical tape any plugs together like the GPS or hands free mic, btw how did the GPS work? Any interference being the antenna for the GPS was mounted under the dash? Great video and install!
Totally living on the edge! Everything works perfectly. Was a total breeze install lol.
How has the mic position worked? Was on the steering column a good choice?
I want to get it but when trying to purchase there’s so many options of accessories to choose. I don’t know if I need them
I love the one you show (radio) in this video, but when I go to the site I can not find the one with the knobs on each side. All I see is the flat screen. Help??
So the link I put is the one I ordered. I think the image for the product is out of date. I'm glad I got the one with the physical buttons. I went ahead and emailed them so they can fix it
Will this unit work with an iPhone? / CarPlay?
For this radio did you add any of the extra features from the website? Thanks in advance!!
I did not!
this video is 11 moths old. how is the head unit still functioning? are you happy with it?
Can you change the backlighting color from green to something else? I've seen similar models online that offer this function, and I was wondering if this unit had that capability. Thanks!
Unfortunately not
The link in your description takes me to a different unit (all touch screen, no knobs and buttons) than the one you installed (physical knobs and buttons). How did you get the one with physical knobs?
I’ve had the all touch one and didn’t like it off-road because it was a nightmare trying to land my finger exactly where I needed to on the screen while the Jeep was moving around from the uneven terrain. Physical knobs would’ve been much easier. I removed it and put a different unit in. If i could get the one you have, I would.
You're totally right! I think they haven't updated the image because the one we installed is the newer version. I ordered that exact link and this is the product I got. I agree. I love the physical buttons
Good to know. Thank you. Radio looks fantastic. I like the stock look, but with all that functionality.
Yes! Love the stock appearance. It's a no Brainer for the price
At timestamp @15:55 is that using android auto? or was that on its own interface. Also how is the USB connection? Was it fast charging? did it even charge when you are connecting and using it at the same time. Some of these radios the charge rate is awful. If it was android auto can you show some more of that, like how it responds when you receive a text a message.
That's a kewl system
Thanks! We love it!
Still holding up a year later? Is there a video adding camera to it?
Hey do you guys think this would fit my sons 97 wrangler tj se? Is there any difference in din size or dash size?
Nope it would fit like a champ
I bought one of those and I am happy with it. I have 2 problems. 1 - I cannot get the bass to work and 2 - I cannot figure out how to change it from kilometers per hour to miles per hour. Your help would be greatly appreciated.
Glad you enjoy it! The units can be changed in the settings menu and as far as the bass I'm not sure. Ours works well. I'd play with the sound settings
So do you guys have an update on the head unit still running strong or not ?
Running like a champ
Hey great video. Is this apple carplay??? Thanks
You might be able to download an app for carplay through the app store. We don't use apple
Where would I find the dash replacement to fit the new unit?
New unit fits in old dashboard piece
Curious how well the Bluetooth works for talking On the phone? Microphone work well and such ? Obviously it’s a Jeep. Thanks.
It works very well but like you mention, if you have a soft top and are traveling 50mph+ it won't sound well even if it's the best Bluetooth mic and speaker combo
Thanks for the reply, was just getting around to ordering, on the link to the order page it ask, your car come with, Bose , Boston or other. I am confused to what that means…..
Hey link takes me to a different head unit from the one you installed
You're totally right. That's the one I ordered but the product that I got was the one in the video. Hope this helps
How long is the boot up time on the head unit?
You look like a rapper waving your arms about 😂
So.. is it compatible with apple phones and I don’t see where it has car play.. I’m addicted to waze on my CarPlay in my gladiator.
Neither of us use apple so we have mo idea. I don't know.
Nice video, did you try Apple Carplay?
We don't own a single apple product
Video is great. I just purchased a 04 LJ. I feel like I cannot trust the Seicane site though..
It's legit..
I just put in my order. We'll see it in 4-7 days! Keep up the great content.
@@Jamie_Consuelaany updates ?
@@sasukecruz2000 Delivery was 5 days. easy install. plug and play to the original harness. I had the original head unit in my LJ. Pro's the screen is very responsive with apple Carplay and it fits the oem dash. I dont use the head unit for anything but the Carplay. I did try to change the time and the KPH but could never find the setting. If you just use the carplay then it doesnt matter.
doesn't advertise as being waterproof. would it hold up in a freak rainstorm and top off?
I think it would!
Wish they had an IPhone head unit like this. Don’t talk to me with your green text bubble!! 😂😂😂😂
Lol! It has wireless apple carplay
Do you guys have the model number of the head unit you installed in your TJ ? As the link you have shown here goes to a different head unit , with no buttons and looks strange !
Hi! It's that exact link. The product at that link has outdated photos (that's the older model) I already emailed the company and we shall see.
Thank you guys for the info and the quick response! Also love your content keep it up !
Appreciate you!
@@Garagecouple Did you guys ever here back from the company on this question? Great videos btw. Interesting fact for me is I have an 03 TJ that I bought used with the exact same Kenwood radio so I'm hoping that my install will be just as easy😀
Lol! We did. It'd the right link and they updated their photos
Their website ahows it has apply carplay and android auto. Can you confirm that?
I dont use either of those festures.. but probably has android auto
Will that head unit work on a 1998 TJ?
Yes!
Hi, can you hook xm radio to it?
Wouldn't know the answer to that
Is this radio available for Apple iPhone?
You can use it with an iPhone!
@@Garagecouple thank you
Do you need to have an android phone 📱. This fits so perfect for me, but I am an iPhone user.
You do not! Its basically an android tablet and you can connect to it via Bluetooth
Will this fit on a 2001? Can't find anything other than 2003-2006.
It will not because of the windshield wiper sprayers
@@Garagecouple Damn, Thanks for the quick response. Will have to research for a nice cheaper radio as it is not my daily driver. Love the videos, giving me so many ideas for my solar yellow 01 TJ.
@timothyfeilinger6806 sorry about that! I thought you were asking about our latest episode the solar panel hood attachment. This radio should fit your 2001. Just double check on their website. Cheers
Thank you!
Is the android auto wireless?
Through an app yes
To all the viewers, make sure the GPS attender location works before mounting it permanently . Once you stick it it's stuck.
It's not stuck. You can always move it after. No worries.
Does it work with an Apple phone?
Yes
Hello from Spokane WA!
Hey there!
Does this head unit have apple car play??
Yes
Apple car play? Cool radio regardless
We love it!
Does this have an Apple Car Play theme?
Is there one for JK
Yea! Check out their website in the description!
Thank you for all you do..
Appreciate you!
Too bad that thing is an android. I do like the old OEM RB1 with nav from Chrysler that works in these as 1.5 Din with nav.
To be honest, we're pretty hard-core android people.. worked out.
Well the price was right until They want $65 for shipping. I’m out
That's unusual. Check Amazon?
@@GaragecoupleThere is no way to do that because you never give the model number. I could not find it on their site. They must ship from China. This really looks like a half-baked product.
I also have iPhone and Android is better by farrrrr
Absolutely!
