6. Radio: Replacing or adding an aftermarket head unit
Back to Accessories index
Option 6a - OEM-1 Interface
The OEM-1 interface adaptor kit is used when replacing or adding an aftermarket head units such as Kenwood, Panasonic, Alpine, Pioneer, etc. to the Infinity factory sound system. The OEM-1 has an 18 pin connector on one end and a 16 pin connector on the other. Once the two cables are chosen for the particular installation, just plug them into the OEM-1, plug them into the factory radio harness and then plug into the aftermarket stereo that is being installed. No wire connections to the factory harness or ccnnectors are required. The factory cables are not cut or removed - they are used.
The model OEM-1 is a four channel device that gives you 2:1 gain as well as infinite attenuation. This allows signal adjustment to the correct level between the factory system and what is being added or changed. All four channels are individually adjusted for accurate sound levels. Each channel completely isolates the aftermarket equipment from the factory system to give 100% compatibility in every installation. Correct phasing is maintained. Signal ground is also isolated to avoid ground loops.
Using the OEM-1 interface to add an aftermarket head unit requires the OEM-1 unit plus one "A" cable and one "B" cable:

The X-3 system interrupts the audio of the CD changer, switching between the three user-selectable RCA level auxiliary audio sources, and defaults back to the CD changer if desired. The X-3 system consists of two parts, the Selector Brain Module or X-3, and the vehicle-specific T-harness sold separately.
NOTE: Must have a functioning OEM CD-Changer, or aftermarket CD-Changer using a PIE protocol converter. An X3 vehicle specific harness is also required.

9. Radio: Harness adaptor for installing a 2002-2004 radio into a 1999-2001 vehicle
Back to Accessories index
Factory head unit from 2002-2004 installed into earlier 1999-2001 models. This wiring harness adapter is needed when installing a factory radio equipped with the newer 22-way connector into a vehicle equipped with the older style 7-way connectors. For the 2002 model year, Chrysler changed most of their radios over to a new 22-pin connector set-up. Some base WJ models for 2002 still featured the older style 7-pin connector. The harness kit from Mopar also includes an antenna adaptor to convert the new style antenna plug in the radio to the standard vehicle antenna cable used in 1999-2001 models. Mopar P/N 82207541AC.
This adaptor harness was designed to allow 2002 radios with the 22-way connector to fit in same model year vehicles with the 7-way connectors. Mopar does not recommend installing 2002-up radios in 1999-2001 WJ's if you are keeping the factory speakers and amp system. Due to preprogrammed audio equalization levels that are in the vehicle's body controller, if a signal from the radio is not recognized by the body controller, the unit will default to a flat curve. Combined with various levels of speakers used from model year to model year, the sound quality of the audio may be reduced. However, some 1999 and 2000 WJ owners have installed the newer radios (and RB1 Navigation unit) and reported positive results with the factory sound system.
Note: If the radio has CD changer controls, a special 10-pin to 8-pin cable can be purchased to allow the use of a factory changer.

10. Speakers: Aftermarket speakers to factory speaker harness
Back to Accessories index
Adaptor to connects aftermarket speakers to factory harness (1999-2004 WJ). Allows factory wiring to remain intact with no cutting or splicing. Autotoys.com P/N "SC 4500 SPEAKER". Note- we still need to verify this part as working with all models.
11. Speakers: Mounting templates
Back to Accessories index
Templates for mounting 6.5" round speakers into 6x9 factory front door openings (1999-2004 WJ). Several companies sell generic adaptor plates for fitting 6.5 inch speakers into a 6x9 openings. If you are planning to install a component set of speakers, some of these adaptors do not provide room for the separate tweeter and custom plates must be cut. Scosche now makes an injection molded adaptor that will allow for both the 6.5" speaker and a component tweeter - P/N 142 SA69. They also make one for the rear 6.5" speakers - P/N 142 SAC656. Even though aftermarket speakers will fit directly into the rear door holes, using the adaptor is easier and also a better fit for mounting the speaker. See Front door speaker installation and Rear door speaker installation.
