chrysler pacifica rev DVD radio in WJ

[teckman02]

i have been wanting a dvd unit in my jeep for a wile but i hate aftermarket radio's. The main reason that why i hate aftermarket is that i hate having to dig through a ton of menus, just to change one little setting plus since my WJ is a limited i have radio wheel controls and don't feel like trying to map them with some control box.

So I did some looking around and found this chrysler pacifica DVD unit on ebay for 100 bucks

The first thing that i did was cut off the pacifica mounting brackets.

i then put the dvd unit in back the jeep and sat the bezel over the radio then traced around it to trim off the extra that i did not need.

Now the finished product.

i still need to do build mounting brackets and add some screens i want to add 1 up front and 2 in the back. also looking at adding the 6 disk DVD changer someplace.

Since i am keeping the install 95% of the install OEM i am looking for detailed wiring diagram's with pinouts of the WK XK and the pacifica radio and entertainment systems. if anyone has them could someone PM me copys please PDF's would work best.


This would also be a cool mod for the KJ also

I was looking at your pics. It looks like the cutouts in the face plates of both stereos are exactly the same. I wonder how difficult it would be to just switch the electronics inside the face plate to eliminate the need for cutting. Just thinking out loud. Great idea though, I like it.

i had thought about something like that but the circuit board for the controls are on the face, the bezel it would just not line up. I will take some pics of how it is together

 

[Snail Farmer]

Oh, yeah I knew the circuit boards were on the face, just wasn't sure if it would come close to matching up at all.

side note i have done some testing with the dvd changer and the cd changer the PCI bus will not auto switch from the dvd changer and cd changer so an A/B switch is going to be need to be ran off the PCI bus.


i still need to build the jumper harness but since i have not decided where to mount the DVD changer i have not built it yet
