    I am trying to find a stock stereo (new) for my Jeep. I seem to only find either refurbished or compatible stereos. Any suggestions?

    Good enough as it is
    I replaced the OEM radio on my 2011 before giving it to my daughter last November with a Sony XAV-AX6000 from Trail Seven. Their package includes a complete system for plug and play, which includes a Maestro interface to allow the advanced features to work with the antiquated wiring of an early JK. I’ll be posting about it shortly, along with some photos. This completely updates an older JK to a modern standard with Apple Car play, and a great radio and Bluetooth capable system, that includes voice texting. Ok, it’s a bit pricey, and you need to disassemble the dash, but it’s pretty simple. On an installation difficulty scale of 1-10 with 1 being dead easy, and 10 requiring specialist knowledge and experience, I’d give it a 3.
    It makes an old Jeep completely functional for a younger person accustomed to Apple Car play and voice recognition. She says she loves the Jeep, and it’s at least partly because of the Sony system.
    Btw, the system fits right into the dash and looks OEM. It has the same basic functionality as the one in my new Jeep, a 2024 4xe Rubicon with a 12.3” screen. The radio I took out was circa 1995 with its ancient single CD player.

    Hey GotGriz68, Happy 2025! If you are willing to pay the postal shipping, I’ll mail you my old OEM radio from my 2011 for free. Everything on it works. It’s am/fm, with a cd player.
    Postal costs always seem high and going higher! My guesstimate would in the range of $50-75 CDN, which is pretty inexpensive in your currency.
