Alpine PSS-22WRA in 2013 JK 2D Manual....Possible?
Ok yall I plan to EVENTUALLY do a write-up if all my research & planning turns out to be correct. I've only found 1 thread on here regarding basically just an inquiry about buying the PSS-22WRA so if anyone wants to weigh in, feel free to do so. For those unfamiliar with what exactly the PSS-22WRA is/contains, I have attached some screenshots from Crutchfield.
"The Claim":
Alpine "claims" that the PSS-22WRA is only compatible with 2011-2018 JKU Automatics.
The Investigation:
However after reading every single review on Crutchfield, I did come across a few JKU Manual installers but they each said the designated Amp location caused them issues due to the clutch pedal assembly. So I decided to go to Alpine with my questions because after reviewing the contents, I looked up each piece individually (on Crutchfield & Alpine) only to find that they all do in fact FIT 2-Door JKs no matter the Transmission. So I read the entire owner's manual 1st before sending a message to Alpine Support asking them to clarify what exactly restricts the PSS-22WRA from being installed in my 2013 JK 2-Door Manual. I have also attached the response I got from them plus my reply & let's just say I felt like I was brushed aside lol.
The Endstate:
Now this brings me to what I'm hoping to get knowledge/insight-wise from our family on here. Im attaching the owner's manual for the PSS-22WRA as well as for each component individually in the PSS-22WRA in case yall want to review the installation process & see if i am missing anything that would prevent this install in a 2011-2018 JK 2-Door 6-Speed.
I believe i have identified only the following things that would require slight adjustment during installation:
• Wiring that runs around auto shifter for SBV-10-WRA & knob connections would just need a perfected path due to stick shift.
• Still unclear about the issue regarding the Amp mounting & clutch pedal assembly mentioned in Crutchfield reviews.
Like I said before, eventually I want to do a write-up for this because I always prefer to swim upstream & challenge when claims are made that things can't be done when clearly they can.Ty again for yalls help & sorry for the long post
