Now that I came upon this fantastic write-up, I'm almost ready to bite the Bullet! My last Wrangler had the touch screen radio and I don't have one in my new Wrangler. The touch screen is one of the things I miss the most. I have the standard radio with satellite and at times, cannot even read the screen for time! ( don't get old !) Your write up is excellent and I will follow it on my install.
Thanx!
Thanx!
Let me know if ya have any more questions or if there is anything I seem to have missed! I did my research for a long while onthe OEM radios for the JKs, so I am glad all that research still isn't going to waste!

Great thread! Now I'm motivated to hit my local junkyards to see what I can find. So if I understand correctly I need a high speed radio like one of the ones listed in the links? 730 would probably be my first choice but almost any other ones with a hard drive and a touch screen will be good for me

got my fingers crossed.... 2011's and 2012 passenger vehicles should be showing up in my local junkyards already (trucks and suv's are harder to get with that vintage) and here's their pricing on the radios
PartPrice Core Warranty Extended Warranty
Radio Am/fm $15.36 $0.00 $4.61 $6.14
Radio, Amplifier $25.61 $0.00 $7.68 $10.24
Radio, Cassette $15.36 $0.00 $4.61 $6.14
Radio, Cd Player $25.61 $0.00 $7.68 $10.24
Btw, from what I read, I should also make sure that I get the vin associated with that vehicle or look for a manual in the glove box so that I can get the code as some might be security locked?
