1999 Cherokee XJ with "factory installed" CarPlay!

Wow this is great! I was looking at a 1-DIN CarPlay radio that mechanically flips up to give a 2-Din display. Fortunately, I saw this 2-Din solution for my 1999 Jeep Cherokee XJ. First I saved a lot of money and 2nd it looks like a factory solution. It's a little bit scary, because some cutting is required the radio. Take it slow and the end result is fabulous. You really can't mess-up cutting, but I took off a little at a time until the radio fit perfectly. The front bezel, is perfect and will hide any cutting error. I just happen to be OCD, so my perfectionism made me go slow. Again, wow! 21-year old Cherokee XJ has "factory installed" 2-din CarPlay!

2001 Jeep Cherokee Sport

This kit is a perfect fit for the dash piece it replaces and fits very well with a double DIN head unit. You do need to move the metal clips from the existing dash panel to the new Metra panel. For me, the color match was exact to my 2001 Jeep Cherokee Sport dash. The kit has different options for different head units that vary in shape. This is the challenging part. Take your time on figuring out what needs trimmed and how much. Also, how the brackets fit. It took nearly as long to figure out the proper screw mounting of the brackets as it did cutting out the dash ducting to make room for the double DIN. Don't rush this part.

Aftermarket Sound with OEM Look

If you want a quality, professional looking installation, go no further than Metra. I installed a double-DIN Sony XAV-AX1000 in my 2000 Jeep Cherokee (which has a "DIN and a half" size opening). The Metra dash kit makes it looks like the Sony was installed at the factory.

This would be a great product if it actually met the ISO standard for double din width of 180mm. The height is fine but the actual opening is only 173.0375mm. It will require cutting to fit standard double din radios into it, which defeats the purpose of this product. If I wanted to cut a bigger opening I would have kept the old bezel.

It's almost indistinguishable from the original. It protrudes just a bit more than the old one but it's a good fit, easy install.

Necessary for a ice and easy install!

This made it so simple to convert from the odd 1.5 din to a very nice 2-din!

Great product

Will fir perfectly with a little adjustments. I use a Sony XAV3000 single din. Looks great. Wish they made a wood grain version though.

Great kit, great price when bundled with a head unit.

Kit was very well protected inside the packaging. Had zero issues with the install process. Very straight forward once you swap the clips over using a flathead. Alpine ILX-W650 fits very well with minimal trimming required.

Great upgrade for the XJ Cherokee

Really nice dash kit that looks factory. It allowed me to install a double din receiver in my 2001 Cherokee XJ. I now have Bluetooth. Apple CarPlay, and a backup camera which really updated my vehicle. The vent ducting on the sides of the head unit have to be trimmed which took the most time. The kit included aluminum tape to seal the cuts. Once trimmed, there is plenty of room behind the dash. The result is a very professional looking install.

Fits great, looks nice. Black isn't the same as factory. One of the vents was loose after install, had to put some black tape to return it to normal.

Excellent for double din decks!

This is exactly what you need if you're wanting to fit a double din in your XJ. I've got a 2000 XJ Sport and purchased the KENWOOD DMX706S to pair with the new bezel. There was minimal cutting to the a/c ducts to fit the deck because of the shallow depth of that particular deck. Took me about an hour of cutting and fitting and recutting and refitting and then taping up the ducts with the supplied aluminum tape to get things the way I wanted.. Im really OCD, and test fitted the deck about 20 times before I set all the screws... taking the bezel off and on making sure the deck was where I wanted it.. depth wise and angle wise. I can't say enough good things about this conversion kit. It's a perfect fit with the deck, a/c controls, and switches. The finish is nice. The only gripe is that you have to reuse the metal clips off your original bezel and they are a slight pain getting off. I could probably do it again in about 30 minutes knowing now where all you have to cut, and how the tape works when repairing the ducts. Don't hesitate buying this bezel! You won't be disappointed.

This kit is what XJ people have been looking for!

This kit is what I've always wanted for my older Jeep Cherokee. I now have Android car play and a rear camera like on my newer vehicles. This kit makes it possible to bring the electronics up to current in this classic vehicle. Metra did an outstanding job on this kit. Install wasn't too difficult. Trimming of the Ducts behind the radio was the hardest part and I used a reciprocating saw for that. Metra supplies Duct Tape (silver metal sheets) to tape over the duct and reseal it.

It looks great! Not the easiest install but that's Chrysler's fault. It only took me about 45 minutes to install start to finish.
