What did you replace your 130 head unit with?

Have the Alpine set up but the 130 head.

Want simple swap out - would love to be able to watch DVD's, if no external antenna maybe GPS - double DIN of course.

Not sure if their is an "audio in" jack anywhere other than the 130 head unit so if not located in the armrest compartment - I'd need one on the head unit I guess.

Suggestions?

Thanks

2017 Willys

I went with the Sony XAV-AX 100.

You have like 5 options that most people do. The 430, Joying, Sony, Pioneer, Kenwwod. I would say Pioneer and Kenwood are the most popular upgrades. All are within a few hundred bucks of each other. Kenwood and Pioneer have "upgraded" modles with more features and larger price tags.

Beyond that you get into the crazy $$ Alpine units and custom headunits.

It all depends on what you want and need. My review of the Sony is below.

I went with Kenwood's DNX 893s and love it. Tons of features, looks great, sounds great.

All of the HUs mentioned above are a huge step forward over the stock 130.

I went with the 430 (non-nav) since I wanted to ensure that I wouldn't have any issues with the wheel controls. It was simple plug and play and was able to quickly add a backup camera, which was the main reason why I went with a touch screen.

Looking back on it I sort of wish I had gotten an aftermarket option, but eh, the 430 isn't that horrible.



I was able too, but it took a lot of tries to do so. Eventually I had to go to the support page and there is a link for unresolved issues. I guess the issue went to some higher tier customer support. I received a call from them one day and she switched it over right there. Just keep trying and you'll get it.

I originally had the oem alpine upgrade. When I upgraded to a 6200nex, I wasn't able to fade back/forth. To be honest, I was very content with the oem alpine speakers until they started distorting at higher volumes once I added the 6200.

I added Morel Maximo's 6.5 component system up front and Morel Maximo 6.5 coax for rear fills. I also added a logic amp which can support the the maximos and then some. Rear sub is stock. The Morel Maximo's are designed for oem systems/HU upgrades due to its high sensitivity (I believe 91) but they open up once amped to their rms range.

If you don't want a screen, you may want to check out some of the screen-less double DIN options like the Pioneer FH-X520UI. It should look a little more stock and finished than those Metra adapters that leave you a useless cd pocket.

Check out Bestbuy and filter by Double Din. That should show you most of the non touchscreen receivers
