Sure do. I bought from Crutchfield and they will hook you up with everything you need. I got the harness to plug into my factory harness with stering wheel controls.

Very easy if you get the harness that attaches to your stock wiring. All you have to do is strip the ends of the wires from the new HU wires and the harness that attaches to your Jeep and match up the correct colors.
Taking the dash apart is very easy a matter of minutes removing 4 7mm screws and snapping out the dash pieces.

Thank you that's the most helpful post I have gotten yet. Is the same true if I get the brake/parking brake bypass so I can enter directions and have the DVD playable while in motion? Also is the same true if I buy the harness that restore steering wheel controls. Is all I have to do is strip the wires off the head unit and plug the correct colors into the harness? I am a total nube in doing this but would rather DYI then pay $350 for someone to install it for me. Looking at the alpine ine 920.
I thought about getting the parking brake bypass but then after doing some research I saw that all you ha to do was wire it to ground as long as it's a negative ground system. I can watch DVD's while moving.
The new PAC harness has steering wheel controls in it all you do is plug the controller into the new harness. I'd recommend going to the Crutchfield site and doing a chat with them. They'll tell you everything you need to do. I was a little apprehensive at first but after watching a YouTube video on how to take the dash apart and getting the instructions from Crutchfield (I bought my HU from them) it was a piece of cake and I saved over $400.
If you knew exactly what you needed, how to install, and were going to save a substantial amount Amazon is a good option.
Typically there isn't a huge price difference especially since Crutchfield throws in free items that you would have to buy additional using Amazon. For my setup it ended up being cheaper at Crutchfield since I didn't have to buy the install kit or antenna adapters.
i finally got home to install my 7" dvd player. it went great untill i tried to put the dash back together. i had to get the cutter out and trim the dash so the dvd would fit in there. i would either buy a smaller screen or one with buttons on the sides, not on the bottom. but looks good and works great. ill try to post pics little later.
