Didn't realize I couldn't edit the first post. Anyway also open to suggestions on the install materials. I have in my cart right now PAC RP4-CH11, Alpine iLX-W650, Metra 95-6511 Dash Kit, Metra 40-EU10. The Jeep doesn't have Uconnect but has the upgraded alpine subwoofer/sound system. There's also no USB ports anywhere in the jeep so I'll be adding one somewhere too. Was thinking about adding that to the inside of the center console. I'll be adding the Crux CCH-01W back up camera as well.

 

Hi - How did you make out with the CCH-01W install? I just bought the same head unit and wanted to know if it was worth it.

 

I 3d printed one to go where stock uconnect one goes. Works fine, no wind even with top down.

Thanks buddy, any way you can take a picture of the location for me? it's actually my GFs jeep. And the radio is her bday present. I don't want her to see me poking around inside the car and ask 1000 questions. it's a 2014 unlimited if that makes a difference

 

I attached mine right above the rear view mirror.

 

I put mine on the steering column.

I used the same location as the factory mic as I wanted the wire completely hidden. Works fine with top on or off........

 

For our Pioneer AVH-W4400NEX, believe it or not, it works fine inside the dash behind the stereo (including top-off use). I suspect your voice is sort of focused there by the windshield. I put it there temporarily, figuring I'd run it overhead by the driver later, but it works so well, there isn't any point in moving it.

 

I was just trying to put mine somewhere that would be the most protected from wind when the top is off.

 

There's a vent hole under the key that might work if you don't have the sensor behind it for auto temp control.

Personally, running it to the A-pillar and back to the stock location where the vent is will probably be pretty good. I would just use electrical tape and wrap it around the stock mic - you don't want to remove the stock mic, it will send a trouble code that shows up on computer readings, even when using an aftermarket headunit.

 

I installed a new head unit and the factory mike was removed. No codes have shown up. On my 2016 the mic was completely recessed so there would not be anyway to attach the new aftermarket mic to it. BTW the Kenwood mic is far superior in that it has true noise cancelation and is totally clear when talking on it.

 

Kinda hard to see in this pic but mine is mounted under the sPod above the rear view mirror and works just fine.
