Radio replacement · 2011–2018
Is your Wrangler radio still a tiny screen?
2011–2018 Wrangler JK never got a modern screen. These dash kits fill the factory opening with wireless CarPlay. Check hardtop vs unlimited and whether you have the small or premium radio.

The failure: JK factory radios are small, slow, and have no CarPlay. Aftermarket 9–10 inch kits are the usual upgrade.
Fit: JK 2011–2018. Not JL 2018+.
