[GCARC] Grand Cherokee radio install

[Vinnie Sallustio]

I have installed several radios in cars and vans over the years, and here is usually a hole that you can get the power cables through. It's usually somewhere near the steering wheel column. If worst case comes to worse and you cannot find the hole, just drill a small one enough to get the power cables through and then use a rubber grommet and some silicone to keep any kind of weather out. I don't ever recall having to drill a hole in any of the installs I've done. But it's been a while since I've done it.

Subject: [GCARC] Grand Cherokee radio install

Hi All-
Has anyone done a radio install for a grand cherokee? Mine is a 2021 limited that I own now so I am thinking of doing a more permanent install, but still do not want to drill holes. I am unsure of proper grounding and I'm sure this could go down a rabbit hole but thought I would check to see if anyone has done this on a similar Jeep.

Thanks !
