So if I've got the overhead console in my XJ I should have MPG reading as well?

 

No joke I looked up the module on an OEM site and it was $500+ I about blew milk out my nose haha. Incredible they want that much for that unit....

 

I'm not sure I pulled my overhead console out of a 92 in the junkyard.

 

Yup, Here's a part that has been sitting on their self for twenty years. You would think they would cut a person a break just to get rid of it. I offered a $100, But they would rather keep another twenty years. Trying to get the $699. By then no one will need it. For $699, You could install a 7" drop down screen Nav unit instead. I ended up watching e-bay for over a year to find a working one in a console. For under a $100, I payed $65 for a really beat up console. Pull the module out, threw the rest away. I already had my OHC recovered, when the module died. OHC are worth their weight in gold, Check out e-bay prices on them. Usually they sell for $100+. If you seem them in the Junk yard, grab them to sell on e-bay. Can make some easy money. If you ever need a different module, They where also used in other OHC's by Chrysler. Like The Town & Country Van, The New Yorker, etc., etc. Just have to find the right year.

 

Yes

 

That's good to know about the different models out there that may have the same module. I posted in the wanted section and this guy said he has one he would be willing I sell me for $40 shipped. I've already grabbed two from the junkyard and both units were junk. $30 a pop get expensive when they don't work and ya gotta keep heading back.

 

I guess I really got lucky in that my compass/Temp unit worked fine straight from the Junkyard. If it dies, I'll likely hit junkyard again, or check forums for replacement. No issues so far though. The LED upgrades to the light bulbs definitely are brighter, and well worth the $3.49/LED that I paid. At some point, I will pull the OHC and reupholster it ( Have leftover fabric from reupholstering the rear speaker bar). Incidentally, those speaker bars are HARD to find in Western Washington.

 

Ya the sound bars are hard to come by. Both out in Cali and here in Iowa I couldn't find one at a junkyard. Posted in the wanted section and lucked out finding a guy near me who had one for sale. $20 later I was set!!! You got a link to the LEDs you used? I've used them in the past and haven't been that happy with them.

 

I found my Soundbar by dumb luck of hitting junkyard when a 1996 had been brought it. Had to do fiberglass repair on it, but that was easy, and relined with grey headliner fabric ( I'm keeping stock appearance overall for now). The same vehicle provided me with a High Mount Brake light assembly ( Had to run my own wires & drill holes, but it fits onto older liftgate pastic covers without issue).

Here is link to the place I got all my LEDs from:

The Vehicle bulb finder covers a lot, but its not accurate in a few areas & didnt even cover the Festoon style bulbs for Cargo light/normal dome light, or the ones for Vanity Mirrors. And for the Cigarette Lighter, only 1 of the 3 types listed actually fits into the special bulb sheath (the others have too wide of a head). I'll post my list of what works, when I get home tonight.
Having said all that, the LEDs have posed no issue at all & work great. The only modification involved was for putting the LED style Festoon into the Cargo light ( Had to carve a little plastic out from the holder stands, but it will still work fine for stock bulb if needed). All others were drop in replacements. I even replaced the bulbs in the high mount brake light & they work very well.
