Does anyone know the make and model of this radio in my 2000 Jeep Cherokee Sport? It's not OE and not in the owner's manual. The only ID on the face is the Dolby sound logo. The entire face is detachable as an anti-theft deterrent but there's no mfr ID on the inner panel or backside of the face. I don't want to take apart the dash and pull it out. Thank you all in advance for any help.

Not an OE radio, and looking for maker name and model ID per the radio face. The lit background behind the time is a deep red-orange.

 

Never put an aftermarket radio in an XJ but gotta figure it should be easy enough to take out.
Then maybe you can get some more info about it.
Going to have to remove that bezel around the radio.
Turn the key on without starting. Put the Jeep in first. Grab the very bottom and give it a good yank.
Now the bezel is pretty sturdy, I have had mine out more then I care to admit, but there is always a chance something could crack.
20 year old brittle plastic and all. Mine has not yet.
After that you are on your own.

 

Pull the trim piece from around the radio, etc. off and look for a sticker on the radio. Could be on the sides, top or bottom. Sometimes its on the backside. Or Google different radios and you 'might' get lucky finding the same one. Most brands like to put thier name right onto the face of the unit, but that one doesnt which is strange. Unless thats what the "D" is for on the lower left?

The trim piece on the dash just pulls off. Move the shifter back. Grab both lower corners of the trim and pull. There are some clips along the side as well which should more or less pop themseleves once the lower is free.

 

Thanks, gents. I didn't know the bezel is a snap-in. I thought I'd have to get under the dash and I don't bend well any more.
I will give it a try when the weather (and) garage temps mild up. Also the plastic may be less brittle when warmer. I've had the Jeep 10-12 years now so a little longer won't hurt.

 

Kinda figured you did not know cause of the whole I don't want to take the dash apart thing.
Hopefully whoever wired the radio used these:



Those get connected to the loose wires on the back of the aftermarket radio and lets you plug it right into the harness behind the dash.
There is a chance they could have cut the connectors off the dash harness and wired it direct to.
If they did that hopefully left you enough slack to at least pull it out far enough to see if you can see something to clue you in on the make and model.

 

Thanks again
The buttons are finicky and I like to have owner manuals anyway, even if the only way to get them is a download. That's why I began to try and figure out the radio make and model.
Judging by the condition of the vehicle when I got it, everything was carefully done so I'm betting it's the oirignal harness -- if I'm lucky.
I am not having a problem other than trying to remember how to set the time and date -- I've done it before so all I need is five minutes without my gloves on. The sound quality is great and the CD player works.
So if it isn't broke..... etcetera.

 

It may not be an after market radio, it might be from another vehicle. It is far to easy to use to be after market. After market radios all seem to have tiny little buttons that can only be used with long finger nails cut to points.
