I have a 1999 jeep cherokee sport and im planning on taking the stock unit out and putting in a aftermarket cd player. I know how to pop off the bezell, but do i need a aftermarket bracket? Because the stock unit looks alot bigger than the aftermarket unit. Ive got the wiring chart, but this is my first time putting in a cd player, is it relatively easy to do? Thanks!

yeah if your new one is smaller than stock you need something to fill that space in, i'd google it

call up an audio store to see what type of products they have for the unit you got and your year xj

The wiring harness mentioned above and a dash kit (plastic surround to fill in the extra space) should be all you need. Real simple and will take less than 30-40 minutes if its your first time.

Good deal, i wired up the lights on my safari racks lights so this shouldnt be too bad. I just didnt know what all i need. Thanks for the info!

also does anyone know where i can find a stereo wiring diagram for a 1999 jeep cherokee, bc the one i found had some few different color wires than mine did

you should be able to get an adapter harness for the wiring. I'm doing this in the near future to my 99 Xj and this is what I plan on using:

Thanks for the links, the only thing is that those clips wont go in my cd player, it came with a small harness/wires that plugs into the cd player but i have to wire the wires to the stereo wiring system
