Thanks the inside currently looks better than the outside lol. The seats are Corbeau Sport seats.

I'm no expert when it comes to installing audio stuff but I've always done my own. I have one amp powering my components and one for my sub.

I really want to upgrade the garbage unit in my XJ from the PO (its like a $60 Dual brand) and I had a 7" touch screen alpine in my old Cummins that I really liked..... and with this being a shallow unit, it seems perfect with a tiny bit of modding.

It wouldn't be a deal breaker if the data isn't displayed from the radio station, but would be nice.........................
​​​​​​If you're talking AM/FM radio I have no idea to be honest bc I buy aftermarket headunits for ipod (when they were relevant)/BT so i can play Spotify. I'm spoiled lol. I'll take a look when i drive to work tmrw though.

Yeah idk it wasn't the smartest purchase but at least they make brackets for about any vehicle so I'm not limited to just using them in the Jeep.

​​​Can confirm when i put on the radio that there is no data. This is an old picture from the initial install but still looks exactly like this.

Oh yeah hahahaahah Alpine.
when I was looking at that unit yesterday I copy and pasted the model number that you had in this thread into Google and when I went to the Alpine website it said there was a software update. I would bet there has been more before this one...
