Do they make a radio delete plate for a 98 XJ?
My '98 XJ still has the OEM stereo, tape player only. :censored: My plan is to replace it with a blank plate, and install an amp with a bluetooth receiver to get music off my phone. I haven't listened to FM radio in years. Then, I can use the blank plate as a place to install other switches and gauges.
Is there such a thing as an OEM radio delete plate that would go here? Either from an XJ or other Chrysler vehicle with the same size radio? I know I can get a DIN adapter, and then a blank DIN plate...but it wouldn't be as large as the face of the stock radio. Would like as much space as possible to install switches and such... Been googling my brains out but I can't seem to find such a thing, only generic DIN block offs. Did Chrysler ever make such a thing? |
Get a single din install kit and superglue a plate of good black plastic material over it. You can still easily remove the entire assembly when you want to install switches, just 2 bolts
*edit: disregard, didn't read the whole post, it's late. |

Never too much room for switches! :icon_biggrin: |
You can get plain black plastic plates for work like this. Installers use them to create cleaner nicer looking installations.
Here is one on amazon. I just bought one a few days ago: Install Bay ABS Plastic 12 X 12 X 1/8-Inch by Install Bay Link: http://a.co/7pSPuEB |
Have a audio shop make you one.

OEM Part #4372399
They're EOL so doubt you'll find a dealer with one in stock. http://www.turbododge.com/forums/f8/...ml#post2310970 |

Extended idle Fog lights Electric fan override Seat heater Power inverter Air compressor Light bar ...and a volume knob for the amp I'm replacing the stereo with... If you don't need extra switches you might as well be driving a model T. |
