Installing an XM receiver using the factory radio
Here are a few options for installing XM radio in 2002-up Grand Cherokee’s that have satellite radio capable radios, or in 1999-2001 Grand Cherokees that have a satellite radio capable 2002-up radio installed:
1. Delphi XM Receiver Cassette Adaptor – If you have a factory AM/FM/Cassette radio, many receivers have kits that utilize a cassette slot adaptor to transmit the signal to the head unit. The display can then be mounted permanently or temporarily around, on or under the dash. MSRP $69.99.
2. Delphi XM Receiver Universal FM Modulated Audio Adaptor – Offers a fast and easy set-up with no cassette player required. Low profile design and is compatible with all vehicle FM radios. Selection of eight FM Frequencies [MHz]: 88.1, 88.3, 88.5, 88.7, 107.1, 107.3, 107.5, or 107.7. MSRP $29.99.
3. CHRY02/PC-PIOX Precision Interface Electronics (PIE) interface – For Pioneer brand XM receivers and Pioneer CD changers. Plugs into the rear 10-pin CD changer connector on the back of the factory radio. This interface will allow the Pioneer XM receivers listed below to be integrated into the factory radio. It will also allow the use of selected Pioneer 6-disc changers but will not allow the use of the factory 10-disc changer. This interface does not allow presets or direct channel access for the XM tuner.
- Jeep radio models “RBB” and “RBK” will display “SA” and the channel number only.
- Jeep radio models “RBU”, “RAZ”, and “RBQ” will display full text (channel name/number, artist & song title)
