Re: I need the radio operating manual for a Jeep Patriot...
Following is the procedure. u can also check ehow for more details.
Twist the negative cable off the terminal on the vehicle battery, using an adjustable wrench.
Remove the factory issue stereo. Pry off the radio trim bezel
with a flat head screwdriver. Remove the four bolts on each corner of
the radio. Pull the radio out the dashboard. Unplug the thick black
radio antenna cable. Disconnect the wire harnesses from the rear of the
stereo. Place the old stereo to one side.
Prepare the dashboard for the new stereo. Fit the radio
installation sleeve provided with the aftermarket stereo to the radio
installation kit. Feed the sleeve through the portal of the radio
installation kit and bend the tabs on the sides of the sleeve to secure
it in place. Feed the audio wiring of the Jeep and the radio antenna
cable through the portal of the assembly and slide the assembly into the
dashboard. Secure it in place with the bolts removed earlier.
Wire the new stereo. Connect the wiring of the stereo to the
audio wiring of the Patriot, using a custom wire harness adapter. Push
the connections together until they snap into place and test the
connection by tugging gently on either end.
Plug the radio antenna cable into the alloted port on the rear of the aftermarket head unit.
Slide the connected aftermarket stereo into the prepared
housing in the Patriot's dashboard. Click it into place in the radio
installation sleeve, taking care not to trap any wiring.
