Dash Kit Integration Package for Pioneer - Fits 2020-up* Jeep^® Gladiator JT

The new AXPIO-JT1 is a fully integrated dash kit package designed specifically for Pioneer^® DMH-W4600NEX/W4660NEX or DMH-WC5700NEX receivers**. This complete solution features an Axxess AXPIO Series interface, vehicle specific harnessing, a dash kit, and more. Vehicle information and settings that were controlled on the factory screen are retained, displayed, and controlled on the Pioneer^® touchscreen. These settings would otherwise be lost after replacing the head unit, including HVAC controls and gauges, heated/cooled seats, and other driver personalization options.

 

Since the factory LVDS backup camera will no longer work, Metra has included an IP68 rated iBEAM^® backup camera as a high-quality, direct OE replacement. A replacement panel for the USB, AUX, and HDMI^® ports is also included with 3-feet of wiring, along with a radio antenna adaptor for GPS. For even more value, Axxess’s patented STOP/START engine override is built into the interface, which is designed to disengage the STOP/START feature, if equipped, and keep that feature disengaged even after the key has been cycled. The built-in integration technology from Axxess also retains safety chimes through an offboard speaker, retains audio controls on the steering wheel, retains R.A.P. (Retained Accessory Power), and provides accessory power (12-volt 10-amp) and NAV outputs for parking brake, reverse, and speed sense.

●     Designed for Pioneer^® DMH-W4600NEX/W4660NEX or DMH-WC5700NEX receivers (will also work with the 9” Pioneer^® touchscreens with the additional purchase of the Metra 109-UN02 dash kit)
