Factory Stereo iPod Control in 1999-2004 Jeep Grand Cherokees
I just put a USA Spec iPod interface into Danielle’s 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee. I really have to start taking pictures and adding them here. Suffice it to say that there was no adapter needed in addition to the USA Spec kit. The beautiful part was that it took me all of about 20 minutes to install it and Armor All the dash before and after I replaced the stereo. If you are looking for instructions on how to remove the stereo in a 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee (dash removal) here you go. It worked right out of the box. The nice part about the USA Spec kit is that it charges the iPod as well as allows you to control it with the factory CD changer controls on the factory stereo. I put one into my Tahoe a few months ago and the installation was just as easy and works just as well in that vehicle.

I have a 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee and wish to add an auxiliary input so that I may use the 1/8″ jack to play my Ipod and GPS (has SD card for MP3′s) through my car stereo.
How do I determine what exact OEM stereo is in my vehicle?
How do I know if a CD-C (CD changer) button should or could exist?
What affordable options do I have to modify the stereo system so as to accomplish this task with and/or without the CD-C option?
