Hello friends, please sorry if my issue is solved, I have not found it.
I want to change my factory radio for a Kenwood radio, that kind of radio that are regular square.
The problem is, that my factory radio is not square!!! It is that class of radio that has two semi-curves on two sides. Are there any way to replace that part of the Jeep dashboard to convert it for the square one form?

Thanks guys!

The real question is - is the stereo your installing a single din or double din unit? By "regular square" I assume you're installing a double din unit, that's what most - but not all Commanders have; ANY double din head unit install kit should come with trim parts & pieces necessary to complete a nice symmetrical install job.

Big "thank you" for that. I had a similar thread a couple of weeks ago and got nowhere.

Ordered this and an Alpine ILX-W650 for our interstate January trip.

Seriously, thank you.

I ordered the same conversion kit yesterday. Cant wait to get the new equipment in there!

How did the installation of the Alpine ILX-W650 go?

I have the factory non-navigation radio on a 2007 Jeep Commander, and trying to upgrade to a double DIN Alpine stereo receiver. I have not found much information.

Thanks,

@jorged75;

If you want to upgrade from a single din to a double din unit the first & most important step is ordering a new dash bezel designed for the REC Double DIN OEM Unit.

You can find them on e-bay.
