Introduction and Features
The SRK-JW18EH is a complete radio replacement kit with integrated climate control retention for select Jeep Wrangler
JL and Jeep Gladiator JT vehicles. All modules and cables are included to retain important features of the factory
system, including: steering wheel-mounted radio controls, factory reverse camera, USB ports, and AM/FM reception.
Data integration with the vehicle and the Stinger ELEV8 or Stinger HEIGH10® radio (sold separately) allows for the
retention and addition of the following features: vehicle performance gauges and information, climate controls, vehicle
settings, factory amplier control, and forced camera activation. Simplied installation and setup menus allow direct
programming of camera triggers, steering wheel controls, and other settings of the radio and CH4A-JW18 interface.
See Important Notes (next section) for additional information.
Plug & Play wiring harnesses and cables allow for quick and easy installation without the need to cut or splice any
wiring.
